Mozambique!: Una conversación con Leo Moré / A conversation with Leo Moré
Mozambique!: Una conversación con Leo Moré / A Conversation with Leo Moré digs into the mozambique, a rhythm that rose to prominence in Cuba in the mid-1960s as the sound of a new, youthful, revolutionary nation. Featuring veteran Cuban percussionist Leandro “Leo” Moré, this event will include a screening of an original documentary (Mozambique: El ritmo necesario / The Necessary Rhythm), a demonstration of the rhythm, and a call to Havana to speak with Mr. Moré, who participated in the development and dissemination of the rhythm, both in Cuba and abroad, with the group Pello el Afrokán y Su Ritmo Mozambique.
