We will meet at Beyond Roots headquarter in Old Havana to share a cup of coffee and get to know each other. Then we´ll travel to the town of Guanabacoa, the cradle of Afro-Cuban culture in Havana.

Once there we´ll have a firsthand contact with the Cuban life and our practices by meeting a “Babalawo” -the highest priest of Santeria. He will cleanse us at his altar and explain us about the main Afro-Cuban Religions and how he looks into people’s future and gives advices.

We´ll enjoy typical Afro-Cuban food and relax under the shadow of a sacred Ceiba tree listening to emblematic music played by members of the community and enjoy a dance performance while we taste a cup of Aguardiente, the beverage used in all Afro-Cuban religious practices.

After that we´ll go back to Beyond Roots store, the first and only Afro style shop in Cuba, having the opportunity to visit a space dedicated to highlighting the Afro identity in the island.

You will come as a guest but you will leave being part of the community.
