Afro-Cuban Experimental Dance Ensemble
Founded by Danys Perez "La Mora" ─ international Afro-
Cuban Folklore performer, choreographer, teacher and
dance ethnologist from Santiago de Cuba. Oyu Oro is
committed to the preservation of Afro-Cuban folklore
as well as to encouraging the cross-cultural
understanding of the dance and music forms derived
from African culture. While Oyu Oro’s traditional
repertoire pays tribute to African lineages derived from
the Yoruba, Congo, Carabali, Arará and Dahomean
cultures of West Africa and Haiti, the popular dance
choreographies also celebrate the national Cuban
heritage.
