It is in Geneve that I met Luanda Pau, on Satruday the 20th of november 2010. She has come there to give a workshop and a show of Afro-cuban dances at the request of her colleagues and friends Jesus Gonzalez Cruz and Reinaldo "Flecha" Delgado. at first sight, i was charmed by her simplicity and grace. Then, as a participant to her workshop, I could appreciate her qualities as a teacher. Finally, attending to her show at night, I was fascinated by her dance and by her radiant smile. I thus tried to know more about her, which allows me to offer to you this vidéo documentary. It is divided into two parts :
Part 1 – Chip from the old block (about her youth and first years of artistical career in Cuba)
Part II – A Cuban artist in Europe (about her present activities in France)
Enjoy !!!!
