BALLET & DANCE: Havana Rakatan
Cuban hit show, Havana Rakatan, returns to the Peacock after rave reviews in 2007. Nilda Guerra's acclaimed Cuban company Ballet Rakatan brings a slice of Havana flavour to the Peacock Theatre as high-octane Cuban dance combines with an awe-inspiring Cuban band in this spectacular new show direct from the world's most soulful city. From the sexy, spontaneous Rumba to the slick footwork of the Cha Cha Cha, this is a show that's guaranteed to get heads nodding and feet tapping. Set to live Cuban music courtesy of Cuba's well-known Son band Turquino, Havana Rakatan is a captivating journey through the dance and music of a truly unique country. Beginning with the Cuban fusion of Spanish culture and African spiritual beliefs, choreographer Nilda Guerra takes us through a rich mix of Flamenco, Yoruba and Afro-Haitian rhythms, before moving on to the modern forms of salsa that originated in the early twentieth century salon dances. Jazz, Mambo, Bolero, Son, Cha Cha Cha, Rumba and Salsa all come alive in a dazzling dance display of Cuban passion.
