Puerto Rico is composed of an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands and keys, the largest of which are Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. The main island of Puerto Rico is the smallest by land area and second smallest by population among the four Greater Antilles, which also include Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica. Puerto Ricans often call the island Borinquen, from Borikén, its indigenous Taíno name.

earthcds.com 50 Years On has been produced by La Timbala Films to showcase the work of one of Cuba's most famous music and dance groups - Afrocuba de Matanzas. Nine of the group's major works are presented in this high quality, 80 minute, performance, filmed and recorded live in specially selected locations around Matanzas. The nine performance pieces on this DVD provide an overall view of the pantheon of Afro-Cuban cultures maintained in Matanzas province, located in the western end of the island of Cuba. These ritual dances, with their accompanying music and song, represent the cultural heritage of many of the vast numbers of African slaves who were brought to Cuba over the long and painful history of transatlantic slavery. In Cuba, these ideas and traditions have been guarded, maintained, reconstructed and developed by both the descendents of their original carriers and the many sectors of Cuban society into which they have fed. They are by no means museum pieces. They are a vibrant, living element in contemporary Cuban culture, presented here in celebration of the 50th anniversary of this renowned group (1957-2007). This DVD includes a twenty page booklet containing background information and details about the pieces. Buy this DVD here: earthcds.com
