Manana 2016 is scheduled for next May.

The Manana Festival, which has been approved by the Cuban government, hopes to connect “Afro-Cuban Folkloric masters” with members of the global electronic music community. The festival is scheduled for May 4-6, 2016 in Santiago de Cuba.

The festival has already enlisted Mala (Mala In Cuba, indeed), Puerto Rico’s Grupo ÌFÉ, the Sofrito DJ collective, Cuban drumming “godfather” Galis, Santiago rumba act Obba Tuke and the Compañía Ballet Folclórico de Oriente. Along with performances, the festival promises workshops, seminars, talks and more.

As is de rigueur these days, the festival has launched a Kickstarter to help make the event a reality. The campaign has already raised more than £9,000 of its £40,000 goal. For more details, head to the festival’s Kickstarter page.
