- Andrea and her husband are descendants of the slaves who arrived in Cuba in the 18th Century. They are today the presidents of the Tumba of Santiago, a living culture brought to Cuba by slaves. To perpetuate tradition, they take the children in hand and teach them how to play and sing. They struggle to teach younger people so that the Tumba lives on.
Extract from the documentary: “Living Cultures - The Tumba Francesa”
Direction: Jean Queyrat
Production: ZED for TF1

I am Jamaicaan and our ancestors came from West Africa too...Santiago is very close to Jamaica and we are the same people
I love ❤️ my Cuban and African ancestors and know they are watching over me and protecting me. I feel their spirit everyday around me even when im praying Cuba 🇨🇺 forever ♥️ ❤️ 💙 I'm half Cuban and half African-American. I love ❤️ both of my cultures and see where I got my strength 💪
I'm half Afro cuban American and African American from my father's side my great grandfather was from La Habana Cuba 🇨🇺 He was Black
@@diontejones8094 I'm also Cuban and African-American my father's family are from La Habana and Santiago de Cuba🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
My father half black half Cuban alot of Haitians migrated to Cuba hence why you have Cuban creole.
I am AFRICAN from Liberia , but currently live in New Jersey. Greetings to u all! United we are strong!!!
im afro cuban living in nj
I'm not African. I'm in Chicago
@@pablorodriguez6094 wonderful will love to visit Cuba oneday
@@AngryNegativeHistoryProject been to Chicago a nice city
@@warldorwessarnoelt3936 yeah it was nicer a couple decades back. The food isn't as good, everything is more expensive, crime is up, its not as safe, and the parking sucks and is expensive. I used to pay $250 a month to park by my ex girlfriend apartment. Screw that place
I’m a proud Haitian, we influence people everywhere
@@Notbad-ep6nb right
Its all the same root. Caribbean, African-Brazilian, African Cuban, African American, we are all African ✊🏽
No Africans do, Haitians are nothing but Africans Stranded on an island
Thank you for sharing this lovely footage. So often the stories of Black people are not told from our own perspective. The world needs to know that our lives are rich and significant and that what is portrayed of us in mainstream media and society isn't always accurate. We are beautiful, dignified, purposeful and constructive.
Do you have any historical stories?
So true my brother
Gives me chills ! My culture , my people ❤
she is a cuban from a french line of hatians .
my family is from matanzas , african and chinese we are close with yoruba culture and
this was cool to see .
My father is from Matanzas.
I would love to know more. I was told that my grandfather parents were french. All my cousin in Cuba I look identical to the white in black side.
Unfortunately some Cuban want to deny it
@@p.bombuse7341 Mi papa is from Matanzas tambien. Soy Lucumi hija de Yemaya Okute 💪🏿💪🏾💪🏿🇨🇺
@@beatrice123fulI am janaican and I agree. Alot.of so call black cubans hate their ties to Africa. They were taught to hate themselves
Come on why the classical European music over Afro-Cuban drumming
Interesting style choice puts it into perspective that they are doing true royal court room dancing by setting it to the classic music. Not just some made up provincial jig this is a dance with a name and a history
I'm black and proud and I like Cuba.🖤🇨🇺
It looks like Santiago de Cuba is my next destination! Thanks for sharing
I love my oruba (Yoruba)people of cuba
Viva Cuba, su musica, su gente, su Arte musical incomparable, su cultura, y, su bella Isla del Sabor.
Uu
Long live blck africans in cuba

The first to ship people from Africa as slaves were the Portuguese not the Spanish, but at this point, does it matter?
Am jamaican, cuban neighbour. The wicked english brought us here first
This is a beautiful place with such a vintage feel to it!
I love my people everywhere ✊🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽🇬🇭🌍🇨🇺
Thank you
I would like to use 28 seconds of this film for non commercial purposes. How do I go about getting permission for this?
Cuba reminds me of my home Louisiana used to be so nice and rich but now it’s run down and old
Independent thinking for Our people. Amen.
Slavery still exist but more modern sadly
No, Cuba is communist. Those guys are really lucky, in the west people work overtime and still can't afford basic things like healthcare and ritirement.
Slavery will always exist my guy as long as there are people.
@@godfather7339 "communist" "lucky" "The west" where are you from
He doesn't know what Cuban go through
I’m the great-great-granddaughter of the daughter of a slave. I find that descendants of slaves from Cuba tend to be grateful to have been born free from slavery rather than victims. It is a very controversial topic this days, though
They are indigenous peoples
@@blacklivesmatters3151 I’m not sure what you mean by “indigenous people”
@sneksnekitsasnek That's so true, its called White fragility.
@@darrickwhite1986 no. Theyre talking about blacks. It has nothing to do with whites.
@@meatballsandwich5329 no, its the white fragility, as I said it. Do your homework and find out why the governors & lawmakers are trying to remove teaching about slavery and discrimination history in the US. Us American Descendants of Slavery don't want them to forget, and are demanding reparations, which is not victim mentality.
I love this ❤❤
That was very interesting, because I did not know what kind of race that were in Cuba. Thank you.
Cubans come in all of the colors of the rainbow. Many, like me, are white, but many more are black and still many more are mixed.
Was there for 7 years. The grade of black white mixture is mind boggling.
Any other race rivaling in shades of skin color would be the Indian subcontinent.
Like any other country, you will find black, white, and all colors .
Real Cubans have taino and African blood
@@camthespaceman6920 incorrect Taino are the natives Africanos and espanoles are not
They say Bomba from Mayaguez is the same as Tumba Francesa is this right?
❤ I love Cuba
My ancestors from Cuba were slaves
It's astonishing how recent that history is, just a couple of generations ago.
CUBA 👍
Vive Cuba ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
In cameroon call that esawe
What do you call esawe?
Ase, Namastaey, AMEN.🙏 🙌 👏 ❤️ ♥️ ✨️ 🙏.
LETS ALL KNOW

Slavery is big bissnes today too.
They learned from the wicked white man who started it. Every where they go they enslave people and steal their lands.
Fashion.
BILION TIME YEAR USED LONG LIFE
haiti big history
Yes 🇭🇹 I’m so proud
I was made aware through DNA testing that I am of afro'-cuban jamaican Igbo and 13% European
Cuba has French influence, not because the presence of France was more for the Haitian revolution
Dessalines kicked the French out.
☺
Child and woman was cruel as they was their husband
Long live abakua
I stopped watching when I saw metallic hinges slipped around ankles of African and chain cramped up on anvil. A bad sensation of anger creeps within me
The best drummers in the World are in Cuba they better than Africans. Viva Cuba
Yes !!!
Maybe they have good drummers but Africa always has the best drummers especially in west Africa
Cubans are Africans, from Congo, Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana
But they are Haitian descent
@@beatrice123ful Some are as first largest non Cuban group are Haitians. Like lot of people are Haitian descent in DR which is on the same island.
🇭🇹
Yet America say the slaves were happy and treated very well.
What happened to the indians?
Many were whiped out by disease brought by the wicked enslavers of europe. Am.jamaican and we had arawaks who were here before my ancestors
Cuba with the letter "K," who is the translator of You Tube? Whoever it is is a terrible translator. Sorry guys.
😂🤣😂😂😂😂
ISRAELITES......
Stop with this israelites bs!
No
They were the original owners of the land and yt men came and enslaved them taking all resources and lying about who they truly are!!!! Taino!!!
Black people are jot the original owners of any land in the Americas. The real Taino people where either killed or absorbed into the population.
Tainos were a Native American tribe found in PR and Cuba. I am a descendant of them. In addition, Cuba also had the Ciboney and Guanajatabeyes tribes, though lesser in numbers and might. Please don't spread misinformation, black people in the Caribbean are descendants slaves brought over from Africa, they are not the Native tribes original to this land.
¡Viva la Revolución y Fidel! ¡Viva el Socialismo! 🇨🇺 ☭
Why talk about the past all the time....it's like reverse psychology on one self..
We must never forget the past
It hurts you because may be you are not black. Marcus Garvey from my country jamaica says: a people ignorant of their past is like a tree without its roots
You dojt HAVE to watch
70 years is too long to know about the past, and the next generation is going backward in circles.
meanwhile, others on warp
speed on math and science..that will never ever happen. Here's why... no one
like schools
