Michael Spiro - From Santana to the Heart of Cuba

In this episode, I discuss with Michael Spiro about the roots of Rumba, the role of drums in spiritual traditions such as Cuban Santería, the path he traveled to become first a conga player and then a priest in that tradition, and the fascinating stories behind the formation of emblematic groups like Los Muñequitos de Matanzas and Afro-Cuba de Matanzas. Join us in this journey to The Heart of Cuba!
