Cuba: Descendants from slavery tell their story | SLICE

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
