Writing Rumba: The Afrocubanista Movement in Poetry Health & Daily Living a case study of someArising in the heyday of the music recently made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club, afrocubanismo was an artistic and intellectual movement in Cuba in the 1920s and 1930s that tried to convey a national and racial identity.
