Description: Grupo Experimental Nago - Merengue del CafetalnnMerengue, a Haitian influenced dance from the eastern Oriente province of Cuba, honors the work that was done on coffee plantations. Also a celebration after a long day of harvesting, the dance begins with movements and rhythms that reflect the work of gathering, shoveling, and blessing of the coffee. As bells, whistles, and horns join in, the dance becomes sensual and celebratory, ending the day with a fiesta.nnArtistic Direction & Choreograph
