Percussions Afro-Cubaines : Retraite des Racines du Rythme

19th – 26th July 2026

A week-long retreat for anyone interested in exploring the roots of Afro-Cuban percussion and ensemble work. This retreat is aimed at both beginners and those who have covered Latin percussion basics.

Our small-group folkloric percussion retreats offer intensive study in the foundations of Cuban rhythms, including batá, rumba, makuta, bembé, gúiro, palo and iyesá, among others. These highly polyrhythmic traditions strengthen timing, ensemble skills, focus and confidence. The retreat is also a great space to connect with like-minded people. We tailor each course to the needs and level of the group.

The week-long retreats are split between tuition and practice time, making the most of the amazing location, relaxing and, of course, eating and drinking.

What an amazing singing retreat! Set in the beautiful mountains of Spain, the whole experience was just magical. We stayed at a gorgeous finca with the loveliest hosts, Vicky and David, who made us feel so welcome. The singing sessions were brilliant — lots of great singing, laughter and fun, with such a lovely group atmosphere. And the food was absolutely delicious, thanks to the wonderful Italian cook, Kiara! A really special few days in a beautiful setting. I came home feeling happy, inspired and definitely singing a little louder! Would absolutely recommend.

I absolutely loved spending time with Vicky and Dave and a fantastic group learning Afro-Cuban songs! The food was super tasty and nourishing, and the views from the finca, overlooking the sea, with golden skies and the Milky Way, were truly unforgettable. But what I loved most was spending time with these amazing human beings, who are genuinely devoted to music, teaching, and community-making in such a fun, humble, down to earth and heartfelt way. These are qualities I’ve rarely found in teachers, so meeting Vicky and Dave felt like a precious gift that brought a lot of joy into my life. I can’t wait to go back. Thank you!
