The Ballet Folklórico Cutumba is undoubtedly one of Cuba's most vibrant folkloric dance companies. Based in Santiago de Cuba in the Oriente province of eastern Cuba and founded in 1960, Cutumba performs Afro-Cuban-Franco-Haitian dance and music with a special focus on preserving the rich heritage of the region.
José Carrión was the principal dancer & corps professor of Cutumba until he retired in 2005 after dancing in the company of 25 years. He now resides in Seattle, Washington where he is the co-director of the Academy of Cuban Folklore & Dance.
