Munich's Cuban festival. Roots & revolution. Every July. Four days of Cuban music and dance — established orchestras on Saturday, emerging teachers Thursday through Sunday. Los Van Van headlines the main night; the rest is curated to discover the next generation of Cuban dance before the European circuit does.
