Oyu Oro is committed to the preservation of
Afro-Cuban folklore and the cross-cultural under-
standing of the dance and music forms derived
from African culture. While Oyu Oro's traditional
repertoire pays tribute to African lineages derived
from the Yoruba, Congo, Carabali, Arará, and
Dahomean cultures of West Africa and Haiti, the
popular dance choreographies also celebrate
the national Cuban heritage.
