HISTORY:
A long and painful journey from Africa:
The dances of the African continent as sacred and profane, came to America because of slavery. On slave ships traveling men, women, children from different ethnic groups and tribes, so the dance made-like customs, religion, ancestor worship, meals, etc-were varied but in many ways similar. However, some groups prevail over others, and the customs and cultures merged and interacted, creating new manifestations of the same spirit that united in grief and displacement.
So we can say that the African dances came to America from the second half of the sixteenth century, with the first contingent of slaves. (Note: for know the groups that arrived please consult: http://afefe-iku.blogspot.com/2006/06/las-naciones-africanas-en-brasil.html
must nevertheless be clarify that the term "African dance" was coined in the 1970's, when the dances of the black continent were re-discovered in France thanks to the constant work of the "African Ballet" of Fodéba Keita, a native of Guinea. In North America, a little earlier, in 1934 through the work of Assadata Dafora, Sierra Leone. So
was as dances originating in Africa, transformed and recreated to contact with other techniques, modifying, adapted to the stage. We should also mention, as the Africans influenced the creation of dances like the Charleston, rock and roll and more modern jazz, break dance, hip hop, etc and here in our country, in the Tango.
