This free, donation-based workshop aims to raise funds for a permanent resting place for Maximino at Havana’s historic Cementerio de Colón, where many of Cuba’s greatest cultural and musical icons are buried. Currently resting in a temporary communal grave, Maximino deserves a lasting memorial where future generations can honor his extraordinary contributions to Cuban music and culture. Come learn, celebrate, and help preserve the legacy of a true rumba legend!
