The Tumba Francesa

This documentary follows the Tumba Francesa in Cuba, an old French dance kept alive by descendants of enslaved people for hundreds of years. Through Sulaidy, who learns the tradition, and the elders who guard it in Santiago, it captures a living cultural inheritance under threat. The film honours music, memory and the resilience of the community that preserves it. A moving watch on Cuba, heritage and the endurance of a rare tradition. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
