In the 80s, hip hop took hold in Cuba, where a young man named Jose Francisco Barosso was making a name for himself as a break-dancer on the streets of Havana. He was soon recruited to join one of Cuba?s most prestigious traditional dance companies. Barosso now teaches traditional AfroCuban dance in the Bay Area, and he?s collaborating on a new hybrid project that returns him full circle to his hip hop roots in Havana.
