about

All beginnings are endings: intersections where souls collide and messengers reside. The crossroads unite young with old, body with spirit, and life with death. The ancient Greeks called this exchange Hermes, inspiring the Romans to mark dusk and dawn with the silver planet Mercury. Today in Brazil the crossroads live in the sacred figure Exú, and in Cuba in Elegguá. The batá drums of Old Havana celebrate the beginning of this musical journey.

Guests: Grupo Aña Vi Ará (percussion, Cuba), Michael Spiro (percussion, USA)
