“In honor to the African Heritage of Cuba” Pablo Cardenas present "Afro-Cuban Portrait"
The history of Afro-Cuban music represents an endless universe of beautiful melodies, incredible rhythms and unique dances. This is a big part of Cuban culture today, and is directly related to the Afro-Cuban religion. Africa is the main origin of all the different styles of this music, that includes the Toques de Bata, Bembe, (also named palo), and the different styles of rumba, a rhythm also based in African roots. The Afro Cuban music is also present mixed with other genres like Latin Jazz and popular Cuban music. One of the biggest attraction of this music are the “tambores Bata”, an instrument similar to the African yembe, on which both corners are played. Come check them out!
The West Coast Cuban Ensemble will be playing a selection of many of this rhythms and melodies on what will be a night full of musical richness and spiritual vibes.

≫ Land Acknowledgement ≪We would like to gratefully acknowledge that the territory on which this event takes place is on the traditional, stolen, unceded land of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We acknowledge the rich cultural history of the many peoples and rituals that have been affected by the ongoing process of dispossession and colonialism. We hold this understanding in our interactions and engagements with this land and its people.
≫ Accessibility ≪Our seating is a combination of high tables, bar stools, and cocktail tables with chairs. If you require assistance with this, please make a note when purchasing tickets or contact us at [email protected] and VEC staff will do their best to accommodate.
There are three multi-user, gender-inclusive bathrooms with stalls. One bathroom has a larger stall with its own sink and a grab bar (more details in the ‘Bathrooms’ section).
The Victoria Event Centre currently does not have an operational elevator, and there is one long flight of stairs at the venue entrance. The only way into the VEC is up 27 wood stairs, 11″ deep, 6″ high. There are wooden 2.5” handrails 38” up the wall on each side of the staircase (54” apart, so not graspable on both sides at once. See further details in the ‘Getting Inside’ section)

Inside the Victoria Event Centre there is a gender inclusive wheelchair accessible washroom that technically fits necessary size dimensions, but is missing a bar and a handrail beside the toilet.There are two stalls in the washroom, but only one of these has been renovated to meet 5'x5' wheelchair clearance.
