La ultima rumba de papa Montero (1991)
La última rumba de Papá Montero is a 1992 Cuban film directed by Octavio Cortázar. The film focuses on a contemporary documentary production company that is attempting to create a non-fiction feature about Papa Montero, a 1930's rumbero who was murdered during Havana's carnival celebrations. The film uses flashback sequences to recreate Papa Montero's celebrated dance and his disastrous involvement in a fatal love triangle. The film features rumba-inspired dance sequences performed in the streets of Havana by El Conjunto Folklorico Nacional de Cuba.

Batuque, the Soul of a People (2006)
In 1462, the first African slaves were settled on the island of Cape Verde brought by the Portuguese colons. It is supposed that they were the first inhabitants of the archipelagos. They carried with them the rhythms and the seeds of what became the BATUQUE: a music form, performed mostly by women, both singers and dancers. The singers, repeat very strong lyrics, sitting in a circle and beating the rhythms with their hands on a piece of cloth between their legs. While one woman performs a very sensual dance with her hips in the middle of the circle. During the colonial era, it has been strongly forbidden but it remained alive in clandestinity. The group Raiz de Tambarina, one of the oldest groups of Batuque on Santiago island, is composed of ordinary people, saleswomen, fish merchants, drivers... Through their every day life and performances we discover Cape Verde today and their passion for the Batuque.
