Lumbre en 10/8 (Fire in 10/8) was a musical project promoted by Zuuk and the percussionist Kátsica Mayoral with collaborations from artists like Cosmonautas Teatro de Sombras, Natalhi Vázquez and Miranda Amatista.
Fire in 10/8
shares a journey
of a map folding
where notes, rhythms and melodies,
from different latitudes,
from different moments
both strange and familiar
touch
Like all species, music also migrates: we affect each other, we transmute. And sometimes, in two different places in the world, at two different moments in History, two beings create the same song.
Lumbre (fire) is a stove where you cook, eat. It is a bonfire where we gather and tell stories. And it is a portal to acknowledge and heal ourselves. Without music or dance, this is not our revolution

A fusion between: Lamma Bada Yatathanna, a muwaššaha (Andalusian Arabic poem -southern Spain-) of the late 9th century; and la Negra Tomasa, a 1987 Cuban song by the composer Guillermo Rodríguez Fiffe.
