Cunamacué’s work centers on the creation and presentation of original Afro-Peruvian dance and music, alongside free and low-cost community-based education. 



Performance Creation and Presentation: Cunamacué produces original dance theater works such as “Huellas” and “Altares”, integrating Afro-Peruvian rhythms, rituals, and contemporary choreography. We regularly present work at festivals, theaters, libraries, and community spaces across the Bay Area.



Festivals and Community Gatherings: Cunamacué produces Afro-Peruvian Fest, the only Afro-Peruvian cultural festival in the Bay Area, as well as Cajón-centered concerts, workshops, and community celebrations that highlight Afro-Peruvian music as a living tradition.



Education and Intergenerational Programs: We offer free Family Shows, Family Dance Classes, Cajón Circles, and school residencies in Title 1 schools, introducing youth and families to Afro-Peruvian history, instruments, and dance through assemblies, workshops, and study guides.

Film and Cultural Documentation: Cunamacué produces dance documentaries such as “Herencia de un Pueblo”, “Barrer”, and “Son de los Diablos”, and publishes research-based articles that contribute to Afro-Peruvian dance scholarship and cultural preservation.
