RUMBANANA
Welcome to the World of
RUMBANANA
We're a crazy bunch of people who love Cuban music and dance - especially Timba music, Casino dancing, and Rueda de Casino.
Rumbanana Casino Salsa Team makes its home in Corvallis, Oregon. It's our headquarters for all the wild mayhem we get into. We promote Cuban music and dance by shaking our a#$es off all over the world. Seriously, we love Cuban Salsa (Casino), Rueda de Casino and are totally addicted to Timba. UNA BULLA!
Founders: Mike Eskeldson & Simona Boucek Beattie
Rumbanana officially launched in Corvallis in the winter of 2006 after living and partying in Eugene, Oregon for several years. Our first appearance on the International scene was at Cuba Baila in Vancouver, B.C. (ah, the memories). Rumbanana has since performed, partied and taught workshops all over the U.S., Mexico and Europe.
