Thursday Night ‘Ready to Rumba’ Flinders Lane

🔥 Ready to Rumba Pre-event Warm up

We have added a special treat to our Afrekete event! Kekoson will play for our pre-event warm-up party in Townsville for our Ready to Rumba live activation that most definitely will entice you to join us on a trip to Cuba!

You will also get some basics of Rumba by the maestros El Moro, Michel, Adrian and Christina – with live drumming by some talented local percussionists!!

Then dance the night away to Kekoson playing our favourite traditional Cuban ‘sones’ – all in an iconic venue in the middle of Townsville city that actually feels like the streets of Cuba…

Note this event is NOT INCLUDED in the Full Pass – and for good reason.
This night helps fund the festival you love. Real support to ensure that we can continue to give you the best possible experience over the weekend. This contribution greatly helps towards our artists fees and other costs.

So if Afrekete has moved you in some way…we urge you to pre-book your ticket, then show up and take the floor. Your support is greatly needed and valued.

Come as you are, after you finish work or arrive from the airport, dress up or dress down, this is the little extra gem that starts off our weekend with the town folk before our incredble main event over on Maggie!
