About Roberto Borrell:
bio from Roots of Timba Project
Roberto Borrell learned traditional and popular Afro-Cuban dance, percussion, and song from master musicians and dancers while growing up in la Havana Vieja, Havana, Cuba. He is a respected dancer and percussionist of Afro-Cuban Yoruba, Abakua (Calabar), Rumba, Arará (Dahony), and Palo (Congo). He also a master dancer and teacher of Cuban popular dance styles such as son montuno, danzón, and cha cha cha.
Mr. Borrell led the Afro-Cuban folkloric group Kubata in Cuba for 10 years before coming to the United States in 1980, where he founded a new company under the same name. Kubata, then based in New York City, performed Roberto’s productions for 10 years in many major East Coast venues, such as the Smithsonian, Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall.

Borrell danced in the front line of the Folklorico Nacional de Cuba for several years and, in major United States venues, has performed and recorded both as a dancer and percussionist, with legends such as Tito Puente, the Machete Ensemble, Chocolate Armenteros, “Cachao” Lopez, and Richard Egües.
Mr. Borrell was the co-founder, percussionist and musical co-director of the 11-member Orquesta la Moderna Tradición, one of the only ensembles in the United States that is dedicated to the performance of classic Cuban dance music: son, guaracha, cha cha cha, and especially the lilting grooves of the danzón.

As children, Luda Kroitor and Oliver Pineda (both 22) were paired up in a Lambada Club because they were the smallest in the class and they’ve been dancing together ever since. They won the 2001 IDO World Salsa Championship and have competed in DanceSport in Japan and London and are now both professionals.
Although they have had a breaks from each other in the past, they eventually got back together because, ‘it was just such a good partnership’ says Oliver, and, ‘we couldn’t find anybody better than each other’. Luda describes herself as a fiery dancer, which Oliver thinks goes well with his certain suaveness that comes out on the dance floor.
