Remembering the Mamoncillo Tree

Recordando el Mamoncillo

Every second Sunday of July from the early 1960s until today Cubans and lovers of Cuban music have gathered in New York City for the Recordando el Mamoncillo Festival. Organized by el Club Cubano, "El Mamoncillo" is not just a dance, but an event that has maintained Cuban culture, particularly Afro-Cuban culture, and provided a way for Cuban families to reunite every year. Remembering the Mamoncillo takes views into this joyous event.
