Class Act: Burnaby youth ready to groove in Cuba

A Burnaby Grade 5 student is ready to groove in Santiago de Cuba next month with Vancouver’s School of Groove, a school devoted to the music and rhythm of Cuba, Brazil, Mexico and West Africa. Griffin Ford will be in Cuba March 16 to 27 for the International Pepe Sanchez Trova Festival. The trip is a cultural exchange but will also provide the Canadian group with a chance to donate much-needed supplies and musical instruments to schools in Cuba.
