La danza de los fugitivos (Dance of the fugitives) is a title that pays homage to the marronage of the Cuban colonial period. Most of them were uprooted from Africa, a continent to which Cuban culture owes its great rhythmic richness and danceable music. For that reason I attach importance to percussion on the bodies of the instruments. The preparation process to perform the beginning already makes an allegory of the maroons preparing their escape plan. It is like a toccata for string quartet where anxiety, agitation, as well as hope of fulfilling their dreams of achieving freedom are reflected.
