Founded in 2005 by the distinguished Jos\u00e9 Carri\u00f3n, a former principal dancer with Ballet Folkl\u00f3rico Cutumba, TFC has evolved into a cultural beacon in the Pacific Northwest. Since its inception, TFC has graced various stages, including prominent events like Folklife and the World Rhythm Festival. The ensemble&#8217;s performances are a dynamic fusion of dance, rhythmic percussion, and soulful singing, offering audiences an authentic journey into Cuban folklore. The heart of TFC is shaped by Jos\u00e9 and his family: his son Yoanis, who dedicated 20 years as a percussionist with Cutumba; Teno, a rising star in dance; and his sister Liana, deeply rooted in these traditions throughout her life. The group is further enriched by the contributions of local artists such as Arturo Rodriguez and Danny Mendoza, as well as the exceptional Cuban dancer, Takechi Ruiz.     <\/span><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6986&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Section&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1700696387110-ad9bdb03-f3b4&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<b>Destiny V\u00e1squez (Per\u00fa)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Destiny Vasquez is a former member of the Afro-Peruvian dance group &#8220;Africandela&#8221;.
