CAST
She is the mulatto woman that curses the Solaz. Sixta, an arrogant black woman, as her noble African race demands of her, will never forgive the Solaz for having taken her son away from her. “THROUGH MY VEINS RUNS THE BLOOD OF AFRICAN KINGS AND THOSE WHO DARE HUMILLIATE ME HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE GROWND!”
The bastard mulatto product of the sinful relations of the master with a black woman named Sixta Lucumi. From his mother he has inherited the nobility and pride and his trips around the world turned him into a poet, musician, and a fair man. “MY BLOOD IS NEITHER BLACK NOR WHITE…I’M THE SON OF THE EARTH THAT KEEPS THE MUSIC AND FLAVOR OF SUGAR CANE AT ITS CORE”
