Destination
SALSA IN CUBA
When you think of salsa in Cuba the image of hot balmy nights, intoxicating Salsa rhythms, unforgettable live music and excitement capture you, its becomes addictive…but its not just an image, this is real, this is Cuba, the place born to dance Salsa.
The mix of pulsating salsa rhythms burst from the streets lined with elegant buildings, faded grandeur, now crumbling with age, untouched for decades . American Cadillac’s cruise down the famous Malecon in their vibrant colours which hides the real age of these cars left with the Revolution.
Jazz and Son music spill from small bodegas while a game of dominoes in the street fetches quite a crowd, this isn’t just a game, dominoes is serious business!
The streets are a bamboozling mix of live music, laughter and roaring car engines while the old man with peanuts walks the streets shouting ‘Mani, Mani’ .
The allure of this captivating city makes you yearn for more and there is no better way to find it than to experience the sultry nights made for dancing Salsa under the stars in Havana…
You would be forgiven for thinking you were in the middle of a 1950’s film set but no, this is Cuba, the most unique and intoxicating city on the planet!
