People from all over the world, young and old, have shown their interest in learning how to dance casino, a
Cuban ballroom dance that was born in the late 1950s and which was created anonymously within the urban
popular classes. The 6th World Meeting of Casino and Salsa Dancers and Dance Academies “Baila en
Cuba” will take place from 20-25 November 2011 at the Meliá Habana Hotel. The program includes
workshops on casino and other Cuban rhythms, such as rumba, cha-cha-cha and mambo; meeting of
dancers from participating academies; concerts with the principal Timba and Cuban popular music
orchestras; the launching of albums; and a meeting with musicians and performers. “Baila en Cuba,” or
“Dance in Cuba,” is the perfect space for individual and collective enjoyment.
Enjoy.

1 NOV 2011
Through 18 November / 2011
Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam
Exhibition of photographs and audiovisuals by
Chinese artist Yang Fudong, one of the most
important and sought-after creators in his
country. The catalog for his exhibition at the
Esteban Vicente Museum in Segovia, Spain,
says that “Fudong represents a generation of
Asian artists who are experiencing an oblique
change in the pattern of production and
development in their country…This is
important in order to understand the
conceptual evolvement of his work…the artist
makes use of film and video (very much in a
European vein) in his work to explore the vital
effects that a new generation of urban youth
experiences in a country that is constantly and
radically changing. For them, and, especially
for Fudong, the culture of the past…is
repositioned in a phantom-like manner in
today’s large neo-capitalist and ultratechnological
cities that grow like sunspots.”

Architecture
The making of Great Houses of Havana was a hugely rewarding experiences that allowed
me to draw on my professional experience and my Cuban roots to connect to the island,
generating great pride in these houses and the sophisticated Cuban culture that gave
birth to them. In this book I am presenting the human stories behind a century of
exceptional Havana houses, and I hope the reader is able to sense the excitement I felt on
entering a house I had ‘coveted’ for months and to feel my delight in serving as guide to life
inside. ...

One late afternoon in January 1961, as the story goes, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara
were having drinks at the bar of what had been the exclusive Country Club of Havana's
elite. They had just enjoyed a few rounds of golf on its well manicured course set within a
verdant environment and were pondering the future of this unique site for a new society in
which exclusive country clubs would be irrelevant. ...

A city can recover and restore not only its architecture, but also its everyday basic
essences. And Habana 1791 did just that. This beautiful perfume shop-cum-laboratory is
located in an 18th-century mansion at Mercaderes No. 156 on the corner of Obrapía in the
heart of Old Havana. The shop is easily recognizable from afar thanks to the fragrances
wafting from within. ...

I walked back from my afternoon classes feeling really relaxed, stepped out to the street
and walked past the first intersection; some guy passed me really close by, inside my
personal space, and whispered softly “linda” [beautiful]. I smiled to myself as I kept going.
He pushed a button on purpose by how he said it, and suddenly I was turned on. ...
THE tribute concert Aug. 12 for Fidel Castro’s 85th birthday, at the Karl Marx Theater in
Havana, was billed as the Serenata de la Fidelidad (the Serenade to Fidelity). In terms of
flat- footed plays on the name of Cuba’s maximum leader, I prefer “The Fideliad” — which
speaks to his epic, exhausting and endless run, which began in 1959...

Cinema
The film by director Ian Padrón tells the story of two boys — one rich, one poor — whose
neighborhoods and lifestyles starkly display the diverging wealth gap on the island, at a
time when communist authorities are introducing market-based reforms that allow for
more private businesses and property sales. The changes are likely to exacerbate the
rarely-acknowledged class differences that Fidel Castro’s 1959 Cuban Revolution
supposedly eliminated.

A PREVIEW OF THE COMING MONTHS
Festival Internacional del
Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano
2-12 December / 2011
Havana movie theatres and other venues in
several other provinces
Since 3 December 1979, Havana has been the
venue for the immensely popular New Latin
American International Film Festival. Millions
of film buffs across Cuba attend the event
which has served as a launch pad for Latin
American cinematography and become one of
the leading film festivals of the region. The
variety and creativity of films shown at the
Havana Film Festival every year has attracted
celebrities from the world over..
Festival Internacional Jazz Plaza
15 NOV 2011
15-18 December / 2011
Teatro Amadeo Roldán and other locations in
Havana
One of Havana’s most famous music events,
the Jazz Festival is a display of the link
between Cuban rhythm and jazz, which goes
back to the late 19th century when newly freed
slaves immigrated to New Orleans. Started in
1979 pretty much as a local event at the Casa
de la Cultura de Plaza, the International Jazz
Festival as grown in size and scope with
venues that include several large theatres and
nightclubs. International stars such as Dizzy
Gillespie, Charlie Haden, Steve Coleman,
Michel Legrand, Ivan Lins and Ronnie Scott
are just a few names in the list of past
participants, who, together with Cubans
Chucho Valdés, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Bobby
Carcassés and Ernán López-Nussa, to
mention just a few, attract fans from all over the
world.
Feria Internacional de
Artesanía FIART
8-18 December / 2011
Pabexpo, Havana
Held as a way of expressing the identity and
cultural diversity of different countries, this fair
has promoted arts and crafts attracting
thousands of visitors each year. Lectures,
exhibits, fashion shows, sales and the crafts
themselves offer an opportunity for interaction
and exchange between artists and the public.
In its 11 previous editions, the original
treatment of contemporary design in
handicrafts has been remarkable, in pieces
which, without losing their ancestral nature,
exhibit an undisputable touch of modernity,
whether applied to textiles, fibres, leather,
precious and semiprecious stones, metals,
clay, or any other material ready to be
fashioned and beautified through the
sensitivity of craft artists.
Charangas de Bejucal
December 24, 25 & 26 and January 1st
Bejucal, Province of Mayabeque
Like many other festivals of this type in Cuba,
the charangas (popular son-influenced Cuban
music that began in the 1940s emphasizing
flute, violin and piano orchestra) are related to
Christmas celebrations, when white Catholics
and black slaves would take to the streets with
their musical instruments to pay tribute to their
deities. Eventually, they divided into two
groups: La Musicanga, which gathered the
criollos (freed blacks and slaves); and Los
Malayos (representing the Spaniards). Thanks
to the fusion of cultures that characterizes
Cuban identity, racial and class differences
were lost with time, and belonging to one or
another side was simply determined by each
person’s preference. Rivalry between both
sides today - now named La Ceiba de Plata
and La Espina de Oro - consists in the ability to
construct the most colourful and striking floats.
The traditional music of the orchestra Los
Tambores de Bejucal accompanies this
festivity now attended not only by the
inhabitants of the town, 20 km south of
Havana, but by hundreds of visitors who enjoy
the fantasy and creativity of designers,
engineers, painters, musicians,
choreographers, and dancers whose talent
guarantees the vitality of one of the oldest
popular celebrations in Cuba.

Parrandas de Remedios
16 NOV 2011
Remedios, Province of Villa Clara
24 December / 2011
Legend has it that during the 1820s, a young
priest officiating in Remedios—the eighth town
founded by the Spaniards in Cuba—decided to
have a group of children make a noise with
whatever they had to hand in an effort to
awaken lazy parishioners to attend mass in the
chilly mornings of 24th December. From then
on, neighbours would go out into the streets on
the nights prior to Christmas for music and
merrymaking. From 1871, a competition or
“parranda” between two neighbourhoods—El
Carmen and San Salvador—took place, each
with its own hymn, colours, kites and lanterns.
In 1875, complicated floats lit by flares and
fireworks were paraded by each side at the
town’s Plaza de Armas (town square). To this
day, the two neighbourhoods continue with a
rivalry characterized by the beauty and
originality of these floats, as well as by the
amazing pyrotechnics that from 9 pm on 24th
December to dawn on 25th December,
illuminate the city sky. Both sides keep their
floats secret from each other during the course
of the year with even members of the same
family on either side of the fence sworn to
secrecy against each other. Although these
festivities have spread to other nearby
localities of Guayos and Camajuaní, the
Parrandas de Remedios are the oldest and
most well known on the island.
