2nd International Harley<br />
Davidson Rally: Havana to<br />
Vara<strong>de</strong>ro<br />
8-11 February 2013<br />
www.harlistascubanos.com1<br />
February 2012 saw the first<br />
‘international’ rally with over 50<br />
Harlistas making there way to<br />
Vara<strong>de</strong>ro… This offered a fascinating<br />
portrait not just of Harley culture in<br />
<strong>Cuba</strong> (and believe me, the <strong>Cuba</strong>n<br />
Harlistas are ‘loco’ for their bikes) but<br />
also to alternative culture in <strong>Cuba</strong><br />
more generally and how concepts<br />
translate in <strong>Cuba</strong> (As in all things<br />
<strong>Cuba</strong>n there is a lot of invention,<br />
complications, gossip and outright<br />
fun!). The highlight for me has to be<br />
<strong>Cuba</strong>’s ol<strong>de</strong>st Harlista, 102 years old<br />
Jose Julio Garcia who explains how<br />
he caught the ‘Harley Bug’.<br />
FESTIVAL DEL<br />
MONÓLOGO CUBANO<br />
February<br />
Teatro Tomás Terry, Cienfuegos<br />
province<br />
Sponsored by the Tomas Terry Theatre in<br />
Cienfuegos, this Monologue Festival was launched in<br />
2003 with the aim of validating a genre, which by<br />
nature <strong>de</strong>mands intense commitment of playwrights<br />
as well as actors. Despite being one of the newer<br />
events in the domestic cultural scene, this festival has<br />
already achieved a standing in the <strong>Cuba</strong>n stage, and at<br />
present the most renowned <strong>Cuba</strong>n playwrights,<br />
directors, actors and actresses compete in the<br />
beautiful Terry Theatre.<br />
Festival Arañando la<br />
Nostalgia<br />
February<br />
City of Holguín<br />
This festival of romantic music, which is especially<br />
<strong>de</strong>dicated to the music of the 1960s, hopes to<br />
promote soloists and bands, and draw together the<br />
many followers of romantic music in <strong>Cuba</strong>.<br />
