Havana Good Time with Conner Gorry<br />

Santiago Feliú<br />

It’s heartening that this celebrated singer-songwriter is back on stage<br />

regularly with a weekly gig at the Café Cantante. While the format is<br />

different from his usual original songs featuring poignant lyrics and<br />

rocking guitar and piano arrangements (this peña is <strong>de</strong>dicated to hit<br />

songs in Spanish from the 60s and 70s), Santi always puts on a good show.<br />

This is especially recommen<strong>de</strong>d for folks who speak Spanish and <strong>Cuba</strong>n<br />

Americans visiting the island who want to stroll down memory lane.<br />

Fridays,11pm.<br />

Go to church<br />

Old Havana has two majestic music venues which tend to slip un<strong>de</strong>r the<br />

radar. Luckily, February offers good opportunities to catch concerts at<br />

both the Basilica Menor <strong>de</strong> San Francisco <strong>de</strong> Asis and the Iglesia <strong>de</strong> San<br />

Francisco <strong>de</strong> Paula. First, there’s the Camerata Romeu, conducted by the<br />

legendary Zenaida Romeu at the Basilica Menor, February 16th at 6pm,<br />

followed by the baroque ensemble Ars Longa at the San Franscisco <strong>de</strong><br />

Paula on February 26th a 7pm. Either is guaranteed to inspire.<br />
