Company Cuban Soho, the first of its style created in Cuba, celebrates its 15 years. These days also is happening the II Encounter of Dance and Music of the Middle West, an unusual event for many here. We want you to know what’s going to happened and participate in one of their presentations, workshops or discussion panels. You’ll end up liking it.
That’s only the start, but we have more. If you’re in Havana you could also enjoy the show Cuba vibra! by Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba. And in Music, if you’re in USA, you sure want to be amazed by Chucho Valdes or dance with Havana D’Primera. In Visual Arts, one expo in Pabellon Cuba. In Literature, we’ll celebrate the language day; and in FAC, surprises as always.
