EVERYWHERE... Music may be as close to a universal language as the world can get... and in Cuba, where music seems to be everywhere, that “language” is not only alive and well but an essential part of the fabric of everyday life. In all its diverse forms – from salsa and son to rhumba and trova – Cuban music has given birth to many Latin-influenced musical styles that have spread all over the globe. You’ll find live music of all kinds played everywhere, from Havana to Holguín and all throughout the island… on city streets and in tiny villages, in clubs, in casas de la trova (local music houses where traditional guitar-based trova is played), for dance performances and in public squares. It’s the lifeblood of a musical culture that has traveled throughout the world. It’s infectious… it truly brings people together… and always, it really makes you want to get up and dance!
