This month, Havana certainly has it going on. An explosion of music, art, dance and video will hit the streets of this extraordinary city to celebrate the 20th international festival of urban dance, Old Havana City in Motion, La Huella de España, Tránsitos Habana, DVDanza and Los Días de la Danza. This is undoubtedly a unique chance to enjoy the music that is such an inherent part of this amazing city.
Right where Vedado meets Miramar, two of the most popular areas in Havana, there is a former oil factory that has now come back to life as an art laboratory, the ingenious idea of the singer X Alfonso. State-of-the-art culture, aesthetic diversity and spiritual enthusiasm are some of the shades of the artistic fusion provided every evening from Thursday to Sunday with the participation of over 500 young people. Catering for many tastes with many options! The centre has a projection room for small bands, literary presentations, performances, conferences and plays. It also has a library and exhibition space, and on the top floor, a dance area, theatre and cinema, a terrace for concerts, a room for digital art and even a place for massages.
Where in the month of February could you find a destination that combines culture, beaches, warm weather and good music? The only answer is Cuba… and if you really want to have fun, we recommend the Havana World Music Festival, returning this year on 6 and 7 February in Havana’s Metropolitan Park, with performances by some great Cuban and international bands. The guest performers will include the French DJ Philippe Cohen Solal, one of the members of Gotan Project, the multi-instrumentalist David Walters, from France, the Mexican Institute of Sound and the electrofolk project by Camilo Lara, one of the leading exponents of alternative music in Latin America
