Cuba has always been characterised by the greatness of its musicians and the beauty of its compositions. Artists of the stature of the great Rita Montaner, our most beloved vedette, remembered forever with her Ay, Mama Ines.
Renowned composers such as the admirable Ernesto Lecuona with such sublime compositions as Damisela encantadora and Malagueña; and Gonzalo Roig with the unforgettable zarzuela Cecilia Valdés and his Quiéreme mucho. Also the famous pianist Chucho Valdés and the trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, are just some examples of what Cuban musical scenarios have contributed to the world.
To really experience Cuba means discovering its rhythms in every corner, dancing to the touch of drums and keyboards, enjoying the most romantic ballad and letting go with the best casino dance.
