Cuban Holidays: Things You shoud See.

by on Apr.06, 2011, under cuba

Are you thinking about a holiday to Cuba? Here is one Caribbean island where you would not want to spend all your time on the beach. The people are extremely friendly and welcoming. The heritage of Cuba is so rich as are the monuments and palaces throughout the country. Cuban Holidays are without a doubt one to consider.

These are just some of the facts to consider and places and things you should not miss in your holidays to Cuba.

Driving: The island has a well-developed network of roads, with a main highway linking Pinar del Rio to Guantnamo, more than 1,120 km (700 miles) away, and several good coastal highways between the resorts. Driving is on the right. The rules follow Western European and North American norms and speed limits-50 kph (30 mph) in town, 90 kph (56 mph) on paved country highways, 100 kph (62 mph) on the Autopista Nacional.

Night life: There are some people who come to Cuba and never see it by the light of day. And still have a fine time. Even those who do not intend staying up all night and sleeping all day should enjoy one of the best sides of Cuban life and join the exuberant islanders in their singing, dancing and all-round party-going.

Cayo Largo: The key boasts no less than 26 km (16 miles) of fine white sandy beaches. The most popular is the sheltered Playa Sirena facing west. A pleasant bicycle ride away to the east, Playa Blanca and Playa Los Cocos are less crowded, while Playa Tortuga, further out, attracts turtles to lay their eggs in the sand.

Diving: At Havana, Marina Hemingway, 20km (12 miles) west of the city centre, provides good facilities and training courses for sCuba diving, as do most of the major resorts. Aficionados home in on Cayo Coco and MarIa La Gorda. For exploring underwater caves, try Varadero and Playa Girn. Both Varadero (through Cubancan Nautica near the Kawama hotel) and Havana’s Marina Hemingway rent out yachts for day trips or for overnight with lobster meals and drinks galore.

The list of places to visit and things to do goes on and on. The options are immeasurable for your holidays to Cuba. Stay tune to this article directory as there will be more useful information about Cuba coming soon.

A History of Cuban Music

by on Mar.29, 2011, under cuba

Since the 19th Century Cuban music has been a worldwide influence, and in the “world music” genre, it is perhaps the most popular. Its innovations have been felt in the likes of Jazz and Salsa, but also in the dances Tango and Flamenco. Buena Vista Social Club is the name most dropped in conversation about Cuban music, but this is to ignore the long and varied history that Cuban music has, dating back much further than the Buena Vista recording, and the sound of pre 1959 that it brought back.

The origins of Cuban music, and the instruments and dances associated with it, are found in Africa and Europe (Spanish), but there is evidence for a Chinese influence too. It arose from the coming together of Spaniards immigrants in Cuba who grew tobacco, and African slaves working on large sugar plantations. The polyrhythmic drumming that has also influenced the likes of Jazz and Salsa, was from the African side, while the guitar and melody formation was mainly from Spanish music. The notation and composing techniques of the music were also due to the European influence.

Manuel Saumell (1818 – 1870) was perhaps the most famous composer of the late 19th Century Cuba, and mainly because of his distinctive kind of dance music, taken from English Country Dance and French Contradance, but merged with a Cuban sound. Contrandanza was its name, and it was enjoyed across the world in the late 19th century.

But it was with the rise of a genre of music known as Son cubano that things really changed. Not only did this fusion of Spanish cancin and African rhythms come to have widespread acclaim, but it was also the beginning of African influenced music being taken seriously. At the turn of the 20th century, even the most progressive academics believed in some form of white superiority and so had previously seen the music of African origin as barbaric when compared with the European music of the time. With the rise of Son, however, Black musicians were able to earn a living and enter a market that was previously cut off to them.

Fast becoming the most popular music in Cuba, son music was also felt in other countries in derivative styles like Salsa. The 1959 revolution, however, disrupted the development of Cuba’s music, forcing many musicians out of their homes. In 1997, though, there was a gathering of Cuban musical legends called the Buena Vista Social Club that recorded a world famous album that brought the pre 1959 music of Cuba back into the world spotlight. Despite the attention Cuban music was once again receiving, there has been resentment from some of Cuba’s younger musicians who complain that the focus on pre-revolution music is ignoring some of the important musical achievements of the past 50 years.
