How are community arts supported in Cuba? One way is through the system of hundreds of Casas de Cultura (local community arts centres) across the island which offer informal education and workshops from nursery level to university of the third age, with numerous festivals, competitions and other platforms - enabling access to all to create as well as consume arts and culture. Read the interview in English with vice-president of thr network of casas de culturas about the successes and challenges at https://cuba50.org
You can catch this film 'Soy Cubana' (2020) online now up to sunday 31 October as part of Africa in Motion film festival in the UK presented in partnership with Havana Glasgow Film Festival. The Vocal Vidas are an all-female a cappella group from Santiago de Cuba, the cradle of Afro-Cuban music. In 2017, they were invited to perform in the United States for the first time. The film tells their story of that experience.
"...listen with fresh ears to this tribute to the roots of Cuban dance music and discover that –  in the end – there is no substitute for great musicians playing great songs."
On 20 October each year Cuba celebrates their National Day of Culture ‘Jornada de la Cultura Cubana’. The day marks the anniversary of the first time the National Anthem was sung, near the beginning of the struggle for independence and to end slavery.
Catch a special screening on 29 October from 35mm film of the documentary ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the original album.
