Carlos Acosta fans!
20 years ago this week Alberto Korda recognized as one of the great Cuban photographers of the Revolution, passed away. His most famous work is the portrait of Che Guevara, one of the most reproduced images in the history of photography.
A new documentary about rock band Blondie's recent visit to Cuba is set to make its debut at this year’s Sheffield Doc Fest.
On the eve of Cuba's very first national Day of Cuban Son music, 'Al Son del Caballero' a fabulous compilation of the best of Cuban contemporary dance bands is now available on various digital platforms. Thanks to Bis Music/Artex and son maestro, Adalberto Alvarez, who has led the campaign to celebrate the special day 8 May.
This May 8 Cuba will celebrate its first national Day of Cuban Son, in homage to this music-dance form and the musical legacy of its great exponents, Miguel Matamoros and Miguelito Cuní, who were both born around 8 May.
Carlos Acosta fans! Tickets go on sale today Tue 4 May for Carlos's live show 'on before' at Norwich Theatre Royal in July. A mini UK tour for July-August is announced!!
