Cafe Cantante: Salsa Dancing in Havana

by Natalllya

This place was a truly Cuban experience.The live band played for a good 4-5 hours, all 12 of them! They were unbelievably synchronized and melodic as they all played instruments, sang AND danced!The colourful mix of local Cubans gives this underground bar an authentic feel. So does the overflow of mojitos and Cristal beer.The cover is $10 USD...I should say used to be $10 USD, the use of the American Dollar is now prohibited and the use of convertable Pesos is now in effect. No half tops for girls.Dress comftorably but nice.

La Zorra y El Cuervo: Cuban Jazz

by wrasdell

A great place for jazz in Havana. With its location below street level and cozy atmosphere I'm reminded of the Village Vangaurd.Except here you can still enjoy your Series D #4 with some hot Jazz and a cool Mojito. Cover charge is $10.00 and includes 2 Mojitos. Clothing is required.

Trinidad!: Best nightlife?

by AnjaV

For sure Trinidad has the best nightlife of Cuba.A number of 4 open bars on walking distance from eachother, with daily life music, mixed audience Cubans and tourists, dancing salsa's or romantic boleros, chilling with a glass of rum or a mojito .... yes, for sure ... Trinidad is the place to go Whatever ;)

Havanna

by Arc86

By the way. About your comment about the "young proud communists" there.That was one of many things I was totally surprised about:The young Cubans seemed to be more pro-USA and capitalist like than in any other country I've visited so far in Latin America. For example they attach much importance to have branded clothes. They also like to hear a lot more American and European music than I thought. Salsa can almost only be found yet in "casas de musica", kind of expensive restaurants with live bands for tourists.This kind of music is very famous now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRMldyDNnlYReggaeton mixed with some elements of salsa..called Cubaton. This band is named "Gente de Zona". Beside techno, rock and pop this resounded all the time. Since my holidays I really love this music.Sometimes it seemed to me like changes had already came to Cuba, and the country is already in a more...

casa de la musica: casa de la musica in centro: hookers & pickpockets

by tomcarlson

well, there's a serious push to get in the door, complete with dudes who are trying to pick your pocket in the press of people. there's real cordial about it and all, and easy to put off, but beware! once you manage to wrangle a ticket and push your way in, it's your average college-level scene, with the exception of the innumerable hookers floating around. we went under the auspices of seeing some live music and were greeted, upon entry, with a magic show, followed by a dance contest. apparently, the casa de la musica in miramar (the beach one, i believe) is better... or worse, depending on what you're looking for. OH! and if you're into getting hookers, the local rule in havana is one CUC for every year you have. so, if you're 25 years old, don't pay more than CUC 25 for that girl or guy... EVEN if they're asking for more! not sure if there's a dress code... i'd guess that you need...

Casa de la trova: Salsa live

by rsudic

Every city has "Casa de la trova", place to listen salsa music, to dance salsa with cubans, to drink good coctail, to pay coctail to your dancer if he/she is cuban.It's always live music with band and you'll be offered new CD (usually 10 CUC = 8 EUR). List of songs is almost the same from any band I listened (10 bands total; my friend took them all). No dress code

Santiago de Cuba: Outdoor nightlife

by mandiebambi

Santiago de Cuba has the best live music i have ever heard, people gather in the square young and old together listening to bands playing all night. The waether is stunning (warmer than Havana as its lower down the country) Its is also very safe at night time there are always police around but the Cubans are just such happy people there is never any trouble. You can wear whatever you like its outdoors and very warm

Bailamos!

by Alicja1

Ah, the nightlife in Cuba ... it's legendary. There's just magic in the night. Something about the trade winds, the people, the sights, the smells, the sounds, ... it all makes for a truly unique place and experience. The Cubans, irregardless of their economic conditions, have never lost their passion for partying. People dancing on the streets, music is everywhere! That was experience i was really looking forward to, and i wasnt dissapointed! More about nightlife on each destinaton tip!

Just some tips about nightlife in Cuba

by russian_yaz

Many people will advice about this club or the other one, how much is the entrance fee...etc, etc, etc...But the problem is that most cubans can´t afford 5 cuc or more just to get into a club. And supposing that they have saved for a several days to get into one, then they will not have too much to spend inside. Of course in the discos and nightclubs U'll always find cubans, but they are the minority, trust me, I know what is like to feel that other people stare at U like if U where some kind of rare thing only because U don't have 1 buck to spend.So, my advice is mainly about feel the music in the streets, in the small bars. In every corner of the country U'll find someone playing a guitar or just banging with his or her hands on any surface to find the music hidden on the air. There are lot of small bars wher U can seat with lot of cubans and share with them a great evening without the...
