A few Cuban bands are touring Down Under. I am going to see Havana Rakatan tomorrow. Buena Vista guys are here as well.

My father went to see that Buena Vista group last month. He said they were really good and that I would've liked their music.

Report on the Rakatan show. First class entertainment from a group of wonderful talented young Cubanos.

I recognized some of those Cugat record covers from my aunt who just passed 80 years old. I wonder if she still has the LPs?

Too bad we can't see them here in the States. They say travel to Cuba is slowly loosening up here, so maybe there's hope. Ever since seeing Buena Vista Social Club I've been dying to hear more classic Cuban music.

Spanish music is similar, listen to the album "El Senoir Bing", Bing's great versions of Spanish hits, and his hits sung in Spanish.
