The title of one of the songs we heard last night at the Nefertiti concert in Gothenburg (In Cuba meaning “hey buddy, what´s going on”) LILY D OVIEDO Y SU SONORA CLASICA Really first class Cuban Salsa!
Afterwards music by DJ “La Gallina” Ann Marie. Her selection always makes your legs move towards the dance floor!
Canon Powershot S-100 at 3200 iso.. it works for the web!
Los Sitios. La Habana. Muy cerca de la casa de Amaury! Havana. Close to Amaurys home!
If you don´t move yourself you´ll die! A cuban saying meaning exactly that! Centro Habana 2008
Could have been almost anywhere in the world but this one happened in Havana. Wonder what they where talking about?
This is a low resolution fragment of my 36 min long slide show De Cayo Hueso a Rio Miel about Cuba. The blog have now passed 10 000 clicks
Hope you keep coming back.. I am enjoying big time!
If you feel like a different sightseeing tour in Havana I would recommend you to put out your hand when a “Botero” passes by!
This is a collective taxi, almost always an old US made prerevolutionary wreck that runs along a fixed route. The price is next to nothing but the experience can be worth a lot.
The Boteros are not supposed to pick up tourists but they do anyway!!
Chen is selling herbs, beans and rice at the central market in Marianao, Havana. As many Cubans he talks a lot. He is a big fan of AC Milan so that’s one of the main themes in his conversations with clients and colleagues! Nice guy!
Calle Maloja, Sitios, Havana.
New year celebration in Havana 2006.
A big part of the city’s inhabitants gathered in Malecon to enjoy great music and dance all night long. Spirit is high. The Cubans knows how to party but things can get carried away sometimes.
The government seems terrified of disorder and therefore displays huge numbers of
military, police and other security officials to maintain a sense of safety and control.
Now.. I am sure this particular security guard (whatever that bottle contains?) is doing his best but….
An old man and his “compañero” walking the streets of Guanabacoa, Havana at nightfall!
