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 Cuban Communist Party is gathering this weekend in Havana to talk about reforms,
