Throughout Santiago D.C., there is a mixture of famous, marquee music halls, and smaller, lesser-known venues. Located in central Santiago, just a block from Parque Céspedes, Casa de la Trova (House of the Ballad), is one of the more popular music halls.
One evening, I ventured to Casa de la Trova, with a French friend and a Cuban friend. The band was enjoyable; however, as the Festival del Caribe had ended the night before, there was not much of a turn out, in terms of the crowd. That said, as a drummer, listening to Cuban rhythms is always an entertaining activity.
Below are some assorted pictures from Santiago D.C. My personal favorite is the graffiti “Soy un tambor” (“I am a drum”) that I saw in a park near La Gran Piedra (The Big Rock), a popular attraction on the outskirts of the city. More to come…

Hi Jesse
Have you heard that Songlines World Music Magazine has just launched a guided music tour of Cuba.
The group meets in Havana, whizzes off to Baracoa, then slowly travels back to Havana stopping off at key cuban music locations including Santiago de Cuba, and Case Del La Trova. The guide for the tour is Philip Sweeney aclaimed author of 'The Rough Guide to Cuban Music', so you will be getting an inside guide to the music of Cuba.
If you want to find out more see Songlines Music Travel Cuban Music Tours. The tour covers travel expenses in Cuba only, so you need to arrange your own transportation to Havana and back.
Hope this is of interest to you.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about all the time.
