International Jazz Day in Havana on April 30, 2017
Plus: Other Items of Interest
INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY IN HAVANA, APRIL 30, 2017
April 30 is the 5th annual International Jazz Day, and Cuba is the host country for the All Star Global Concert this year! Actually, there is more or less a week of activities around this day, and more than 50 prominent artists from 14 countries (including, of course, Cuba) are participating. Best of all, the website http://jazzday.com/concert/ will be streaming a special concert live on the 30th. For a lot more information, visit the website just mentioned. The lineup is stunning, and this writer deeply regrets not being there in person.
New Website for the Instituto Cubano de la Música
The Instituto Cubano de la Música has an excellent new website, and even though they tell me that it is still a work in progress (what website isn't, really?), it already has a lot of useful information.
Check it out at http://dcubamusica.cult.cu/
