Music in Cuba

Cuba has the most amazing music. Everywhere you go in Cuba, music is playing. It has all sorts of influences, Spanish guitar, African beats. In all of the towns of Cuba people gather in the market squares and halls, people bring their whole families, parents, aunties, uncles, children, grandma, grandpa and listen to live music. In Bayamo, we heard a guitar player who was so incredible it made my hair stand on end. Hannah has a recording on her phone, but in the meantime for a taste of Cuban music, here is the ​Buena vista social club.
