JAZZ

Nightlife in Cuba, especially Havana, is a intoxiciating mixture of warm breezes from the ocean, casual dining and drinking amidst whiffs of cigars and noticeable fragrances of Cuban women all accompanied by the ever present music of Cuba. Music in Cuba is a blend of the Spanish guitar and African drums.

Jazz is also popular in Cuba. While Cuban jazz has never enjoyed the prestige and accomplishment of jazz in major USA cities, jazz in Cuba is becoming more popular. If jazz is your "thing", popular jazz clubs in Havana are El Gato Tuerto and La Zorra y El Cuervo. Both clubs are near Hotel Nacional. There is also a jazz club on the third floor in the Galeria just East of Hotel Riviera and Melia Cohiba on El Malecon.
