Tamara

Tamara is a spectacular vibraphone player. She is in her early twenties and is extraordinarily accomplished. She and a group of young musicians were playing with a jazz trio of elderly musicians one night at La Zorro y El Cuervo in Vedado. This is a traditional jazz cellar frequented by local musicians and music lovers. The mix of ages and skills was wonderful. One could almost see the torch being passed from one generation to the next. The Cuban people are by their nature attracted to the arts. It provides some respite from the difficulties of day to day life and is just plain fun for all.
