On the street in Havana you hear the young people greet each other with the phrase, "Que Bola?" this is equivalent to our US slang phrase "What's up?" This Cuba photo blog is morphing into my general blog with a wider scope of photos and commentary.This will enable me to keep my website clean and still have space to babble.

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.
