NYC Cuban Culture Meetup

"Cuba bella, el son, la rumba
y mi cabecita de algodón.
Y es que el canto, yo lo llevo por dentro."
(Celia Cruz)

Cuba's gifts to the world include: el mambo, el chachachá, Celia Cruz, Ernesto Lecuona, Orishas, Cachao, Beny Moré, La Yi Yi Yi, Reinaldo Arenas, Achy Obejas, Rita Montaner, Ana Mendieta, Wilfredo Lam, mojitos, arroz con pollo, Havana cigars, el Tocororo, Varadero, Santería, la charada china, Maria la O, and, of course, José Martí. Join us as we celebrate these and the many, many other fruits of our Cuban mosaic.

This Meetup is open to Cuba-philes of all backgrounds. Please also contact me if you you would like to assist in these regular celebrations of Cuban culture!

Sinceramente,
Guillermo

    "Hola to everyone...I went to Cuba in 2006 to study music. I fell in love with the country, and I would love to keep learning about it!"

  • "Hi Aimee. We practically have the same name!!! I am glad I can meet people in this group who left Cuba many years ago. I was raised in Cuba and left the country when I was 26. I wonder how you lived your childhood here in the USA. Our experiences might be different, but we certainly share a common cultural background!"
