The Greatest Cuban Show.

By Mr Jose Mauricio Maurette

Known as a Paradise Under The Stars, Tropicana Cabaret in Havana has been for many years the number one choice when it comes to night life in Havana. Your visit to Havana will be certainly missing a great ingredient for a spicy Cuba holidays.

Tropicana?s Show is recognised by many as a great spectacle, featuring a variety of the very best of the Afro-Cuban rhythms such as Son, Guaracha, Mambo, Guaguanco, Timba, Rumba and of course the well known Salsa around the World.

The best contemporary music dancers in Cuba train in - what is considered by most in Cuba - the best dancing and performance school. There is no need to say that you are certainly will be delighted by their display.

With a great deal of history and tradition Tropicana has hosted stars such as the Great The great Nat King Cole and performer Carmen Miranda as well as many other renown artists of the American continent. Those were the 1950?s when Havana flourished as a great tourist destination especially for American tourists.

In the 1950?s Tropicana was the centre of the social life for the wealthiest and richest in Cuba. There was also a great deal of corruption, prostitution and gambling going on behind its doors.

Things have certainly change after the revolution led by Fidel Castro which overthrew Batista in 1959. There is no more gambling in allowed in Cuba and Tropicana is not an exception.

The area where the Cabaret is set up is rather vast. This outdoors Cabaret has room for over 1000 people and it features well over 100 artists including singers, dancers and circus performers.

There are other places in Havana for a good night out but nothing will ever be as spectacular and colourful as this show. Tropicana will certainly stick in your head and will leave you with some pleasant memories of your holidays in Cuba.
