Chispa y Sus Complices

What better thing to do on the first full day in Havana than head to a matinee at Casa de La Musica, Miramar? Although it was only Chispa, and I was never a huge fan of theirs we went $5 in hand to explore the offerings for the day.
They were a true cliche in Cuban male fashion- gold, slashed jeans, skinny tops with moved to make a woman weep. I can’t say that I was blown away by the music but the atmosphere was fantastic and there were enough Cubans to get a good dancing fix early on. Didn’t get any pics at this early stage in the trip (besides, the management are a bit funny about pics) but check out the vid below for an idea of who they are.
Remember- if you go to CDM, take the stickiest shoes you own, or you’ll spend the whole time clenching your toes inside your shoes for fear of diving onto your behind!
