La anatomía del cero, by Spanish artist Jaime de Lara, exhibits pieces that, according to the artist, “thanks to fiction, absurdity and rhetoric, as if they were mathematical operations or equations, result in the same product. Thanks to this, they can be understood as anatomies of Zero. And Zero as a concept of infinite forms.”.

Exhibition by Cuban artist Alejandro Alexis García Núñez, pays homage to the Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte. Prior to the exhibition, the art gallery has organized a performance on August 15, at 5pm, while the exhibition proper will open on August 18, at 6pm. On August 21, at 2pm, the artist will offer a tour through his exhibition and a discussion on the life of Magritte.

KRAKEN Kraken is artist Ibrahim Miranda’s proposal, who for the critic Orlando Hernandez “is probably the only major mythical monster in Cuban art, which is full of domestic (or domesticated) animals and brightly colored fish swimming in their fishbowls. This is about the inhabitant of the oceanic darkness, a legitimate son of Triton, a Kraken, the gigantic squid of Norwegian mythology that every so often appears on the surface snorting and vomiting ink and blood to show us…the landscape that is under the luminous and confused surface of this island that we inhabit, to our joy or terror, to us, the drowned and the survivors.

RITA LONGA. CENTENARIO celebrates 105 years of the birth of one of the great figures of Cuban sculpture. Longa assumed the codes of modernity without giving up the fluid communication with the recipient. She is the author of emblematic pieces such as the Family Group at the entrance of the Zoo in Nuevo Vedado, the Virgen del Camino, the Ballerina at Tropicana and the Taino Village within the Guamá tourist center, in Zapata Swamps. The exhibition includes 29 pieces, from the first one she created to the one she completed on the year of her death. AUG 2017

Expo MS Atlantic presents works by the German photographer Heinrich Heidersberger, who travelled to Havana in 1954 as photographer of the cruiser that gives name to the exhibition. Snapshots of New York, where the trip began, of the passengers and the Caribbean islands included in the tour are all an exciting testimony of the time.

MUSIC

magazine

The contemporary fusion and electronic music scene has expanded recently as new bars and clubs have opened party promoters have organized events in parks and public spaces. To enjoy good live music there is, first and foremost, Fábrica de Arte Cubano (FAC), whose director, X Alfonso, is one of Cuba’s greatest composers and musicians. Every week at FAC (Thursday-Sunday, 8pm-3am), there are DJ sessions and presentations by soloists and groups that perform the latest trends in fusion music, especially in combination with jazz and rock.

CONTEMPORARY FUSION

Other good live music venues include El Sauce (check out the Sunday afternoon Máquina de la Melancolía) and the popular Salón Rosado de La Tropical featuring DJs and electronic music on Friday nights. Don Cangrejo always has good contemporary music, as well as Corner Café, Submarino Amarillo, Sarao’s Bar, Barbaram Pepito’s Bar, King Bar and Bar Melem, all featuring singers and acts in smaller more intimate venues.

UPCOMING EVENTS IN 2017

Habanarte is an event that involves the participation of hundreds of artists of all kinds: musicians, dancers, visual artists, actors... With special performances added to the usual cultural program in Havana, Habanarte aims to give a true picture of what is happening in Cuban culture today, from the traditional to the most innovative and avant-garde.

FESTIVAL NACIONAL METAL HG SEPTEMBER 14-17 Holguín This one-of-a-kind festival held in the eastern part of the country, promotes a space in which different generations of Cubans, who decades ago defended a music considered as “resistance music,” can exchange experiences with more recent bands under absolute freedom of expression and aesthetics.

A NEW MUST-SEE CUBAN FILM

El Techo [ The Roof ], the first film directed by Patricia Ramos—one of the very few Cuban women filmmakers who has been able to make a feature film—brings together a very young cast and crew. Yet their very youth is perhaps their best asset when making this film about three friends in Havana who, like many of their peers, take the plunge and open a small business on the roof of a house, from where pizza orders are brought down to the street by a rope. Andrea Doimeadiós—who is already creating a lot of talk in the theater and television world in Cuba—plays the role of Ana, who is pregnant and whose mother lives in Miami; She embarks in this new adventure in her life with two friends, whose roles are played by Emmanuel Galbán and Jonathan Navarro. On the roofs of Centro Habana, this film speaks not only of dreams and yearnings (success in business, emigration, future birth), but also of more earthly and everyday realities seen through the eyes of people who have recently left adolescence behind.

In the words of the director, she wanted to “avoid banalities and have a sincere and attractive visuality, a story narrated with simplicity and a certain subtlety, in contact with certain types of stories that are very common in the cinema of every country, about the arrival of adulthood, and about ordinary people…” The movie is not a masterpiece. Sometimes it can get a little repetitive. In addition, the director faced the challenge of filming in a very small space and with a small and inexperienced cast. It also revisits some topics that have been addressed on many occasions in Cuban art and literature. However, El Techo is a film that the viewer enjoys without great effort, it has aesthetic and conceptual proposals that are worthy of consideration, it refreshes the national screen with new young faces, and creates confidence in future endeavors by this young creative team.

IX FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE LA RUMBA CUBANA: LA RUTA DE LA RUMBA 2 01 7 A u gu st 17 -3 1

H a v a n a a n d e i g ht oth er pr ovin c es Created and organized by the international promoter of Cuban culture known as Timbalaye to delve into the patrimonial basis of rumba, the 9th International Cuban Rumba Festival: The Rumba Route 2017, will be dedicated to the Inscription of Rumba on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Rumba is one of the most authentic manifestations in Cuban culture. Widely popular and 100% Cuban, it was born as a process of hybridization of elements of different origins, in which the legacy of African cultures played a predominant role while it exhibited significant Spanish components. It emerged in Cuba in the late 19th century, and developed after the abolition of slavery. More than a music and dance representation, rumba is a way of life, a philosophy that contains a mystique connected to religions and affiliations. For the people in the neighborhoods and in the streets, rumba is suited to their lives, to their emotions. And this is what Timbalaye, a yoruba word that refers to feasible dreams and projects, is all about. Activities include shows, concerts, music and dance community projects, popular dance lessons by teachers and experts in Cuban folkloric dances, and much more.
