Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

HOT HOT HAVANA CANCELLED
The revue scheduled for the Saenger and part of the city's "Cuba Week" has been cancelled. It seems that the Cuban performers have not been allowed visas (click here for afrocubaweb's report on that) by the U.S. That's a real shame. Aside from the whole issue of our government's silly policies, it really serves to deprive Mobile of a truly spectacular cultural event. If you are ever fortunate enough to see the Tropicana in Havana you will never forget it. I didn't see the show until my fifth trip there, being resistent to paying $80 for a show in a country where that is a not insignificant amount of money. But I gave in the last time and it it was just splendid. Talk about full employment. Here is an open-air cabaret with hundreds of performers all set in the sultry atmospshere that is Cuban sensuality.
