  • MOA Journeys: Cuba 2014
    Thursday, 20 November Day 1 Arrive in Havana Arrive in Havana at Jose Marti International Airport. Meet your guide then transfer to your 4-star hotel in the heart of the old city. All transport within Cuba is by private deluxe motor coach. Upon arrival in the city, the vibrancy of the people is one of the first things you will notice. Also striking is the fact that, day or night, music can be heard and most evenings, somewhere in the city, people can be found dancing in the streets. The rich history of the island is apparent in the faces of the people. They are the descendants of the Spanish conquistadores who colonised the island in the sixteenth century and African slaves brought over to work on the tobacco and sugar plantations. Overnight in Havana. Meal plan: Tonight, you’ll enjoy a welcome dinner & cocktails*, meet your Adventures Abroad tour guide, mingle with the Museum of Anthropology representatives and members like you, and enjoy an introductory presentation by Without Masks curator, Orlando Hernández. *subject to flight schedules Friday, 21 November Day 2 Havana: Centre City Tour Cuba's cosmopolitan capital was once one of the world's most prosperous ports and the third most populous city in the Americas. As La Llave del Mundo (Key of the World), she saw riches from Mexico, Peru, and Manila pass through her sheltered harbour to Spain. Havana shows evidence of long neglect but her beauty shines through an amalgam of Spanish, African, colonial, communist, and capitalist influences. Today we have a tour of Old Havana, including a stroll down Prado Avenue, for many years Havana's most important and impressive avenue.

  • Music Production and Cultural Entrepreneurship in Today’S Havana: Elephants in the Room
    MUSIC PRODUCTION AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN TODAY’S HAVANA: ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM by Freddy Monasterio Barsó A thesis submitted to the Department of Cultural Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2018) Copyright ©Freddy Monasterio Barsó, 2018 Abstract Cultural production and entrepreneurship are two major components of today’s global economic system as well as important drivers of social development. Recently, Cuba has introduced substantial reforms to its socialist economic model of central planning in order to face a three-decade crisis triggered by the demise of the USSR. The transition to a new model, known as the “update,” has two main objectives: to make the state sector more efficient by granting more autonomy to its organizations; and to develop alternative economic actors (small private businesses, cooperatives) and self-employment. Cultural production and entrepreneurship have been largely absent from the debates and decentralization policies driving the “update” agenda. This is mainly due to culture’s strategic role in the ideological narrative of the ruling political leadership, aided by a dysfunctional, conservative cultural bureaucracy. The goal of this study is to highlight the potential of cultural production and entrepreneurship for socioeconomic development in the context of neoliberal globalization. While Cuba is attempting to advance an alternative socialist project, its high economic dependency makes the island vulnerable to the forces of global neoliberalism. This study focuses on Havana’s music sector, particularly on the initiatives, musicians and music professionals operating in the informal economy that has emerged as a consequence of major contradictions and legal gaps stemming from an outdated cultural policy and ambiguous regulation.

  • Hitos En El Tiempo
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Hitos en el tiempo Publicado: Domingo 12 noviembre 2006 | 11:17:10 pm. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Soy, y desconozco si la expresión es correcta, una suerte de obituario viviente. Llueva, truene o relampaguee no dejo de detenerme ante cuanta tarja, placa, busto o monumento encuentro a mi paso. Con algunos mantengo una complicidad especial, como con la cabeza del gran periodista cubano Manuel de la Cruz, emplazada en Prado y Neptuno. Cada vez que discurro por esa esquina, le digo: «Adiós, don Manuel», y creo que él me responde el saludo. Es un monumento poco afortunado. Una vez un vehículo salido de cauce lo hizo añicos. Lo recompusieron o restituyeron, no sé. Como el busto del autor de Cecilia Valdés, ubicado al fondo de la Iglesia del Ángel. Una tarde, en esas horas del diablo que son las que siguen al mediodía, lo bajaron de su pedestal con el ánimo de sustraerlo. Pero los vecinos, convocados a la voz de «¡Nos roban a Cirilo!», dieron caza a los ladrones. El gran caricaturista Juan David me dijo una vez que los monumentos servían para que la gente se olvidara de los personajes monumentados. Por suerte, el mundo no es tan dramático como lo pintan los humoristas. Un monumento no solo recuerda a determinada persona, sino que sirve para que esa persona, que en un momento alcanzó notoriedad, siga viviendo con esta entre nosotros. Sobre todo en esa estatuaria que humaniza al personaje, lo baja a ras de suelo y lo convierte en uno más de su entorno.

En este trabajo se hace un recorrido por obras de la escultura habanera, en especial, aquellas que Balcón.
