Harlem Havana 2016

The Harlem Havana Music & Cultural Festival is at venues in Harlem and across metropolitan New York City from August 14-21, 2016.

Cuban culture is central to Latin culture. Cuba is where African, Spanish, and Native American culture first mixed into something we now call Latin. Salsa is Cuban music popularized by New York Puerto Ricans before going global in the 1970s.
