The last event I attended at Artes de Cuba was Tiempo Libre performing a free concert on May 20, 2018. The two events I did not attend were Argos Teatro's autobiograpgical peice called "10 MIllion" and the great Arturo O'Farrill & the Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble.

Tiempo Libre one of the few Cuban bands in the US who are a good timba band. I had not seen them for a number of years, but they still generate a high energy performance and fill the dance floor.

















I thoroughly enjoyed the four days I attended Artes de Cuba. It was amazing given the political climate in the US that this event actually happened. The one criticism I have of the event is that there were no rumba and folkoric groups, which I believe was a serious omission. In spite of this Artes de Cuba displayed how vibrant and creative Cuban culture is.
