  • The Fiesta del Tambor Guillermo Barreto in Memoriam pays tribute to one of the cult figures of Cuban percussion: Guillermo Barreto, star of the Tropicana orchestra in the 1950s and founding member of the Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna. While young talents measure their skills during the competition, experts disclose the secrets of the complex Cuban percussion at theoretical meetings, lectures and guest speeches and the evenings are dedicated to the performances of popular national and international bands and soloists.  Havana, Cuba

    Music Festivals

  • Master classes and workshops reveal the secrets of the complicated world of Cuban percussion while every evening the best of Cuban and foreign bands and soloists perform jazz and folklore, accompanied by dancers and even comparsas and casino dancing contests in the Guillermo Barreto Drum Festival.  Havana, Cuba

    Music Festivals

  • The festival revolved on different genres and styles that work from the roots but aim to reach a wide audience. Therefore, alternative music, which merges popular genres like rock, reggae, salsa or electronic music, was predominant in the Havana World Music Festival.  Havana, Cuba

    Music Festivals

  • We cannot thank Leo Brower enough for his contribution to Cuban culture. Not only for his work—possibly the most extensive and solid of all time of any Cuban composer—but also for the time he has devoted to cultural projects including organizing what I consider to be the most important concert music festivals in Cuba over many years–the Leo Brouwer Music Festival.  Havana, Cuba

    Music Festivals

  • Eme Alfonso said that “the focus of HWM is to give the Cuban people the chance to become acquainted with the musical diversity of Cuba and the world, as well as to encourage exchanges among international and Cuban bands. This can be very beneficial to the musicians, producers and musical promoters in our country.”   Havana, Cuba
