Launch of talentocubano.net, which aims at promoting the Cuban underground music scene. The world knows that music is an essential ingredient of Cuban life, but lack of institutional support, infrastructure and internet keeps thousands of Cuban talents in anonymity.

That is especially the case with those who live and work in the province. That’s why a group of independent producers and artists from Havana decided to do a tour all over the Island documenting the work of talented musicians. They spent three months on the road. The result is talentocubano.net, a huge web database aiming to promote the Cuban underground music scene to the world.
The site will be launched at Mediamatic Bank on Thursday, the 4th of March at 8.30 pm.

So, if you want to taste real Cuba, want to listen to good Cuban hip-hop, rock, trova or experimental electronic music, or to make Cuban friends and drink Cuban rum with them feel free to join us.

Start: 20.30 Mediamatic Bank, Vijzelstraat 68, Amsterdam
Entrance free
