Hi there
In cuba, music is everywhere...
One of the first place to go is the house of culture where you have local bands playing almost every nights. You might be able to see some great names thre.
There are manny clubs too. Just ask around, people are very friendly and will let you know where to go and what to see.
La Habana is not a beautiful place (actually Cuba is not beautiful, this is my opinion of course) so don't bother visiting stuff. The only thing to see is the heart of old Habana which has a few historical places.
If you happen to be in old Habana, ask for Yor at the end of the main street going to the see. Their are some guys giving tours on horse carriages. He works there and he will show you around safely for nothing (except what you want to give him). This guy became a good friend, tell him Dominique sent you.
AND, when you go there, bring stuff to give away. CDs, diapers, cigarets etc.. will be much apreciated.
Have fun (I know you will)
