Cuban Carnival of Havana 2010

In addition to the beautiful beaches and beautiful nature, Liberty Island invites its guests to participate in the annual Carnival in Havana in August. Thousands of people are looking forward to this holiday, in order to take part in the festive procession in costume with folk songs and dances. Cuban carnival twists in the dances not only professional actors participating in the carnival, but also ordinary people who join the general fun reigning on the streets of Havana. On the streets of Old Havana, the embankment of the Malecon, people are having fun, dancing salsa, rumba, conga to the “incendiary” Cuban music. Staying away from this holiday of life is simply not possible. Cute Cuban mulatto or Cuban macho will attract you to the atmosphere of the carnival. The Cuban Carnival combines Spanish, African and Chinese traditions. The traditions of this holiday have a long history. Carnival came after the end of the sugar cane harvest. At this time, slaveholders allowed their slaves to sing and dance to national music. During the celebration, slaves and slave owners sat at the same table and ate African, Spanish and Chinese cuisine together. Carnival in Havana kicks off other carnivals that take place throughout the island and end only at the end of September.
