December:Havana Good Time with Conner Gorry


AWH T’S ON

AHAVAN !Conner Gorry

Conner is one of the most insightful writers about Cuba she is the author of the blog, Here is Havana.

The Havana Good Time application is a must for visitors to Cuba providing comprehensive and up to date details of the best places to visit, eat, party, and shop.

The end of the year is sidling up (or the end of the world, depending on whom you ask); in Havana this translates into stellar cultural events, fake, flammable Christmas trees draped in twinkling lights, and lettucefor sale by the wheelbarrow. If you’re headed to this inimitable city, or are already here, you can make indelible travel memories at any one of these happenings, hand-picked by me, your resident author/culturevulture.

34 Festival del Nuevo Cine LatinoamericanoThe “Havana Film Fest” as it’s informally known, is always a good time, with movies shown at theaters citywide from 10am until ‘roundmidnight. There are a few Cuban films in competition and many LatinAmerican entrants, plus scores of movies from around the globe(these last don’t compete). Cubans are huge movie buffs, with some taking their annual vacation at this time to spend it in the cinema; if those sound like kindred spirits, I suggest you get a Festival Passport, which provides multiple entrances (and more manageable lines). The concerts (e.g. Fito Paez, Dec 5, Karl Marx Theater) and parties hosted during the Festival are legendary. Top tip: for star sightings, grab a mojito and kick back on a couch in the patio of the Hotel Nacional – de facto headquarters of the Festival.December 4-14

Play Ball!Cuban baseball is world renowned, but it has taken some punches recently: soccer is on the ascendancy (especially among the younger set); Havana’s second-tier team The Metropolitanos was summarily disbanded this year; and rule changes and a recess between January 31 and April 4 have fans up in arms. Still, day or night out at the “Colosodel Cerro” (Estadio Latinoamericano – Cuba’s biggest, holding 50,000)for an Industriales game is an opportunity to see baseball in a purerform, free of advertising and schmaltz. Top tip: Go for the cheaper bleacher seats to get into the local mix and bring something to sit on: the cement stands are hard on the nalgas.

December:Havana Good Time with Conner Gorry

Festival Internacional Jazz PlazaHavana’s Jazz Fest brings players from around the world and the “patio” (how Cubans refer to the island) to jam, improvise, rip, bop, and shred. This edition is shaping up to be a global party with players from Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Mozambique, Sweden and the United States– including the young trumpet phenom from San Francisco Will Magidand his quartet. Main venues include the Teatro Mella; Casa de Cultura Plaza; and Sala Tito Junco (Café Teatro Bertol Brecht). Top tip: Keepyour ears peeled for locations of late-night jams and don’t miss concerts by salsa giants Los Van Van and Pupy y Los Que Son Son. December 20-23

Dúo Buena FeThe strength of this group lies in their poignant lyrics, musical prowess, and the intelligence to put them together in a way palatable to both the powers that be and huge swaths of Cuban youth. This concert will be special since it’s being held at the historically significant and picturesque Escalinata de la Universidad de la Habana, and it’s free! Top tip: Expect huge crowds – if you want to get close, access from Calle L is your best bet; to hang back, sidle up from San Lázaro. The light will be good for this 5pm show: bring a camera.December 20

Peña de Pancho AmatThis monthly event by Cuba’s greatest living tres player and his group Cabildo del Son at the temporary digs of the Museo Nacional de la Música is one of my all-time favorite musical events and is not to be missed. Pancho Amat is not only a virtuoso player, he’s also a respected ethnomusicologist, and mentor to up-and-coming playerswho sit in with him at these gigs. Recommended for anyone interestedin traditional Cuban music. Top tip: Things can get loud in this intimate space – earplugs can be handy.December 20

Descemer BuenoWhat to say about this electric, charismatic Grammy-nominee that hasn’t already been said? The songwritingand lyricism, the infectious funk and jams Descemer and crew bring to the stage, and the duos with the cream of Cuba’s music crop (e.g. Baby Lores, Israel Rojas from Buena Fe) mean a guaranteed fun night out. This concert promises to be especially memorable since Descemer is filming his first DVD at the recentlyrenovated Sala Covarrubias of the Teatro Nacional. Top tip: Buy your tickets at the box office a few daysbefore as it’s likely this show will sell out.

Conceived as a tribute to Virgilio Piñera, key figure in Cuban theater, narrative and poetry, who was marginalized during the 70s due to his iconoclastic position and homosexuality, the play stands out for the outstanding performance of the protagonist, and the candor, humor and profound humanism which the great Cuban intellectual’s personality is dealt with.

AHAVAN !Dec 17, Pilgrimage to Rincón for the feast of San Lazaro by Victoria Alcalá

This is another side of Cuba far away from tropical beaches, vintage cars and Tropicana dancers. The Pilgrimage to Rincón for the feast of San Lázaro every December 17 is a reminder of the fusion of Afro Cuban Santeria with the Catholic church. This is based on the Lazarus parable in Luke 16:19-31 and combined with Babalú-Ayé, a deity of the Yoruba pantheon. There is an intensity and devotion apparent in many the pilgrims, which makes any visit a deeply moving one and gives visitors an insight into this part of the Cuban psyche.Read full articles

JUAN CARLOS ALOM’S CHRISTMAS SONGby Aimara Fernández

Juan Carlos Alom is quite possibly Cuba’s best contemporary photographer. This presentation byhim set to a beautiful Cuban song is about Christmas, about family and just how they so intrinsically intertwine in Cuba. This is not simply a collection of images but a beautiful story told with elegance, wit, style and a personal touch. Juan’swife Aimaira is there waiting, as well as his new born son, and hundreds of other images--the bride, the pregnant woman, the kid on the beach, the Ceiba tree…faces of Cuba which occasionallycollide, passing by, adding up, building a sense of what is Cuba away from the cliché and tourist pose…Simply brilliant.

Feria Internacional de ArtesaníaFIART 2012PABEXPODecember 7-23

Held as a way of expressing the identity and cultural diversity of different countries, the International Craft Fair has promoted arts and crafts attracting thousands of visitors each year. Lectures, exhibits, fashion shows, sales and the crafts themselves offer an opportunity for interaction and exchange between artists and the public. In its previous editions, the original treatment of contemporary design in handicrafts has been remarkable, in pieces which, without losing their ancestral nature, exhibit an undisputable touch of modernity, whether applied to textiles, fibres, leather, precious and semiprecious stones, metals, clay, or any other material ready to be fashioned and beautified through the sensitivity of craft artists.

AHAVAN !Ivan Chef Justo *****Aguacate 9, Esquina Chacon (53) 07 863 9697

There is only one problem with Ivan Chef Justo and that is I am never sure what to call it and you spend an age describing to people how to get there. Apart from that it is all good. Ivan is the chef and he has taken many of the best dishes from the excellent Havana Chef, (think rollitos de salmón (salmon rolls), costillas de cordero (lamb ribs), ensalada de pulpo (octopus salad) mushroom and cheese risotto, lamb shoulder and excellent soups. The place is fabulous, the service excellent. What more could you ask for (other than a map!).

http://www.cubaabsolutely.com/Havana_Guide/where_to_eat.php

In the last couple of years the Havana dining scene has been growing nonstop with more paladares, different cuisine options, innovative interior decors and interesting menus. Nevertheless, as much assome of the new (and old) options are an “UP,” many paladares have also shown some “DOWNS.” Herewe mention a few of the “ups” and “downs” found recently in the restaurants and bars of the city.

DOWNS:

Wine selection at Rio Mar: This is a handsome paladar in Miramar, in the area known as La Puntilla. It is located by the water,the view is great and the décor is gorgeous. Nevertheless this paladar has failed to deliver wine options for the drinkers looking for an unexpensive food-friendly red. In the last visits we have beenpresented not with a wine list but with an array of bottles with complicated labels from France, Spain, Argentina and Chile with prices ranging from 35 to 85 cucs per bottle. Come on! What about an unpretentious Villa Maipo or Santa Digna for the unpretentiousdrinkers?

The waitress’ attitude at La Carboncita: La Carboncita is one of the best pizza places in town, service is quick, food is delicious, prices are more than affordable and the owner is super kind and friendly to say the least. Unfortunately that friendliness is a characteristic that most of the female waiters at the place do not share. In the last visits they were unhelpful, dismissive and rude. One of them gave us a table with three chairs (while we were four) and never volunteered to bring a chair or look for one, and then demanded our order one


Elena'sup and downs

to dining outin Havana?

minute after handing us one menu for all of us… she looked quite unhappy when we asked for a couple of extraminutes and more menus. Anyway girls, the restaurant is already great, wouldn’t hurt to wear a smile once in a while! Get rid of that ‘tude.

The flies at Dr. Café: This is a real down and a real pity. The restaurant is far from spectacular in terms of its décor, but it is really great when it comes to its grilled entrees, such as the barbecue ribs, the beef filet, the chorizos (or sausages), plus other options such as the lobster, shrimp kebab and garlic shrimp just to name a few. The prices are good, the wine options are plenty but so are the flies… yes, the flies! If you choose the outdoor sitting option prepare yourself to be fighting against an army of flies through your meal. Mysuggestion for Doctor Café: more fans and more fumigating.

The fiddler at Chaplin’s: This fairly new paladar in Miramar has really good-looking indoor and outdoor sitting areas. The food options are good and the prices reasonable. Nevertheless the management has decided (I am sure with good intentions) to provide entertainment for the evening guests in form of a fiddler with a very limited repertoire. In one of the recent visits we listened to the same songs three to four times. Mysuggestion to the fiddler: increase your repertoire or take longer breakes.

UPS:

The mojito at Partenon: This has been an “up” since Javier Acosta (the owner) opened this paladar in Miramar almost two years ago. The mojito is a multi-sensory experience: it is not only beautiful to look at, it is refreashing, tasty and, given its size, challenging. Each mojito is made at the moment you order, so instead of pre-made mixes, you get fresh squeezed lime and mint “du jour.” I would not be afraid to say it is the best mojito in Havana and it is worth the trip to Partenon where one can also find some of the best food and service in town.

The oxtail at La Comercial: According to my dinning accomplices this could be one of the best keptsecrets in Havana. The oxtail in La Comercial is indeed a mouth-watering experience, a hearty stew with obvious hours of careful and skillful cooking behind it. The dish is served to your plate from beautiful antiquebowls and it is usually advisable to match it with a starchy side dish: mashed potatoes or white rice will do.

Bar stools at Casa Miglis: Named as the Best Paladar in Centro Havana by Cuba Absolutely, Casa Miglishas done many things right since its opening almost a year ago. The food is good, the prices are affordable, the service is fast and friendly, and the décor is fun, eclectic and modern. Nevertheless the barstools stand out: they are antique wooden dining room chairs suported by a rod that gives them appropiate height of a bar stool. They are fun and they are original. Stop for a drink and see them for your self!

Birthday brownie at Café Laurent: This “up” is a great example that it doesn’t take a lot to make a great impresion. Just recentlycelebrating a birthday with a group of friends in the beautiful CaféLaurent, the management volunteered a delicious brownie, on the house, with a candle and even brought the wait staff to join in the singing of “Felicidad” the traditional birthday song in Cuba. Mayseemed small, but it brought a lot of smiles to our table. And, I have to say that the brownie was delicious, we end up ordering more of those… so, even if it is not your birthday consider tasting this amazing dessert.
