A Spicy Night Out in Havana


By Mr Jose Mauricio Maurette

Known as a Paradise Under The Stars, Tropicana Cabaret in Havana has been for many years the number one choice when it comes to night life in Havana. Your visit to Havana will be certainly missing a great ingredient for a spicy Cuba holidays.

Tropicana is located in Havana in the municipality of Marianao towards the west end. This outdoors Cabaret features the very best of the Cuban music which has evolved one of the best dancing music in the world. Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Bolero, Guaracha, Timba and Salsa rhythms are played every evening.

This amazing Cabaret also takes pride in having the best popular dancing school in Cuba. Needless to say you will be up to one hell of a treat for your eyes.

Tropicana opened its doors more than half a century ago and it has hosted the best performers in the American continent such as Nat King Cole, Carmen Miranda, Cheo Feliciano and Bola de Nieve.

In the 1950?s Tropicana was the centre of the social life for the wealthiest and richest in Cuba. There was also a great deal of corruption, prostitution and gambling going on behind its doors.

Unfortunately for some in 1959 a revolution led by Fidel Castro put an end to whatever resembled the previous regime and with it all the gambling and prostitution was officially made illegal by law. As a result what used to be a Casino in Tropicana today is a nice and cosy Piano Bar.

The area where the Cabaret is set up is rather vast. This outdoors Cabaret has room for over 1000 people and it features well over 100 artists including singers, dancers and circus performers.

There are other places in Havana for a good night out but nothing will ever be as spectacular and colourful as this show. Tropicana will certainly stick in your head and will leave you with some pleasant memories of your holidays in Cuba.
