Thus you will have the opportunity to follow the claim to fame of these two protagonists, transporting you from the boxing gyms of the Cuban capital, to the cigar factories, where at night, the work tables are evacuated to welcome the sound of mambo, rumba, salsa and other kinds of so-called Afro-Cuban jazz tempos, performed by an eclectic troop of cosmopolitan artists.

Beyond the Cuban clichés that die hard, such as cigars, mojito cocktails, colonial architecture, along with the sublime old American cars adorned with gleaming chromes… It is certain that you will be instantly propelled into the humidity of the hot nights of Havana, immersed in the unique atmosphere of the famous Caribbean island!
