Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio, known for his startlingly naturalistic depiction of religious figures, a
master of chiaroscuro and an influential figure in Baroque art, heads the exhibition of Italian paintings with his
masterpiece “Narcissus at the Fountain” plus 12 other works of his followers. “Narcissus” is the last painting
of the second stage of the artist in which he depicts the beautiful youth in Greek mythology who fell in love
with his reflection. The painting, which is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Ancient Art of the
Barberini Palace in Rome, will be on exhibition at the Universal Building of the National Museum of Fine Arts
until 27 November.
Enjoy.

Twenty-five miles outside Havana along the coastal highway, the sleepy fishing village of
Guanabo sits beside perfect sandy beaches, warm water and ideal bodysurfing waves.
Cows graze on the nearby hillside, and anyone foolish enough to be out in the heat sits
under the shade of a tree. An old rickety locomotive hoots as it chugs along the bottom of
the field, and boyish British architect and Coral Capital COO Stephen Purvis points
excitedly to the tracks. “The golf course will end near those tracks”, he says and then looks

While in Cuba this past July, I had the pleasure of seeing the all-female group, Obini Bata,
perform at Havana’s Yoruba Cultural Association. Obini means “woman” in the Yoruba
language of Nigeria, and Bata is the name given to the hourglass-shaped drums that
accompany Yoruba dance and song. The culture of Bata drumming originates with
Africans who were brought to Cuba as slaves. However, women have historically have

Things are pretty tense around here. And it doesn’t help that Hurricane Irene is heading
towards Port-au-Prince as I write this. When it’s threatening this close, we swing into

A PREVIEW OF THE COMING MONTHS
XI Salón y Coloquio de Arte Digital
Baila en Cuba
14 OCT 2011
8-11 November
Centro Cultural Pablo de la Torriente Brau, La
Habana Vieja
This International Digital Art Salon was held for
the first time in 1999 with the aim of offering “a
space to exhibit and reflect upon” a new form of
artistic creation which explores the potential
that new technologies offer in creating art. It
began with the participation of some thirty
Cuban artists, eventually becoming a
rendezvous of digital artists, designers and
photographers from dozens of countries,
different ages and varied aesthetic views.
20-25 November
Hotel Melia Habana, Hotel Comodoro and Salón
Rosado de la Tropical, Havana
The 6th World Meeting of Casino and Salsa
Dancers and Dance Academies includes
dance lessons, guest speeches, short courses
and choreography workshops, as well as
performances by the best bands in the country.
Festival Internacional de Coros
Sala de Conciertos Dolores, Santiago de Cuba
city
30 November-4 December
It was in the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba
where the first known choir pieces in the Island
were composed by Havana-born composer
Esteban Salas (1725-1803), who for years was
chapel master. Honouring this tradition, in
1961 Electo Silva, who has been for decades
director of Orfeón Santiago, organized the First
Choir Festival. Throughout the years, choral
groups from different countries have also
participated in the festival together with their
Cuban counterparts, winners at prestigious
international competitions. An intensive
program of concerts in theatres, schools,
factories, hospitals and public squares
characterizes these days in which audiences
can enjoy the best of the repertoires of choral
music.
Semana del Autor
16-19 November
Casa de las Américas
Continuing a tradition that began more than 40
years ago, Casa de las Américas will organize
this annual meeting focusing on a prominent
figure of Latin American letters, as has been
the case of Argentinean Ricardo Piglia,
Nicaraguan Ernesto Cardenal, Brazilian
Rubem Fonseca and Chilean Pedro Lemebel.
Taller de Invierno Danza en el Caribe
20-26 November
Aparthotel Las Terrazas, Havana
Workshop organized by the Caribbean Dance
Company in which participants take classes
about Cuban dance techniques, ballet basics,
salsa, folklore, popular Cuban and Latino

Proposed by five-time Grammy winner Chucho
Valdés in 1998, this competition for young jazz
singers and composers from 16 to 30 years of
age has had contestants who today rank
among the most outstanding in the musical
panorama of the Island.
