A Great Night Out In Havana.
You are about to discover one of the most dazzling places where to spend a brilliant night out in Havana in your Cuba holidays. The place is widely known as A Paradise Under the Stars and the name is Tropicana.
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.
Not only Tropicana is a place to enjoy the best of the Cuban music but it is also the nursery of the next generation of Cuban performers. The best dancing school in Cuba is located in Tropicana. Only the very best go to perform in the show.
With a great deal of history and tradition Tropicana has hosted stars such as the Great The great Nat King Cole and performer Carmen Miranda as well as many other renown artists of the American continent. Those were the 1950?s when Havana flourished as a great tourist destination especially for American tourists.
Those were years of great corruption and vice which spread out in the highest levels of the Cuban society. Tropicana was the centre of attraction for the wealthiest looking for some good fun. Prostitution and gambling were part of the menu.
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 Complex also has a restaurant on separate building but all mingles extraordinarily well in a jungle of tropical forest. The outdoor Cabaret has room for over 1000 people and it gets packed every night. A booking in advance is required to secure a seat.
Havana is full of excellent places where to spend a night out but nothing like Tropicana will remain in your mind as one of the best shows you have ever seen in your entire life.
