Fresh after a night of ripping up the World Beat Stage at the Beaches Jazz Festival…

Changui Havana (they changed the spelling) is back at their de facto home base… Lula Lounge.

Saturday night, 10 pm, hot hot Cuban rhythm…

In years past at the Beaches Jazz festival, Cuban music has been represented… in both it’s dynamic current forms and the ossified shapshots of old style Cuban music… the latter preferred by most Latins… who became detached from the Cuban scene somewhere around the revolution.

All this stuff WAS mixed together at the stage called “Latin Square” in previous years…

BUT… a new stage has been added in 2012, “World Beat Stage”.  This stage is within a stone’s throw from the Boardwalk Cafe restaurant, just north of the volleyball area at the beach.

THAT’S where you go to hear modern Cuban dance music …  the WORLD BEAT STAGE…   you won’t find them at the Latin Square stage
