The story

Havana World Music in Havana

Havana World Music, running since its 2014 debut at the Jose Antonio Hecheverria Social Circle, curates reggae, salsa, electronic music and rock into a single alternative-music program featuring acts including Van Van, Sintesis, X Alfonso and international guests such as the Mexican Institute of Sound and Fuel Fandango, staged mainly at Havana's Metropolitan Park with connections to the influential Fabrica de Arte Cubano.

Havana World Music held its first edition at the Jose Antonio Hecheverria Social Circle in Vedado, growing since 2014 into a festival built specifically around originality and authenticity in alternative music, deliberately grouping genres including reggae, salsa, electronic music and rock rather than presenting a single-genre program.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This festival's explicit curatorial premise, seeking originality and authenticity in alternative music rather than a single national or traditional genre, groups reggae, electronic music, rock and Cuban fusion into one program, a documented cross-genre format distinct from Cuba's traditional-music or single-genre festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Its connection to Fabrica de Arte Cubano, the influential arts venue founded by X Alfonso in 2014 that extends hours until dawn during major festivals, gives it access to one of Havana's most significant contemporary cultural spaces alongside its Metropolitan Park outdoor setting
