Cuba Fest 2013 in San Miguel

On May 30, 2000, Havana, Cuba and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico became sister cities.
This year, “Cuba Fest”, will be celebrating it’s 10th anniversary in San Miguel.
From March, 11th through the 17th  there will be performances by Cuban jazz pianist Roberto Carcassés, Arcadia Noguera and her band Colibrí, readings by Cuban poet, Waldo Leyva and the showing of Cuba’s very first Zombie movie,“Juan de los Muertos” (Juan of the Dead).  Don’t be afraid, it’s a comedy. Aren’t all Zombie movies?
Cuba Fest will pay musical tribute to Miguel Matamoros. Matomoras,  a Cuban singer/musician who died in 1971, made his first recording in 1928 and later went on to record for RCA records. He was a major influence in Cuba’s Son genre of music.
Along with all the fabulous music and cinematic entertainment (“Siete Dias en la Habana” and “Y Sin Embargo” will also be showing) there will be venders in the Jardin selling Cuban wares and most importantly…there will be Cuban food.
Events will also be held in the nearby towns of Celaya, Guanajuato, Dolores Hildago and Comenfort.
Most of the events in San Miguel will be an easy stroll from both Casa de la Noche and Casa Mañana.
