You will be transported to the world of Cuba, with its colors, its lights, the dances, the songs, the music and the incredible professionalism of 42 tireless artists who, all in one breath, without interruptions, accompanied by an exceptional live band led by by a splendid singer.Cuba has always played a leading role in the field of music: it is here that some of the most beautiful genres were born such as son (one of the fathers of all Cuban rhythms), mambo and above all salsa, a truly national rhythm, which is danced practically at any time of the day.

And it is precisely through music, dance, singing and circus that this show takes shape with artists selected from the best in Cuba for a two-hour show suitable for the whole family.The show is hosted by an eclectic clown who transforms into a juggler even Michael Jackson, just to amuse the audience, involve the spectators and to give the prop makers, often aided by the artists themselves, the opportunity to assemble platforms showing a great solidarity among all the performers who in perfect timing and harmony assemble trapezoids, ladders and everything needed for performances in the air.The costumes are dazzling, from the pirates who invade the dance floor, to the white and gold uniforms, to the sinuous dancers who compete in human pyramids.Muscles, smiles, love, joy, companionship and beauty come together in a seductive show that, for an afternoon or a night, ..will take you far away….
