Go see the Buena Vista Social Club, with the Compay Segundo band, at the Nacional Hotel every Saturday night. Great live music - living history. It's a musical must.
Also Folklorico (Cuban Folk Society) present Rumba Saturday every Saturday afternoon - a fest of rumba, samba and salsa music. Full of locals who dance readily at the drop of a hat or a beat of a bongo - Old and young alike.
