2. Listen to music at El Jelengue de Areito
Also known as the Patio Areito or the Patio EGREM, this small but authentic music venue belongs to the inauspicious recording studios of the country’s most renowned record label, EGREM. A patio bar leads into a rather plain performance room where a different band or soloist play every evening. Expect anything from
trova and
son to rumba and hip-hop.
El Jelengue de Areito, San Miguel no.410 e/ Campanario y Lealtad, Centro Habana. Tel: 862 0673.3. The most stylish of things to do in Havana: take a vintage car tour
