On 21 October, in London, the Cuban Embassy, with the support of the Campaign for Solidarity with Cuba (CSC), hosted an unforgettable gala in celebration of Cuban Culture Day. Entitled ‘Cuban Mosaic: A Night of Identity and Resilience,’ the event brought together Cuban artists and friends of the island in the United Kingdom to offer a broad and exciting sample of our music, dance and poetry.

The history and power of Cuban music have once again conquered the world. Once again, the Buena Vista Social Club is the inspiration for a story about one of the legendary groups of Cuban musicians who cultivated Son Cubano in the 1930s-1950s, some of whom reunited in 1996. Since then, their recordings and international performances have transcended with a Grammy Award and an Oscar nomination for the film Buena Vista Social Club.
