I had a wonderful encounter at the Submarino Amarillo with several journalists and bands, including the legendary Cuban metal band ZEUS. I’m looking forward to going back in May. What I experienced was nothing like what I imagined. visit this beautiful island.

A special thanks to Michel Hernandez of the newspaper Granma and Bill Laswell for inspiring this trip. ”
