When most people think of Cuba, they tend to imagine fine cigars, lovely beaches and beautiful architecture. This Latin American nation is also known for its rich musical history: It is, after all, the birthplace of rhythms such as danzon, conga and rumba.
Last Saturday, a Malaysian audience managed to get up, close and personal with some of the nation's most famous music at From Malaysia To Cuba: A Bridge Of Music, a classical concert which took place at the Soka Gakkai Malaysia Cultural Hall in Kuala Lumpur. This concert, performed by the Selangor Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (SPYO), was held in conjunction with the The Republic of Cuba's 60th Anniversary and the National Day of Cuba. It was presented by the Cuban Embassy in Malaysia, Soka Gakkai Malaysia (SGM), SPYO, and the Friends of Cuba Association Malaysia.
