Jazzwise is pleased to announce its first readers tour to Cuba, which offers the finest Spanish-colonial heritage and architecture, Latin American culture, spectacular scenery and some of the friendliest people, whose passion for music and dance is legendary. In addition to concert halls and jazz clubs, many bars and restaurants have local groups steeped in the traditions of Cuban music that will appeal to lovers of Buena Vista Social Club.

This nine-day, seven night Cuba tour costs £1795 and includes return flights on the superb direct services of Virgin Atlantic from Gatwick, accommodation in three and four star hotels in Havana, Cienfuegos and Trinidad and some lunches and dinners. The sightseeing programme will also include several visits to jazz clubs and music bars and there will also be opportunities to perform with local groups or just relax and enjoy the music. The cost includes a donation to the Music Fund for Cuba.
