Casino.com in Santiago de Cuba
Yanek Revilla's group: Casino.com performing under the Balcony at the Poder Popular in Parque Céspedes in Santiago, from which Fidel Castro gave his victory speech.
The performances were originally supposed to be in the center of the Parque Céspedes but it had been raining all day so they were moved under the balcony. Everyone crammed in and around the area in order to see the dozens of performances. The camera work is a little off as I jockeyed for position with the Cubans who had come to watch.
