In Cuba, there's a spectacular place where you can enjoy excellent dance shows and live music. A cabaret that has everything planned for the audience to enjoy themselves to the fullest. Food service and luxurious performances where the fantasy of the lights and the artists' brilliant costumes will warm your heart.
I'm talking about Cabaret Tropicana, opened to the public in 1939 and internationally renowned. It has an open-air main hall, which is why it's called "A Paradise Under the Stars." It is considered the best cabaret in the Americas. Its performances showcase the most legitimate expressions of Cuban cabaret.
I only knew this place from magazines and television programs. Famous Cuban announcers and artists showcase their talents as presenters, singers, reciters, dancers, and musicians on this important stage. Visitors from all continents come here, curious about the magic to be experienced there.
I was recently invited to celebrate the success of a business meeting.
Upon arrival, I was amazed by its large mirrors and lights. From the entrance, you are lost in a fantasy world of lights, mirrors, lamps, and costumes on display. In the roofed rooms that are the anteroom to the cabaret under the stars, you can find sculptures of dancers, luxurious costumes, masks, lamps, and fans, all exuding beauty.
Upon entering the main hall, you find a stage in the middle of a large semicircle with tables and chairs, where the audience sits very close to the performers. But right there, other stages emerge above the trees, combined with cascading fountains and lights. The enormous costumes resemble lamps, fruit bowls, or flying plants.
To your great surprise, you see beautiful women high above, dressed in enormous costumes full of feathers, glitter, high crowns, and heels. Even with so much costume, which must be a bit heavy, they dance skillfully. Illuminated trees with large signs identify the place.
There, you can enjoy good dancing, romantic songs, and poetry. They dance rumba, casino, and chacha. They take a journey through Cuban musical history. The stars of the night are undoubtedly the dancers, dressed as swans, lanterns, and tropical fruits. Live music makes your heart flutter and get you dancing.
They also offer high-quality food and delicious drinks. It's a beautiful and joyful place. Several television programs, whether musicals, dramas, or even movies, have been filmed there. A dreamy place that is part of Cuba's musical heritage. It exudes joy, complicity, and a desire to have a good time.Between light and shadow, a fantasy is created that makes you feel like you're in a true paradise.
That day I visited, I was part of a delegation, so they dedicated the show to us. That way, I was able to dance on stage with my colleagues and the professional artists.
It was a magical night that exceeded my expectations. I invite you to attend; it's in Marianao, Cuba. I'll give you the exact location. Take care of yourselves and dance at Tropicana.
