A Very Quick Competition: Havana Cultura Final Launch

Almost a month after the launch events in the North of England Havana Cultura is coming back to Manchester for the definitive launch of Havana Cultura website, a window on contemporary Cuban creativity. In October we were treated to salsa and Havana Rum mojitos at Cord and Odd bars in Northern Quarter, and today, 19th November, we will be back to Mint Lounge at 9pm, to celebrate in the company of Gilles Peterson himself. The event will last until 2am.

As the press release tells us,


The series of gigs in both Leeds and Manchester will culminate in a live gig by Gilles Peterson.  Peterson will play an original, eclectic set inspired by his time in Cuba.  He will be joined on stage by DJ Simbad, a renowned French DJ/producer.  DJ Simbad has a weekly radio show Late Night on Metrodance FM and is signed to Swedish pop label Raw Fusion. There will also be an exclusive performance by the Havana Cultura Band which has been especially created for the project by Gilles Peterson.  


Something certainly worth looking forward to.


There are two free tickets to be had, and if you have nothing planned for tonight, why not join the happy crowd who will be dancing to the Cuban rhythms?

All you need to do is to email your answer to the question below before 7pm, together with your full name, phone number, and whether you are going alone or with a friend (remember there are 2 tickets). Alternatively, send me a direct message on Twitter with the answer and the mentioned details. There will be an entirely random draw, and the winner will be announced before 7.30pm, so be quick!

And the question is......

Q. Name the author of the Nobel Prize winning novel, The Old Man and the Sea, that was inspired by Cuba.  

Although this is probably clear, I'll still mention that this is for Manchester based folk - unless you can travel into Manchester by 9pm. 

Update: I'm sure a lot of you knew the answer, which is Ernest Hemingway. And the pair of tickets has been assigned, so hopefully I'll see the winners tonight :-)
