Verano en Jibacoa 2013

The antecedent to Verano en Jibacoa can be traced back to the Rotilla festival, an alternative project, which due to a controversial and much questioned decision, was replaced by this event, which brings together musicians of various genres. The festival, which takes place by the sea, is very popular with the young generations of Cubans.

For three days and three nights, there will be non-stop music and dance by the sea with Djs Iván Lejardi, Alejandro Nuñez, Reitt, Diemen Duff, Denis Ever, Richi Pellicer, OBI, Dairon Cardona, The Vazz Brother’s and Thellus, rap, reggae, rock and pop bands and soloists, such as Dejà Vu, David and Ernesto Blanco, Qva Libre, Karamba and Triángulo Oscuro.
