The guests with hotter temperament joined her in the steps of the Cuban rhythms. The two spectacles in the City Concert Hall, scheduled December 21st and 22nd, will be a wonder world of samba, cha-cha, dancon, mambo, rumba and bolero, promised the Fidel Castro?s troup?s choreographer Barbaro Montanes.
