U LAKA LAKA LA - CARNAVAL LA HABANA 2003

2003 was the 180th year anniversary of Carnaval La Habana, a spectacular festival that incorporates an extrordinary array of Cuba's diverse cultural traditions. Parade groups known as comparsas, dominate carnaval, and are composed of a percussion section playing the conga rhythm, dancers in stunning costumes, and floats. Traditional groups, such as El Alacran (The Scorpion) have distinctive themes rooted in the cultural history of Cuba.
