Havanaventures
Here is a poster for the film festival.
We ran into The Advocado at a salsa place called Casa De la Musica. Unfortunately, it was Regeaton night. MORE DADDY YANKEE! AH!. I’ve actually started to like it – I wonder if the Stockholm Syndrome applies to music.
It turns out The Advocado’s real name is Lothario. Hmmm. He gave us the low down on the romance situation, which I will refrain from discussing. Let’s just say Cuban girls are beautiful in a poor land. A gorgeous girl next to us gave a new meaning to hip shaking. She was with a guy and, while he was gone, I leaned over and asked if he was her novio. She said “mas o menos,” which means more or less, but Cubans drop the s’s on their words so it comes out “mao menoh.”
Watch Scarface again – Pacino was dead on with his accent.
