Discotheque to be converted into cabaret

MORÓN, November 7 (José Manuel Caraballo, APLA / www.cubanet.org) - Authorities in Ciego de Ávila province have decided to turn the La Cueva discotheque into a cabaret in an effort to prevent drug consumption, prostitution, and other social problems.

In another measure affecting the popular night spot, the disk jockey is now required to play 80 percent authorized Cuban music, and 20 percent foreign music that hasn’t been banned by the Ministry of Culture.

A La Cueva employee who asked not to be identified, said: "This is going to be horrible, because most of the youths like disco music. This is a decision of someone who is sitting behind a desk."

A customer, who gave his name as Pichi, said: "La Cueva is the most, but every time a place becomes popular, the envious ones mess it up."

La Cueva belongs to the Rumbos, S. A. corporation and caters to Ciego de Ávila youth.
