Women's
rap concert in Cuba a first
HAVANA, December 8 (www.cubanet.org) -
A concert featuring women rap performers
will be the first of its kind in Cuba. It
will be held December 17 at the Covarrubias
Hall of the National Theatre, under the
title Proven Presence.
Performers kicking off the event at 5:00
p.m. include the groups Esencia (Essence),
Oye Habana (Listen Havana), Maryoris, Las
positivas (The Positive Ones), and Las crudas
(The Raw Ones).
"None of these female groups are included
in the Cuban rap catalog," said a source
close to the concert, adding that organizers
still expect a sell-out.
The Cuban rap catalog was created December
17 last year to promote Cuban rap performers
in international markets.
