The program was the result of a rare partnership between the U.S. Embassy in Cuba and institutions from Cuba’s Ministry of Culture. Belly of the Beast spoke with the directors from both the U.S. and Cuban groups, who expressed the need for more U.S.-Cuba cultural contact despite ongoing political tensions between the two countries. #cuba #unitedstates #music #culture #exchange #symphony #vanderbilt #solidarity Sat, 09 May 2026 04:22:06 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/11cee872-57a4-4b30-b78a-1e2b0612e757 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
