Letters from the Issue of February 8, 2007

We have fun. We dance under the stars — old folks, couples, kids, tourists — letting go, for blissful moments, the divisions, arrogance and chisme that can prevent neighbors from meeting neighbors. Ahh, to smoke a fine cigar, sip your cortadito, and feel the clave beat in your bones.

Suarez De Jesus doesn't realize that we still have rumbas here in Little Havana, plus spoken word poetry, plus creative fusions of the traditional with the avant-garde, the serious with the lighthearted. Little Havana has something for everyone.

I hope your readers will meet their Miami neighbors and check out Little Havana for themselves, perhaps starting with Viernes Culturales, on the last Friday evening of every month.
