We are now approaching the height of summer in Cuba and as always people are making vacation plans. Some want to rest and spend a few days in peace after a year of hard work. Younger ones want to have fun once school’s out for summer, to go back and take on the next school year with their batteries charged. So some of the articles in this edition are aimed at the nature-lovers while for for the younger audience we’re taking a look at a big Latin music party that’s coming up in Cuba and Canada. The popular group Charanga Latina and Canadian singer Étienne Drapeau will be playing a series of shows in both countries, a project that is sure to top the expectations of Latin music lovers. The CubaPlus team will be working on the next editions despite the vacations because the press like health professionals and service industry workers never rest, ever ready to meet the needs of those who need information. So when this edition goes to print your friends here at CubaPlus will already be working hard on the next edition to keep you informed about the Cuban reality, never missing a trick.
