most girls took it over now i've thought of us as we are. people including both the most insecure. what's a big. box of us. to believe but. i've been invited to play a mambo because it's a year after most of our mambo and my friends have invited me to play with them.

i thought oh no i'm going to go no no if you're this bell ringing and a lot of girl lock. down the welcome to the queue i'm sarah lewis an exactly one year ago i was here standing on the square singing dancing. playing in my corner with the musicians of

the haven't a lyceum orchestra. for. sure. 7 it's a very different cuba than it was one year ago because of the pandemic but i'm really looking forward to seeing my cuban position friends and family a provider and finding out how they have spent this last year i.

i you know that obama has really closed down when you see that have on his most famous barbershop. the city has a completely different feeling on the streets than the last time i was here but nothing can ruin my joy with my horn on my back i'm on the way to rehearse with my beloved have orchestra in their home a beautiful old cuban church called san felipe in old havana. it's very emotional for me because it's the 1st time i will see them in a year and i have been dying to celebrate the success of our project with them. throughout.

her. there. might. already. it's so nice to be a. memory memory then very peppy the conductor of the orchestra rise in style for the rehearsal. i have a present for you yeah it was very heavy in my suitcase but we have for everybody. a cd. and. we were number one in germany number one in england number one in the us in the classical charts it's amazing really amazing so you can look you can look later and

think so. i think. we're rehearsing a horn concerto by mozart far up coming concept no one knows yet if we'll be able to play the concert because it's a coronavirus restrictions but we have to be ready just in case. our are.

well you know whether most i remember and in love with danny i don't even know if you know how get us out and i knew enough and be more waiting when we got than feel they're there but i thought one thought i was asking them was he got to be gone but the end then once he got. there meant no money but then think if i thought now for 2.

months i am no better or you are. the fantasy i'm pretty. young and fit for what i see that's not. how it's have been a for you with no music on the street do you enjoy it as a musician to have silence or do you miss the live music i want when i feel like it the which i could be as is only your a talent that if you go on then i know you they've been thrown bussy off and then there'll be a 2nd. after the rehearsal i wanted to hear more about how my cuban musician friends have spent this past year all the restaurants and cafes are closed so i invited view. the

player. and concertmaster have yet continued to my rented apartment in havana for a cathy she took. everything. to see you my there's this to be everywhere. for cubans music is like how they bring you know it's necessary for the life. i mean we need it too but i have a feeling cuba is very special if it is in your bodies you need to dance you need to sing you need to feel a how did you feel in this time where you couldn't play it doesn't seem only to progress and good luck in a fight. but i was going like a joke amongst the i mean you can also look them a lot before you had to. take on baby and i want to look at where the one might really look i mean they're not coming up like they don't and don't say the same when i say most people can see it to be saying that's what i meant the daughter

meant to know something we look at this. was. amazing you know. i had no live music yet here in havana so i asked her here if you would maybe play something for me up here so at least we hear something live you think one of the one paleface nothingness and then i can. come and sam in front of us or comes along. and then i'm on. the side. and.

members of the orchestra have told me that for them the new normal is getting up early to stand in food lines until the rehearsal start at 2 pm every day they are absolutely exhausted by the time they start to harass. one of the biggest differences i've noticed here and up on the autumn lines there are lines everywhere the cubans call it luck or law they stand in line all day long for sometimes they don't know what is in the shops the main thing is to stand in a line because that was something you can buy it's very well organized it may not look it but usually they know who the last person is in the line and who's the next person they're all wearing masks you have to wear a mosque outside here and how mamma but i don't see much social distancing going on . the mall.

was. married in the room. same room the same right over here you know cuban schools are all closed because of the pandemic but at the home of junia. the charismatic saxophone star of mozart the mambo music teaching continues. was one of the sort of what. 2 2 2 i was longing to play some cuban mambo again so i invited junia and 2 other mozart the members stars olivia at all that he gets and alexandra i agree up to a spontaneous jam session up on the roof of my apartment. a or home.

i am. thinking. that.

we have a few days off from or harassing and we don't even know if we'll be able to continue because of the restrictions so i decided that although i love mambo it's time i learned about some other cuban don says pick a union and i settle for the beautiful porch town of motown sus which is about one and a half hours from havana and much more peaceful my tom says is not only pepys hometown it is also the home of the don song. don't we go on. i.

thought. first of all they wanted to show us the best view of the city up at the at a meter to month. this bell. ring the bell with you for the mambo for the song for all the cuban music. yeah for the right we did together gather. what i mean come on. when you went in the. form of the. noise and. came on to see you so i didn't time. we had it

he moved on with no time with. me and go but i. said. so. and. their advice. time from my 1st cuban rumba. he. sings with the whoops famous group moon you keep close to my tongue and gives us a spontaneous rumble performance a tome with members of her family. but

when i go. out them i think. you know that gate at 11 am like to the sand that i don't back. and the so be that but i'm out and i am in so i will. make god they are in the way i mean either but then again. they make a more of the bully don't my. game and with which i gave my

elemental and which are lesser than being able to handle but in the interview i want to know you have you here lately this is only. their. land. and to say good f.c.s. we played some of our. own no no no no. no no no no ok. ok. i. got.

from a number one and us house to done some in the sala white with pepe's mother the dumb son is the national dance of cuba and to understand it you have to dance it i was amazed at how differ. and it is to dance the dance song compared to the other cuban dances like mambo and it felt positively stately and best of all you don't sweat as much while dancing it.

yeah. the. last we had in mind that there were now though. they write that down song you know i have. my band set off and that is all i know you know i mean you know started almost. the 1st dance song ever written was premiered here in the sala white house in a chord chart that. surprised me with an impromptu performance of the piece.

in. the. good imo good in able to go on i don't want him to lunch on a modern set all of the most elegant mumbled i'm being. so morgan that other not i and some of them are also into with an implicit authority km but then the moment i get invited to play a mambo because it's a year after most of the mambo and my friends the prospects for my town's us have

invited me to play with them i can hardly read music but we're going to try. ok quanto says pick $13.00 up out there oh.

i'm. full of mambo rumba and don song we left my chances to go back to have vanna where we found out that our concert had been cancelled due to the coronavirus we needed something to cheer ourselves up. ok ok. i mean maybe it's very excited now the plan is to show my wonderful friends the film that we made the documentary film a cuban journey with tiny mammals and most of them haven't seen it yet because it's online but it's quite hard to get online from here and it takes a lot of data on your own so we're really excited to watch that and just to relive

what's on the mantle instead of playing on the 20 member concert at this time we're going to try and relive it by watching. we thought at the moment that the same one not to say that i asked. for that out ak come over but i don't have a better and why then does anyone know music i'd prefer them or need the. most out of my own boy them in going to sonia and when no frantically know how i'm going to special moment then yank everyone on my side leave their 3 give out on my sandwich afraid to hold up wait another month any more dui in a convent i say to be on that. it's

wonderful to be on the havana rooftop in the winter sun i've really enjoyed being back here but it has been sad to see the difficulties people are facing here right now but the positivity of my cuban musician friends always shines through and today i even saw a little sign of hope the 1st live street music i have seen here on this trip enjoy and prone to.
