Sabor cubano sign
Slowly but surely Cubans are building a community in Antigua. Here you see the sign for Sabor Cubano Restaurant (4a calle oriente #3A), one of the latest Cuban joints to open in Antigua. They have live Cuban music Thursdays thought Saturdays and I can testify that it is very good. You can also listen to Cuban music at Panza Verde with some of musician that belonged to Buena Vista Social Club. There is also QBA, a restaurant right acros from the Bodegona. South of la iglesia La Merced is Cubano, a small bar and Cuban cigar shop own by Vladimir, who also owns QBA. There is also Cuban music at Café No Sé. So there you have it, a short run down of the different places to enjoy the Cuban culture, cuisine and music.
As side note, it is interesting how fast the web moves. You can already see a listing of Sabor Cubano Restaurant on the Antigua section in the Wikitravel site.

[...] The Mesón Panza Verde is one the best Bed-n-Breakfast in Antigua. It houses a very fine restaurant, an art gallery and the hotel. I have mentioned Panza Verde on my entry about Sabor Cubano and Cuban music in Antigua. I found this review of PV’s Cuban music show at BlogJangles: “Friday night at Panza Verde, three members of the Buena Vista Social Club play by the bar. It was spectacular.” Needless to say, if you come to Antigua this is a cool place to hang out. Don’t forget to stop by and pet the cat. After all, he is the king of the house.

[...] These are the artists that make up the Sabor Cubano Band which plays live music at the restaurant by the same name. I already talked about the small, but loud and noticeable Cuban community which is building up in La Antigua Guatemala on May 27th (Now around 100 Cubans). The Cuban-style tunes played by this band can now be heard Wednesday through Sundays at the Sabor Cubano Restaurant from 9:00 p.m. until midnight. I believe this is one of the best deals in town, because, for the price of a delicious Cuban-cuisine dinner and a few mojitos or beers, you can enjoy a first-class concert. If you want to give yourself and idea of the sound of the Sabor Cubano Band, listen to Buena Vista Social Club or Lagrimas Negras by Bebo Valdés & Diego “El Cigala” (links to the iTunes Store). By the way, these two discs might become a noteworthy addition to your music collection. Tags: Antigua Daily Photo / Antigua / Guatemala / Sabor Cubano / Cuban Music [...]
