Classical composers such as Samuel and Cervantes invented Danzas and Contradanzas that with syncopation laid the foundation for "Danzon, Rumba, Ragtime, Salsa and Latin Jazz."Live music can be heard and danced to impromptu on almost every corner. We recommend you visit the spectacular reinvention of Fabrica de Arte Cubano in Vedado to experience the creative Cuban juices first hand.StreetSmart Havana is updated yearly and most current.

It may be the only city on the continent to boast three thriving Chinese communities speaking different languages and forming distinct communities: These include the descendants of Chinese immigrant workers who built the trans Canada railroads in the 1880s - 5th and 6th generation Canadians, the Hong Kong ren who left Hong Kong before the handover to China in the late 1990 - who brought class, money and sophisticated cuisine - and the nouveau rich Mandarin billionaires - the most recent arrivals - who seem to prefer orange Lamborghinis. As a result the culinary offerings stretch from $3.00 street food in Richmond - check out North America's biggest night market - to Bird Nest & Seafood Soup at Kirin for $130 on Alberni St. These days the lingua franca heard in the streets is Mandarin. Vancouver is rightfully known as the most sophisticated Asian food city in North America.StreetSmart Vancouver A local Vancouver arts impresario commented on our map cover as a perfect commentary on the most fundamental issue facing BC: who owns the land.
