Many of Cuba's important painters, writers and musicians
were born in Matanzas. More than a century ago, thanks to the genius of
Miguel Faílde, the people of this city had the privilege of dancing the
first danzón, a popular rhythm with a gentle cadence and diverse keys
that stemmed from the habanera and is a ballroom dance for partners.
Matanzas, which saw the birth of literary gatherings
in the 19th century, is also the birthplace of several modern poets-including
Cintio Vitier and Carilda Oliver Labra. In addition, it has many cultural
groups and institutions, including Vigía Publishing House, which puts
out limited editions of beautiful hand-bound books that are veritable
works of art Matanzas Cuba Travel Agency.
