casa de las tradiciones

It was a bit difficult to find, but it's worth it. Intimate space, and absolutely authentic traditional music. We went one Thursday night and arrived a bit early - 8pm -ish, and the band Sone de Oriente started 9 pm sharp. Cover charge was only 2 cuc. The place was filled with mix of locals and adventurous music enthusiasts.

Great & funky place to dance and drink the night away with the locals and enjoy the live music. Great atmosphere...as soon as we entered the door we were pulled along to dance,...and we never stopped!

We heard good things about it from a friend, so we stopped by in the afternoon to grab a mojito/ron collins/etc. The bartender was very friendly, and I'd imagine that it's a great spot at night! We regret not having visited this place at night before we left SdC because it seemed like such a cool/eclectic place during the day.

The Casa de las Tradiciones is a great little Venue, great music, great atmosphere authentic and reasonably priced, you will meet real Cubans here.An added bonus is that my wife's family live next door, so pop in and say Hola, tell them Mark sent you.

This is the best place for dancing in Santiago. Last time we were in Cuba we came here every night and it was just as nice this year. It is tiny and very crowded, people dance everywhere, and there are more locals than tourists who love to dance. You can come alone or as a couple, but expect to be engaged by locals who teach you to dance salsa, the best teachers are found here. It is intimate, hot and vibrant! The bands play traditional music and may invite other foreign musicians and singers to join them. They serve mojitos, rum and soft drinks at the bar (no beer) and the entrance fee is 1-2 cuc. Get there early to find a table! Casa de las Tradiciones is definitely one of the highlights in Santiago

This is the heart of Cuban son and salsa: from this place you have the view over Santiago to which the Biena Vista Social Club owes its name. For lovers of salsa and son, this is the place to be.

Looking for a night out with good music and authentic Cuban atmosphere, a group of 7-8 people went to the Casa de la Tradiciones. We'd had a beer there earlier in the day and decided to come back to this charming place for some salsa in the evening. And what a night! After a few beers and mojitos in the back garden, we danced the evening away. Local Cubans asked us to dance with them and we did! What an amazing atmosphere! Just remember to bring a roll of toilet paper and some antibac with you. Toilet paper and water are hard to come by in Cuba.

The Casa de last Tradiciones is definitely the best place to spend the evening an early night in Santiago. From 10 p.m until the small hours of the next morning. No stage, the band is more or less mingling with the crowd. Great dancing, not for me but for those who enjoy salsa and know the basics. There is always a Cuban that likes to teach you a bit more.

I agree with other reviews that the Casa de las Tradiciones in the Tivoli of Santiago de Cuba is one of the more authentic venues and definately steeming.Watch-out is that only couples are now allowed in ... strange but true as in January 2006.(Ladies, go to the toilet before going, the ones in the venue are gross !!!)

Uns hat es sehr gefallen. Versteckt etwas außerhalb des Zentrums befindet sich das gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Kleinod. Wechselnde Musikgruppen, Eintritt 2014 noch 2 CUC. Mojito, Daiquiri, Rum 4 CUC, für kubanische Verhältnisse vielleicht zu teuer, aber als Tourist ist der Preis für das was geboten wird vollkommen akzeptabel, Tanzkurs inclusiv. Expressionistisch, mit Flair von Lebenslust und Verruchtheit. "Darbietung" in lockerer Atmosphäre auf der Tanzfläche einmalig. Schauen Sie auf youtube um einen ersten Eindruck zu bekommen.

Heerlijke Mojito's, swingende salsamuziek en een super sfeer! Wij hebben hier een hele avond gedanst!

Da ballerino di salsa ed amante della cultura cubana, è stato per me il miglior locale visitato nel recente viaggio a Cuba. Niente a che vedere con le varie Casa de la Musica di Miramar o Galiano, dove ormai sembra di essere in un supermercato per turisti.Ottima musica, ambiente caratteristico e personaggi indimenticabili in questo scorcio di vecchia Cuba. Imperdibile.

Hay que perderse mucho para encontrar este lugar, cuna del nacimiento y progreso de muchos músicos cubanos. En este sitio tocaron Compay Segundo y el compositor Naranjo entre otros, en el se respira puro arte.Destacar la gente encantadora que nos recibió y explicó muchas cosas de este sitio.

Los lugares con historia cultural en Cuba son espectaculares, a estos lugares no pueden dejar de ir porque conoceran la historia de nuestra hermosa cultura, nuestra musica, nuestra danza, nuestra arte. Son lugares muy hermosos en los cuales se pueden relajar y disfrutar de la musica, de la danza o de la pintura que ahi se expone aparte de conocer un poco mas de nuestra historia cultural

O lugar é bem pequeno e frequentado pelas pessoas da cidade. Pessoas simples que só querem curtir a noite. Os turistas são super bem recebidos. Todos te convidam para dançar. Dance! É claro que vc não chegará aos pés dos dançarinos locais. Mas se divertirá bastante. É comum eles pedirem para vc pagar um refrigerante ou um drink . Pague! Ou ofereça uma bebida. Vc vai querer ajudá-los. Nem que seja só pagando uma bebida.
