Giving Thanks For Cuban Music

Cuban music is like Cuban food – full of vida (life) and tantalizing flavor. This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the joy of Old Havana culture. As we gather around the table for turkey and our famous frijoles negros or black beans & rice, we give thanks to one of our own - Lourdes Rivero Garcia.


The talented singer and guitarist sang on television in both Cuba and the United States (that’s her on the right, singing with friend, Elena Machado, in 1956). And she recorded an album (in between raising me and my siblings and earning a Masters Degree). Click here to download one of her songs.

Music was always an integral part of her life. In our family, most everyone knew how to play an instrument or sing a good Cuban tune. Music and dancing was passed down from generation to generation, encouraged by our great-grandparents, who had a deep appreciation for music. And they loved bringing people together for memorable meals and lively conversation.

Using the same centuries-old Cuban recipes, we’re carrying on the tradition with Old Havana Foods. You can read the complete Old Havana Family story of Julio by visiting our website . You’ll see family pictures and a snapshot of Lourdes and twin sister, Regina, as toddlers; enjoying a sweet Cuban melody over a tasty Cuban dish. (See them performing here on Cuban Television)
