One of my French relations, Lucile Chriqui, is a talented young songstress. She loves the music of Cuba and has taken extended trips there to immerse herself in the culture. I'm sharing some pictures from her most recent trip, being as how we're all talking about Cuba today. Here's Lucile and her friend Cynthia Abraham. The rest of the pictures are below the fold.
I'm no expert on Cuba, so I'll skip adding commentary. Below the fold, please enjoy Cuba through Lucile's eyes. And yeah, it's long past time for the embargo to go.
Here's a video that includes Lucile singing, back home in Paris:
And this is Cynthia (also in Paris):
Lucile asked for the link to this diary, and will likely see your comments. Her English is not especially good, so if you'd care to say anything to her, Spanish or French will be easier for her to understand.
