Cuba50 Festival Director, Rob Miller, said : "We are so pleased to have the breadth of fabulous artists from Cuba performing at the Barbican in London in June. From Rumba to Son, Jazz and Salsa, the Cuba50 Barbican weekend is a fitting tribute to the wealth of musical talent continuing to develop in Cuba. This will be the biggest European celebration of Cuba in this 50th anniversary year, so make sure you book early as these shows will sell out fast."

As well as the two main evening concerts a host of associated events in June will see London venues joining the Cuba50 celebrations. Watch this space for details. www.cuba50.org/
