Tropicana Nights: The Legendary Cuban Nightclub

The Tropicana nightclub was to 1950s Havana what the Moulin Rouge was to Paris or the Latin Quarter to New York. At the Tropicana, you could hear the finest mambo and jazz musicians of the era, cha-cha into the night and see extravagantly risqué floorshows—all against a backdrop of political turmoil and Mafia corruption. Tour one of the world’s most glamorous venues at its most brilliant moment in a vivid portrayal of the cultural richness and roiling social problems of pre-revolutionary Cuba. Cuban-born Rosa Lowinger is a playwright and journalist. She co-authored, with Ofelia Fox, Tropicana Nights: The Life and Times of the Legendary Cuban Nightclub.
