Exploring the Rich Culture and History of Cuba

Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Amanda Bower, on this audio adventure.

Today, we're taking a trip to Cuba, a vibrant island where vintage cars cruise past colourful buildings, where the rhythm of salsa spills onto every street corner, and where the sweet scent of sugar cane mingles with the ocean breeze. It's a place where music tells stories and where every meal comes with a side of rice and beans. So slip on your dancing shoes and get ready to soak up the rhythm and sunshine of Cuba!
