Discover Cuba with Marketplace!

Join me, David Brancaccio, and a lively group of fellow public radio music and art enthusiasts as I host an inspiring and culturally rich adventure to Havana, Cuba in 2026. This unforgettable journey will take place under the “Support for the Cuban People” travel category, organized by Earthbound Expeditions.

Together, we’ll experience vibrant performances in venues throughout Havana, attend private concerts, and meet the talented musicians behind the music. Our itinerary includes visits to inspiring social projects that uplift disadvantaged youth, salsa dance lessons with private instructors, and dining in private paladar restaurants that directly support local families.

You’ll have the chance to stroll along the famous Malecón, explore Havana’s picturesque historic center, visit Hemingway’s home, and soak in the city’s energy while riding in a classic convertible. Picture yourself donning a fedora, lounging in a doorway, and letting the sultry sounds of Cuban jazz set the perfect backdrop.

Earthbound Expeditions has been happily organizing public radio adventures to Cuba since 2012, and this promises to be an extraordinary experience! Won't you join me in celebrating the music, art, and culture of Cuba while supporting its incredibly resilient people?
