Carnival Returns to Varadero after Years of Absence

Havana, Oct 4 (acn) Specialists from the Cuban Music Institute 
announced on Wednesday that the world famous tourist resort of 
Varadero, in central Matanzas province, will be hosting the Carnival 
2007 event during the first three weekends of December.

After several years of absence, the Carnival returns to Varadero as a 
result of recent accords between the island's Culture and Tourism 
ministries aiming at consolidating the development of the cultural 
product of Cuba's main tourist resort.

The director of the Cuban Music Institute in Matanzas, Reynaldo 
Dominguez, told reporters that foreign tourists as well as the 
inhabitants of Varadero, Santa Marta, Cardenas and other neighboring 
cities and towns will be able to enjoy a very rich cultural event with 
talented and renowned artists.

Dominguez added that the Carnival will join the varied cultural offer 
of Varadero that also includes the Festival of Popular Songs, in June 
2008, and the recently held Jam Session international jazz festival.
