Havana Club Rum brought a taste of Latin spirit to Wexford Street with the launch of the Little Havana Festival in Whelan’s. Guests gathered to soak up the Cuban vibe with Havana Club Rum Mojitos and Cuba Libre and Cuban tapas style bites.
Resident DJ Christian Lorenz spun a Cuban set with his signature Latin flare, while Cuban inspired drummers and dancers took to the floor to entertain the crowd.
Guests included DJ Mikki Dee fresh from his recent stint at the Oxegen festival; model Suzanne McCabe together with her boyfriend Rob Buckley. Deric Hartigan, who is busy with plans for the Mr. International Ireland contest, caught up with stylist Darren Kennedy as well as models Ally Garvey and Ciara Hughes.
Havana Club, the authentic Cuban rum, brought the Little Havana festival of events to five bars (Solas Bar, Whelans, Shine, The Village and Féile) on Wexford Street last week with free admission to all Little Havana events over the weekend.
Highlights included the Cuban Jazz Project with their unique blend of Afro-Cuban jazz and soul sounds at Whelans main stage on Friday night and The Cuban All Stars, Ireland’s only 100% authentic Cuban Band, with a music and dance extravaganza on Saturday night at The Village. Cuban inspired music, dancers and performers were on the streets and bars to ensure Cuban fever took over Wexford Street!
