1. Christmas, Easter and the dear holidays...
Just like every year, the holidays are a favourite travel period. And
just like every year, DyM Travels can offer the complete programme of
dance journeys, language vacations and other cultural preferences for
the Christmas and New Year period. This is a big advantage for
everybody who prefers to avoid the holiday stress and while enjoying
an active holiday programme. And even if most agencies close for
Christmas - DyM keeps offering the complete programme!
But we don't have any influence on the flight capacities. Still, we can help
you with advice.
If you are planning to travel for Easter in April, it is also
recommendable to look for a flight now. For example when planning to
join our dance special in Cuba:

No matter if travelling alone, as a couple, with a small group and/or
with children - we will find a suitable holiday programme for you...
2. Gems from Cuba on CD
It is well known, that many exceptionary artists who combine their
musical heritage with contemporary tendencies are from Cuba. Today, we
would like to point out three musical gems proving our point:
- Issac Delgado: Así Soy
El "Chévere de la Salsa" is back with his second album after moving to
Miami. This is a first class album: music, lyrics, arrangements and of
course Delgado's characteristic voice - a great piece of work:

- Tirso Duarte: Para Que Nada Te Pueda Pasar
Tirso Duarte is one of the most prominent Cuban artists at the moment.
He became popular with his mix of salsa and timba. Now he surprises
his fans with a reggaeton album. He combines the sometimes monotonous
reggaeton rhythm with great singing and a timba touch. Reggaetón a lo
Cubano. Here are the audio samples:

- Pupy Pedroso: Tranquilo Que Yo Controlo
You haven't danced for a long time. You are fed up with another grey
November. Don't become desperate! There is a remedy for you: The CD of
the former member of Los Van Van, César "Pupy" Pedroso, is the perfect
material for getting rid of dullness. Would you like to try it? There you go:
Pupy Pedroso: Tranquilo Que Yo Controlo
3. Oana Catalina Chitu: Bucharest Tango
This CD is really special! It is dedicated to the time between the two
world wars, when also tango played an important role in the Rumanian
capital. The singer Oana Catalina Chitu has a wonderful voice which
gives the titles a unique charme. The sonorous sound of the language
adds to the effect. Only some of the titles are tangos, but all of
them are worth listening to:
