1st Cuban festival...not really

So we heard that there was a Cuban festival taking place in Athens supported by the Cuban Embassy. Since we are into that kind of music as well we were very happy about this event and we rushed to find out more details about it. Sites were mentioning that Ibrahim Ferrer Jr (Buena Vista Social Club) was going to sing and many others as well, that even Cuban food will be available and some kind of activities. Sounded so great, so good and so energizing. We really needed somekind of passion in our lives because routine has been the most ugly visitor for some time now.
Last Sunday before going there we needed to get in the right mood. It is better to be ''ready'' when you get in than waiting for the mood to come after an hour or so. As such, we created the perfect mojitos enhanced by the very best of Cuban music...fooled around for a bit until we saw one of our neighbours pretending that he liked what he was hearing. He hates anything that can be above his standard rate of decibels. However, nothing could stop us.Afterall, we were going to the first Cuban festival!!
The event was starting at 21.00 and as always we went 1.5 hour later. When we got in the first thing we were searching was the Cuban food because obviously we thought not to eat before in order to have a complete Cuban experience. But hang on a minute!!There was only hot dog available. We looked again around us to be sure that we didn't get in the wrong place. Too bad it was the right one. No turning back now. We got that hot dog and the only thing that i want to remember is how much i wanted to....forget that i actually ate that thing. We looked around and we found a small...ish exhibition of photos from Cuba....not much to admire really. Half an hour later the concert was over. It was around 00.00...basically our Cuban experience lasted an hour....roughly. If you exclude the 2-3 flags on the wall and the outstanding Ibrahim Ferrer Jr. along with his orchestra everything else was below average. Don't get me wrong, this is just feedback for a better outcome next time.After all, we got the ticket for something else than what we thought it would be.
If anyone from the Cuban embassy from Athens reads about this (we are aware that we have more chances to win the lottery) keep in mind that we would be more than happy to help next time....for free. This is one of the several things that we enjoy doing without getting paid in any form.
