Tropicana, also known as Tropicana Club, is a world-known cabaret and club in Havana, Cuba. It was launched in 1939 at Villa Mina, a six-acre suburban estate with lush tropical gardens in Havana’s Marianao neighborhood. With over eighty years of mixing music from Santería faith tradition and super sexy performances, it has been an iconic destination for decades with cruise ship and flight schedules organized specifically to be sure foreigners make it to the shows and home before, well, breakfast at least. We could say more, but this article paints quite the picture of socialism + sensuality.
