I'm a 49 year old female, and have been thinking about a week long photography trip to Old Havana in March. I phoned my brother, who's been many times, and when I told him I was thinking of Havana , he told me I'd be insane to go as a single female. He claims the harassment from men is unrelenting, and that every woman he knows who's been has said it was a nightmare. One woman friend he has said that if she had known before going just how bad it was, she never would have gone.
Harassment From Cuban Men-is it a Problem for Solo Women? - Havana Forum - TripAdvisor
By Lauren Du Graf. Photography by Rose Marie Cromwell. Last summer, the photographer Rose Marie Cromwell and I travelled to Havana to capture a new generation of female musicians, one that has a different sort of footing in the jazz world. Many of these women have serious chops as instrumentalists. Some have shaved heads or mohawks, or play traditional drums that women were once forbidden to play. In Cuba , there are no programs that offer a formal jazz education, and government-sanctioned performing opportunities are scarce. Some have taken online courses and watched YouTube tutorials to brush up on technique and theory, or crowdfunded their albums.
