Soot & Soup. The face of Cuba seems to be crumbling like the sea wall along Havana's beautiful Malecon Drive. The gay city is now grey and, for a Latin capital, uncharacteristically quiet. No visitor can fail to note the soot-smudged dinginess of the Habana Riviera and the Habana Libre, once the city's flossiest hotels. Silent knots of Iron Curtain technicians, gun-toting militiamen, and bewildered peasants brought to Havana for Marxist orientation have replaced the thronging tourists who once filled their lobbies.

...conducts so parsimoniously that it would be easy to forget she is there: a little old lady in grey quietly paying out time on the tips of her fingers. When one hand tires, the other begins. Only at the ends of phrases and the entrances of the vocal ensemble does the underlying, steeled precision rise to the surface. She tapers and snubs the end of each phrase, each musical sentence.
