It aims to provide an alternative to commercial routes for UK and Cuban artists as well as show how culture builds communities. It is supported by the Manchester Cuban Solidarity Campaign, the Cuban Embassy and the Cuban Ministry of Culture.

The two groups have been developing the project for the past year, and funds raised on the night will go towards taking performing and recording equipment to Havana to set up the first joint cultural projects with artists in the MVSC.
