Where is your favourite destination and why?
Havana. It’s where I’m from and going back is all about returning to the source. The minute I arrive there’s the smell and the heat of the tropics, the humidity … it welcomes me. Walking around the city, music is everywhere — it’s almost like each apartment is its own discotheque. In one there’s salsa, the next there’s reggaeton, then a bolero — it’s a madhouse from that perspective. People are always dancing in the street, nobody walks on the sidewalks, everyone walks on the street.
Then there’s the seawall of the Malecón, which is about five miles long and has its own ecosystem. People are selling you stuff, others are fishing. Musicians will go and practise their instruments — trumpets, trombones — because no one bothers them. There are so many stories to tell there.
