Afi­ciona­dos call it the best dance hall in the world. But you won’t find it in any travel brochure. The Salon Rosado at La Trop­i­cal is the club where gen­er­a­tions of work­ing-class Cubans of colour have always gath­ered to dance, sing and live la vida loca. The locals shimmy their way to the rhythms of the hottest and edgi­est con­tem­po­rary bands on the island.
