Cuba to host hip hop symposium
Cuba will host an international hip hop symposium from Aug. 17-21 that will be attended by musicians from Canada, the United States, France, Haiti and Colombia, state media reported Sunday, citing organizers.
Hundreds of thousands of Cubans flocked to sprawling Revolution Plaza yesterday for an open-air ``peace concert'' headlined by Colombian rocker Juanes, an event criticized by some Cuban-Americans who say the performers were lending support to the island's communist government simply by showing up.
