Forty years ago a pleasure cruise around San Diego Bay ended with the rescue of 11 people from the swamped Bahia Belle in rough seas off Point Loma.
After the wreck, the only the original wooden hull was saved. The Bahia Belle was rebuilt as a turn-of-the-century, Mississippi-style sternwheeler and put back into service cruising Mission Bay within the year.

Alternative music in Cuba is heard and danced increasingly more and better. The support of traditional labels for these new and unique styles is still insufficient, but young people have found in independent productions a new way to bring their creations to larger audiences.
The groups that we share below have moved away from commercial and traditional genres. With hybrid sounds and sometimes bold lyrics, these creators bet heavily on audiovisual productions to make themselves known. They know that media space for alternative music in Cuba is limited, so they take advantage of every opportunity and trust that their music will play on mobile phones, flash drives and any other digital device.
