Bringing more Cubania to Singapore
"Clarke Quay has recently undergone a transformation, with a renewed focus on live music bars along the river at Block E. One of the newest additions is Cuba Libre Café & Bar, located at Block E #01-03/04. The new Cuba Libre's venue has been designed to enhance the Cubania experience for guests, which is the soul and lifestyle of Cubans that revolves around music, rum and cigars. In Cuba, music is the root of everything, and it influences everything from sunrise to sundown. Whether young or old, everyone in Cuba is singing or humming to a rhythm, which is the essence of Cubania. With the new venue, Cuba Libre aims to revive this Cubania feel and bring the Cuban culture to Singapore through music. According to Alex Moreno, the General Manager, "We want to bring the Cuban rhythm to Singapore and share the essence of Cubania that we started 17 years ago with Cuba Libre."
At the new Cuba Libre in Block E, Clarke Quay, visitors can get a taste of Cuba's vibrant culture and atmosphere. The walls are adorned with original hand-painted murals that represent the spirit of liberation, fun, freedom, and music of Cuba. One mural behind the stage depicts the music and love of Havana, while another celebrates the passion and bold colors of female patrons, inspired by the iconic Frida Kahlo. General Manager Alex Moreno explains that women play a big part in Latin culture, and Cuba Libre wants to celebrate them in their own way. Come and experience the lively ambiance and rich culture of Cuba at Cuba Libre Café & Bar.
