As the United States continues to restore relations with Cuba, Major Lazer is set to make history by performing a free show at Tribuna José Martí in front of the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba on March 6.
The Major Lazer trio are set to become one of the first major American artists to play in Cuba since diplomatic ties were restored back in July.
Diplo said:
“For as long as I can remember, Cuba has played an influential role on my love of music — Cuba has such a powerful cultural impact all over the world and for me, especially growing up in Florida, it became one of the biggest cultural centers for music to evolve from. I was lucky enough to visit Cuba a few years back with my friends Calle 13 and during my four days there my mind was blown by the people, depth of culture and their way of life. Going back to perform in 2016 and to be a part of the culture once again is a huge blessing and I couldn’t be more honored to bring the Major Lazer project there.”
