Hola companero. If you are going to Havana andt wants to learn bata you should go to jazzcafe or jazzclub when Diakara plays, the leader of the group is Oscar Valdez, he is very nice and could maybe teach you or give you the name of another good teacher. Good luck.

Hi.

Try to find Eliel Lazo. He is playing a lot at Jazz Cafe. He is a young guy but VERY talented one. He is a student of Oscar Valdes.

He has a record out now featuring Chucho Valdes and Changuito among others.

I can give you his email. Contact me jussimakela@hotmail.com
