We now turn the focus to Havana. By the 1940s many of the cities had grown greatly. There were many members-only clubs, such as cigar-rolling clubs, or baseball clubs, as well as music clubs. Entrance to these clubs was based on ethnicity. One such club was the Buena Vista Social Club. People would go there to dance and sing and listen to traditional Cuban folk music.

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or clubs:

    Private faces in public places
    Are wiser and nicer
    Than public faces in private places.

    As night returns bringing doubts
    That swarm around the sleeper’s head
    But are fended off with clubs and knives ...
