Blunty3000 was invited to Brisbane Australia for the launch of Havana Club rum into Aussie bars for the first time, and to have a tasting session with Ben Davidson the Cocktail Chef and brand ambassador. Ben was tasked with which educating my beer and whiskey drinkin’ ass on how rum can be much more than the “kick you in the back of the brain” kinda drink I’ve usually drank it as. And boy-howdy did I learn something (something besides the fact that I never knew how SEXY salsa dancing is! ). Havana Club is a brand of rum, made in Santa Cruz del Norte, Cuba. The brand was established by José Arechabala in 1878. After the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the distillery and company was nationalised by the Cuban government; subsequently, the Arechabala family left for Spain, then emigrated to the United States. Since 1994 it has been produced by Havana Club International, a 50:50 joint venture between Pernod Ricard and the Cuban government The Havana Club brand is sold outside of Cuba in conjunction with Pernod Ricard Havana Club is not sold in the United States, however, due to the United States embargo against Cuba. Bacardi sells a different rum in the US, also called Havana Club but unrelated to the Cuban version. The Bacardi product, which is made in Puerto Rico, has been the subject of trademark violation litigation by Pernod Ricard. Video Rating: 4 / 5

“Tekla Klebetnica” group, Poland The group has started their career as aband in 2006. Beside of perfect music fit, musicians are also a good match in organization and friendship aspects. Complete harmony, which is between the members of the group, makes that the positive vibrations (not only the music ones) “pass” from artists to people they are performing for. Owing to music schools, “Tekla Klebetnica” represented the high level while musicians realize their repertoire. The musicians were growing up surrounded by folklor music. The experience has lead to creation of highlander and convivial atmosphere during the show. “Tekla Klebetnica” permanently cooperates with dozen musicians (including contrabassist, heliogonist, violinists, accordionists and many others) and with many professional dancers. “Tekla Klebetnica” had been representing Poland twice during the celebrations of Independance Day for polonia in Ireland. For the next year, we have received an invitation for tournee in Australia and New Zeland. “Tekla Klebetnica” gives about 250 concerts per year. * * * Группа “Tekla Klebetnica” , Польша Сокоровищница карпатской традиционной музыки бережно развивает и культивирует польская фольклорная группа «Tekla Klebetnica», которая простирается далеко за пределами национальных границ, охватывая территорию от Румынии до Южной Польши.
