<title>Moving the World: Sharing a love of music in Cuba</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17081/20110202/moving-the-world-sharing-a-love-of-music-in-cuba</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 2, 2011) Although it’s just 90 miles from Florida, Cuba maintains closer diplomatic relations with Canada than the United States. Today, about half of Cuba&apos;s tourists are sun-starved Canadians.  Tomorrow, a group of Ontario musicians heads to the Caribbean. Members of the Manotick Brass Ensemble, in partnership with a local Cuban church, will visit Cuba for a series of free concerts. The Canadians are also donating musical instruments to a group of students in Cuba.Lucy Martin spoke with one of the group&apos;s founders about the trip. Kazimier Samujlo says Cubans don&apos;t need any help when it comes to making music. But, he says, between the U.S. trade embargo and Cuba&apos;s own economic woes, it’s tough to find decent band instruments.
