Little Havana Fiesta

Esquina transports you to Little Havana this Sunday with their annual alley fiesta! This year, they are teaming up with Bacardi to bring guests classic rum cocktails like Mojitos and Cubra Libres while Cuban-style food like Lechon Asado (Spanish suckling pig), Tortilla de Patata will more than satisfy. All that’s left to do is to shake those hips to pan-Latin American music and later, some upbeat house to get you in the mood!

All food & drinks at $10 nett; see menu here. The fiesta deal – choice of 2 tapas, 1 cocktail, and 1 baby mojito – is priced at $30nett. Tickets available here. Little Havana Fiesta is happening on 10 June 2018 from 3pm-10pm at Esquina.

Spanning a variety of genres from thriller to romance, these culturally rich films promise to deliver a colourful performance. Opening the festival is You’re Killing Me Susana with leading man Gael Garcia Bernal playing a man trying to get his wife back, while other notable films include Diego Luna’s directorial debut, Abel and Cristina Herrera Bórquez’s memorable documentary No Dress Code Required. 

The screenings are held at both The Projector and NUS Shaw Foundation Alumni House. Tickets priced from $11.50-$13.50. 

Nubya Garcia Live! presented by Collective Minds x Kilo Lounge

If you missed London-based saxophonist and jazz composer Nubya Garcia at Sing Jazz last year, you’ll be happy to hear that she’s back with her sax at Kilo Lounge on 5 June 2018.

Her afro-tinged jazz mixed with live electronics is the exciting stuff leading the resurgence of jazz-influenced sounds in the UK, so don’t miss out because there’s no way of knowing when she’ll be making her next appearance in Singapore again.
