Like its predecessors, the House of Music of Galiano has a store for the sale of records and musical instruments. It is also a necessary destination for those who come in search of good musical offers, because right there the best exponents of popular music will be waiting for You. When it was inaugurated, during the Cubadisco International Fair in May 2002, there was an expectation to know EGREM's second home in Havana. The result was a complete success. The rehabilitation that was done in what was the Jigüe Cinema, and before, Teatro Cuba and Molino Rojo, in the same building of the Teatro América, jewel of the Cuban Art Decó, was exemplary. It has a spectacular lounge with three bars on the ground floor and the first, a smaller one with a bar. The sound is very good as well as its programming, which favors a great atmosphere every day. The price of the entrance depends on the quality of the artistic proposal, generally very good.

Cultural Center El submarino Amarillo.
17 corner to 6st.Vedado.
In front of the park where the sculptural work of the artist Villa Soberón representing the musician John Lennon is located is the Yellow Submarine, cultural center of the company Artex.
It opens its doors from Tuesday to Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m, with free admission. During this time, visitors can enjoy songs and audiovisuals from The Beatles as well as groups that stood out in the 60s and 70s, in the pop-rock genre. From 9:00 p.m and until 2:00 a.m, the entrance will be in national currency and the attending public, can interact with a different live musical group, every night.
This place rescues the artistic concept of pop art bringing it in a coherent way to the new styles. The bar takes details of the submarine such as hatches, keels, tubular shapes and proportions. The color as a leading element, retakes the saturated and bright chromatic harmonies of Pop, on a dark blue that provides the intimacy characteristic of these places that together with the lyrics of the songs, embodied in the walls, forming an active part of the local graphic , expressed in dynamic style, create an empathy in the visitors of the place, with the work of the Beatles and brings them closer to the original texts of their most famous songs.
