Rolling Stones rocked Havana

The Rolling Stones rocked Havana in first Cuba concert. Tens of thousands of cheering fans crammed into the Ciudad Deportiva sports complex in the Cuban capital to hear the British superstars, playing on an 80-meter (260-foot) stage flanked by 10 giant video screens.

Stones frontman Mick Jagger, wearing a colorful sequined jacket over a burgundy shirt, kicked off the show at 8:35 p.m. local time (0035 GMT) with «Jumpin’ Jack Flash,» followed by «It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll.»   (Pics/Cubadebate)

Cuba: Obama to Rolling Stone

The Rolling Stones are heading to Havana for a historic free concert on Friday and they’ve released a video to mark the occasion. On Tuesday, the group delivered an all-Spanish video message for their fans in Cuba.

The band speaks in Spanish, but there are English subtitles in the video. While «Jumpin’ Jack Flash» plays in the background, the band greets viewers in the clip with a hearty, «Hola Cuba!»
