娱乐英语新闻:U.S. rock band Jane's Addiction to give concert in Cuba
HAVANA, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- The iconic American rock band Jane's Addiction will join the list of celebrities visiting and performing in Havana when they give a concert here on Friday.
The influential Californian band will participate in the Habanarte Festival, said a release from the island's Ministry of Culture, cited by the official daily "Granma" on Tuesday.
Jane's Addiction had planned to fly to Havana for a concert last March but it fell "because the U.S. Treasury Department did not guarantee the corresponding license," said the organizers of the concert at the Tropical Gardens in Havana.
Jane's Addiction is an alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band is composed by Perry Farrell (vocals), Dave Navarro (guitar), Eric Avery (bass) and Stephen Perkins (drums).
It was one of the first groups from the alternative rock movement in the 1990s to achieve commercial success in the United States and become an icon of the "Alternative Nation" movement.
Since the restoration of U.S.-Cuba diplomatic relations, the Caribbean nation has become the target of several international celebrities, especially Americans, who visit or perform in Havana.
Recently, Havana witnessed the birthday celebration of the singer Madonna, the Chanel fashion firm is showing a collection at the Prado Promenade and the mythical Rolling Stones performed an unforgettable concert at Havana in March.
