Getting to Cuba for Americans can be problmatic......NO U.S carriers direct fly there even though its 90 miles south of Florida....and depending on how relations between The Cuban commies are going with Washington at the moment........visa's can be a problem
For my wife and I....we were on a weekend vacation to Carmen Del Playa, Mexico....and decided to pick up a Aero-Mexico flight to Cuba.....we'd never been and really wanted to see Hemingway's house and go for a ride on the famous Malecon ....see the old forts and cannons...stuff like that.
We then flew back into Mexico.....finished up our vacation in Carmen Del Playa and came home.....and promptly got a ration of **** from customs when we flew back into Houston TX.
But it was a great trip and we saw a lot of historic stuff....Cuba as a country is like a time capsule from the 1950's

I can imagine it is difficult to travel there, but definitely on my bucket list! You saw Hemingway’s house?!? Now I am even more amazed! I have seen Globe Trekker, PBS show, in Cuba! Amazing! Especially the automobiles!
I have my great aunt’s b/w photos of Cuba from the 1960’s amazing. I remember the plantains she brought home. I was 5 years old and I thought, worst bananas ever. 
Was it worth the rash of *!&! ?

Oh yeah! We saw Hemmingway's house, picked up up a local taxi....a beat to **** old Chevy....cruised around old Habana......
I'm a coffee nerd so we stopped at a cool old coffee house and hung with the locals for a while. They mostly love American's and act very intrigued getting to talk to anyone from the states!
But one thing...start talking about certain things...they get nervous.....politics is a no no. Being from the worlds premier free country and being used to being able to say anything you want without reprisal its easy to forget.....but when you're in a controlled society like a communist dictatorship....saying the wrong things can cause you trouble and you pick up on that from the locals when you're there....they can immediately get pretty guarded about talking about certain things ...like saying anything negative about the government.
But we really did have a great time....My wife is Latina and fit right in and I'm a gringo who speaks decent Spanish so it was all good!
Not the first time I've had **** from customs...I've travelled a lot to 3rd world countries and have kinda gotten used to it! LOL.
There was this one time in Panama that me and a buddy got busted for entering the country legally.........

Can’t off hand think of cross-county skiing music.
I just think of movement and listening to silence or one's breath.

This to me ‘paints’ a perfect winter landscape.
The deep dark loom of winter.
The wind on light snow.
The youthful energy and delight. - Yet the 4 beat.
Like when you go into a virgin forest and are faced with the realization of lifecycle.

sentient,
Yes! cross country skiing has that lovely gliding motion. :-) It is also fun to light a candle and let arms dance shadows on the wall. I love movement and music; it makes me feel like I am flying 
****
At first I did not understand what it meant, afro cubism, I kept thinking, ?Picasso? cubist? but Wow! what a wonderful blend?
****
And if the earth could speak, I think it would sound like this. https://youtu.be/OyaiHnw9qjc (this was the song that played right after yours, sentient)
****
Lucky 1 Yes, I can imagine it would be difficult to be in a place where speech is not free. Coffee nerd you say? You should meet my husband.  That is so cool that your wife is Latina and you speak Spanish!
