Printing room with some chatter and one printing machine at the far end of the room, recorded from opening to the street. Boss came up to me and asked if i had any pens- guess they didn't make enough that year.
I took this recording from my room in a beautiful casa on the main square in santa clara. It was warm and not windy so i could keep the windows open during the storm, and eavesdrop on this little party, which seemed to warm up as the storm did. This is an edited version of a longer clip i have also uploaded to freesound.
Group of cuban men working on a small new building beside other buildings. Bandsaw cutting stuff often heard over the chatter, chipping sounds, and light, offmic traffic.
Lots of throaty cars (vintage and otherwise) and trucks passing by a busy street corner in downtown havana. Reasons to bring something to record with on vacation!.
