Ana de Arma is Back in Cuba

August 31, 2024

The Cuban actress Ana de Arma, one of the most popular from the Island abroad, due to her roles in Hollywood films, is back in Cuba, just six months after her most recent visit, published on her Instagram profile by actress Claudia Alvariño, "Muma".

"Where there is happiness, each day is a gift. Where there is love, each moment is a pleasure. Where there are friends, each encounter is an adventure. When we are together, there is that and much more", wrote Alvariño, along with a photo in which the actresses and playwright Jazz Vilá appear.

De Arma, among her private activities on the Island, attended the cinema 23 y 12, in Havana, a space where, since August 9, Vilá has been staging his popular work Farándula. Spanish actors Melani Olivares and Mariano Peña also attended that presentation, who are in Cuba as part of the reality show "Mi primera vez", organized by the Spanish travel wholesaler Enjoy Travel Group and coordinated by Vilá.

Actor Enrique Bueno, part of the cast of Farándula, referred to De Arma, Olivares and Peña's visit on his Facebook profile: "Thanks to the attending public who packed the Cinema 23 y 12 last night to see the play Farándula, also to Cuban actress Ana de Arma and part of the cast of actors from the famous series Aida, who did not want to miss the opportunity to laugh with a public that gave them a standing ovation repeatedly during the performance".

In February, during her visit to the Island, also of a private nature, De Arma, among other activities, attended the exclusive Johnny Club bar, during a concert by Alain Pérez and his orchestra. Furthermore, in May of last year, she celebrated her 35th birthday in Havana.

During that visit to Cuba, when she was accompanied by her boyfriend, businessman Paul Boukadakis, the first Cuban actress nominated for the Oscar Awards —for her interpretation of Marilyn Monroe— appeared in several photos published on social networks with Alvariño and Carlos Alberto Cremata, director of the children's theater group La Colmenita.

Her birthday celebration took place at El Cocinero restaurant in Havana. Musicians Issac Delgado and Alain Pérez were two of the hosts of the night, in charge of providing rhythm to the occasion, although Carlos Varela and David Torrens also performed for the public.
