HAPE Collective is a platform that promotes cultural exchange through barrier-breaking musical encounters
OUR STORY
HAPE Collective started in Havana in the spring of 2016 from the idea of creating a platform where alternative music and artists could be discovered by an audience hungry for something new.
The vast musical talent, the turn-over of DJs visiting, the beautiful locations that the city has to offer, and most importantly the audience, made Havana a very fertile ground for this idea.
The events organically evolved into a network promoting "club culture" and musical experimentation through collaborations between Cuban and international artists.
Later, we exported the spirit of HAPE's events outside of Cuba. HAPE is now represented in the U.S., Italy, Belgium, Venezuela, Vietnam, Laos.
Through our association based in Brussels, Latitude8, we create spaces for collaborations and creativity, focusing on the exploration of new forms of musical expressions, at the crossway between tradition and contemporary.

ése era uno de los varios lemas elegidos por Las Cerverias “La Tropical y Tívoli”, la compañía que creo unas de las más conocidas marcas de cerveza cubana.
