Cuban Rodeo Harkens Back to Spanish Roots - NBC News

* Mainstream news about Cuba, good photos are a benefit

The fair is a celebration of over two centuries of Cuban rodeo tradition, bringing together top riders from all over the island and other countries.

Cuban cowboys compete in a steer wrestling event at the rodeo on March 23. There is still a strong cultural influence in Cuba from its one-time Spanish colonizers, and the rodeo featured all the standby traditional events: bull riding, calf roping, barrel racing, lasso demonstrations and remarkable feats of daredevilry.
