Want to get the feel of Cuba? Go to Miami.  Let's face it, with such a small Cuban population, Tacoma is typically deprived of the multitudes of cultural goodies that emanate from Fidel's little isle 90 miles off the Keys. But yearly, to the rescue comes the Tacoma-Cienfuegos Sister City's Taste of Cuba.  The evening includes a whole pig roasted in a pit, live music by trio Sin Embargo, salsa dancing and instruction and a silent/live auction of Cuban curiosities. However, every time we see congas, we can't help but think of Matthew McConaughey. Naked. So, there's that.

TASTE OF CUBA, 5 p.m., Asia Pacific Cultural Center, 4851 S. Tacoma Way, $30, tickets at salsaflamencamary@hotmail.com
