He took to La Fabrica de Arte Cubano (FAC) for a night of spinning before a crowd of Cubanos (April 16 – 17), a tour de force in DJing for the young natives that consider Ahmir an Ambassador of Hip-Hop to the Caribbean nation.

Apart from fulfilling his musical duties, Quest also indulged in a little tourism, during which he visited Teatro America in Havana (where The Roots performed circa 2002). He also ran into famous salsa crew Azucar Negra, who was shooting a video at the time.
