Nothing Compares To Havana: Life Is To Whistle
Here’s an interesting fact: whistling is one of the key characteristics that gives Cuban music its authentic sound. That’s why Havana International has chosen to use whistling as the main navigation tool of their brand new website dedicated to the Cuban way of life: Nothing Compares To Havana.
The entire website revolves around the concept of whistling. The first section, “Whistle with your Keyboard”, offers a very simple and entertaining game. In order to watch a selection of videos illustrating the unique atmosphere of Havana, you have to follow a melody by hitting the keys of your keyboard when prompted. If you get it right you’ll get to see what a kitchen quartet sounds like or what a Cuban driving lesson looks like!
In the second section, “Whistle with your microphone”, you’ll be able to navigate amongst another series of videos by whistling in front of your computer. You’ll see that the website is able to identify a true and clear whistle from a half-hearted one: it works a million times better once you've mastered the art!
Finally, the third part of Nothing Compares... which may well be the funniest of all. Still using your microphone, you can create your very own whistling game and then share it with your friends online through Facebook, Twitter or by email.
The only loophole in this charming and funny website is that you may well end up whistling all day long! Not everyone's cup of tea but we advise you to give it a go. So, get ready and, above all, get practicing!
