According to Granma, Madonna – who was seen driving around in a ’57 Chevy convertible – will be in Havana until Wednesday. In her words, “We are very happy she came”.

Photographer Steven Klein, and stylists B. Akerlund and Andy Lecompte are accompanying the singer, along with her production team and close friends. It shows her wearing a revealing black dress with yellow flowers and smiling as she tips a black hat.

Excited crowds have gathered outside the hotel where she is staying in historic Old Havana but have caught few glimpses of the 58-year-old star.

The famous United States singer and actress will enjoy a “big party” with Cuban rhythms, dances and flavors on Tuesday and will visit important historical and cultural sites in Havana.

Madonna is just the latest in a list of celebrities who have undertaken high-profile trips to the island nation since Barack Obama began working to lessen travel restrictions for USA citizens.
