Cuba opens online store with cultural twist
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100407/tc_afp/cubacultureinternetonline

HAVANA (AFP) – Communist Cuba unveiled an online store with a cultural twist Wednesday offering everything from books by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara T-shirts to designer shower curtains and music downloads.
"It is really the biggest online selection of (Cuban) culture, and all the areas of the arts are represented," manager Teresita Espino was quoted as saying in Rebel Youth newspaper.
The new site, www.mallcubano.com, even features a clothing line from the Compay Segundo brand, named after the late star of the Buena Vista Social Club who died in 2003.
