After securing their $60,000 Kickstarter goal to bring Cuba their first-ever electronic music festival, the organizers behind Santiago's forthcoming (May 4-6) MANANA festival have added UK acid-house innovator, A Guy Called Gerald, and Big People Music club night impresario, Madam X, to their debut lineup.

The two Manchester clubbing figures will appear alongside previously announced headliners, London dubstep pioneer, Mala, and NYC-based Latin-dance artist, Quantic, as well as Italian beatmaker, DJ Khalab, and American producer, Gifted & Blessed. As we outlined in our initial announcement on MANANA, the event comes via a Cuban/British non-profit organization "dedicated to connecting the traditional styles of Afro-Cuban Folkloric music to modern electronic sounds."
