Mick Jagger is in Cuba to scout out a possible Rolling Stones concert
during a Latin American tour planned for next year, the official
communist party newspaper Granma has said.

Granma said on Monday that Jagger, 72, was on a private visit "but it
could be related to a concert that the Rolling Stones wants to give in
Cuba".

Jagger, who was traveling with one of his children, was seen at a timba
concert over the weekend given by the group Bamboleo in western Havana.

Granma said he also toured Old Havana and Cuban night clubs.

The Cuban newspaper quoted recent remarks by guitarist Keith Richards
that the Stones could give a concert next month at Havana's Latin
American Stadium, the island's biggest baseball venue.

Stones bassist Darryl Jones and Bernard Fowler, a backing singer with
the group, performed in Havana in February with the group The Dead Daisies.

Rock was frowned on in Cuba for many years for ideological reasons, but
it has gained popularity over the past decade as the island has opened up.
