MUSIC WEDNESDAY with Mr. Steeves:

"Camila Cabello created "Havana" because it reminded her of her Cuban-American heritage. When she wrote it she started to play the Latin piano riff first and then made up the song on the spot! It became a hit and was on the Billboard Top 100 for 7 weeks and was popular all over the world.


Instructions: as an option for this week's assignment, learn the song (music on the website) and record a 1 minute video of you playing it.
