According to the Cuban music magazine Vistar and other Havana press, the singer on Tuesday (Oct. 13) visited the children’s theater group La Colmenita, located in a former house in Havana, where she sang and danced with the kids.

It was Perry’s second visit to the island in a week. Last weekend, the singer flew to Havana, where she attended a party where the entertainment included salsa singer Issac Delgado and his band, and the seminal rumba troupe Los Munequitos de Matanzas.

Perry’s Havana weekend was reported by the national newspaper Granma, the official Communist Party publication that following the return of diplomatic relations with the United States has turned to reporting on the comings and goings of music stars, who have also included Rihanna and Mick Jagger.

Katy left the island to perform in Puerto Rico Monday night, then returned to Havana Tuesday morning. There were no reports, as yet, about Perry planning a concert in Cuba.
