Havana

Havana, the coastal capital city of the great Cuban nation imbued with a seductive air of revolution, resistance and inexplicable beauty marches forward regardless of the economic constraints placed on it by the United States. Elegant vintage cars, smooth rum and freshly rolled cigars are just a few of the many pleasures the city has to offer. Cuban artists like Belkis Ayon and Manuel Mendive, who merged elements of West African tradition that are fundamental to the Afro-Cuban culture into their works, influence can be seen in much of the art coming out of the city today.
