Documenting Cuba by Luis Alarcón

In this series of images, after months of documenting life at the Malecon, (the wall that separates Havana from the sea), the police arrived one fateful day and shut it all down. From that moment on there would be no more jumping or diving or swimming along the Malecon.

Documenting Cuba by Luis Alarcón

Raices Profundas has been together now for over 35 years.  As we’ve touched on, their dances are based on the Cuban expression of their Afro-Religious roots. In fact, the dances themselves are a form of worship. At times the rhythms can even take the dancers into trance states. While they have various colorful costumes, choreographies, and songs and put on elaborate stage shows, this is not really my interest.
