​Cuba​, 2016

Cuba is an island nation with about 11 million inhabitants. It has a very rich and varied history and culture. Cuba and the USA  share many charactertics---both are multiethnic  which is based upon their amost complete annihalation of the indigenous people, enslavement of Africans, and importation of Europeans. At the same time, they each developed their own popular musical forms for which they are well known. Our histories are linked together and it remains to be seen how the relationship will develop since the death of Fidel Castro and the recent election of Donald Trump. Below are some of the faces of the Cuban people.
