A Cuban Legend

The Cuban Muralist Salvador Gonzalez has transformed an alley in Havana by painting murals that reach up six stories and sweep over doorways and windows for two full blocks. This Santero with a paintbrush has turned the cul de sac into a Temple to the popular culture known as Santeria. On Sundays the Alley pulses to the beat of drums drawing crowds as dancers spin and twirl to the rhythm of Rumba. Surrounded on all sides by giant murals and hanging sculptures the audience is hypnotically drawn unto the origins of the colorful and mysterious world of Afrocuban culture.
