Calling Cuba

Some of murals and sculptures which decorate Callejon de Hamel in Havana.

 

The inconspicuous entrance to the small alleyway of Callejon de Hamel hides behind an explosion of colourful Afro-Cuban culture.

 

The work of resident artist Salvador Gonzalez, the walls of the buildings along this small stretch in Centro Habana are decorated with numerous large and bright murals.

 

The paintings, along with sculptures and statues at street level, represent the various religious movements of African origin present in Havana.

 

At weekends, the street is also home to traditional Afro-Cuban music and dance.
