Rey Maraca, Cuba

I travelled to Cuba to document the Caribbean nation’s rich culture. One evening, while capturing the sunset along the Malecón, Havana’s oceanside highway, I encountered Rey Maraca. In the 1960s and ’70s, he was a celebrated musician and singer of son cubano, an Afro-Cuban genre blending Spanish guitar, vocals and layered percussion. He agreed to be photographed, but only if he could change into his cherished white suit. MEHDI BENEMBAREK • PHOTOGRAPHER gallery.so/mehdi_benembarek @mehdi.benembar...
