From the Inside Flap
Cuba is one of the most culturally diverse and enthralling
places in the world. It's Spanish and African heritage and the vibrancy of
its people have long inspired writers, artists and poets.
"Cuba Land of Spirit" is one man's quest to explore and celebrate the
richness and diversity of Cuban life. James Sparshatt's love for the
island and its people comes shining through in his remarkable photographs.
Visiting his subjects frequently for several years, he integrated into the
fabric of their lives and developed an instinctive feel for what makes the
island and its inhabitants tick.
His black and white images capture the essence of the country's Latin vibe,
from café society to street parties, to romantic interludes and nightclubs.
They conjure a national energy and pride, revealing the people's natural
love for life.
The striking, unposed images will deepen your own appreciation of what it
means to be alive. "Cuba Land of Spirit", captures the Cuban people in all
their rhythmic and sensual glory.
