Somos Negros Hablamos Español y Qué?
(We are Black, We Speak Spanish, and What?)

acrylic on canvas,    24" x 36"
1997, Tania Guerrera

This 1997 painting honors the African influences of Caribbean Latin American music with the Dominican, Columbian and Puertorican flags. A picture of Che hints at the Cuban influence.

The water drips from the Africa map on the wall onto the drum, a "Vegigante" stands guard over the happy dancing scene. A candle shines to represent the spiritual influence of the Mother Land.
