Assouline
Havana Blues
Step into the vibrant streets of Havana with Havana Blues by Assouline, a captivating tribute to Cuba’s iconic capital. Crumbling pastel facades, vintage cars, and the soulful strains of live music tell the story of a city steeped in history and alive with energy. From its Spanish colonial roots and the glamour of the 1950s to the Cuban revolution and today’s cultural renaissance, Havana embodies a fusion of African, French, Spanish, and North American influences. Its eclectic architecture—spanning baroque, neoclassical, and art deco—stands as a testament to its enduring beauty, even amidst weathered facades. Legendary landmarks like the Gran Teatro de la Habana and the iconic Copa Room cabaret evoke its golden age, while the ongoing restoration of Habana Vieja signals a city reclaiming its splendor. With its bold art, cuisine, and entertainment,
Havana is both a time capsule and a symbol of reinvention. This book invites readers to savor the allure of a city that, like its spirit, is forever evolving.
