Product Description
Review
Robert Polidori's Havana is a haunting city of sherbet colors and peeling stucco, grand colonial architecture in decay, and real people who hang their laundry across a lofty foyer in an old mansion. Polidori's photographs, which fill the pages of this beautiful, oversized book, appear without comment, yet it is impossible to miss the affection and melancholy of his highly personal vision.

This review is from: Moods of La Habana Mini: Original Music from Cuba and Photos by Robert Polidori [With CD] (Hardcover)
This isn't the product I was expecting. The book I wanted is the same Moods Of La Habana, but it is bigger and has 4 CDs inside. I really don't want this small one and I don't know how to proceed with this issue now.thank you

This review is from: Moods of La Habana Mini: Original Music from Cuba and Photos by Robert Polidori [With CD] (Hardcover)
A brief glimpse of some Havana/Habana homes and architecture that have deteriorated rapidly in the last fifty years which should make the admirers of "rustica" swoon except the reality of decay is overwhelming to the point of being depressing. The photos should sound an alarm that the people of Havana need immediate help to save this treasured architecture and to provide the basics of living we take for granted in Europe and America. As an artist the photos are beautiful but as a human there excessive decay hurts.The music is interesting in providing sound bites of different kinds of Cuban music with the sounds of life in the background such as dogs barking, people talking and dishes rattling. I liked the last song by a player/mechanical piano but you won't find The Lecuona Cuban Boys sound on this CD.
As a gift this is an excellent idea, note that this is a thin book with one CD but worth the money.
