As it goes for tourists it is easier to close your eyes to the problems in the country, maybe out of ignorance. Guess we would have to raise a social awareness. But also loving afro cuban dance and the music I think that this is a way of coping with the harshness of reality. The dance makes you forget your problems if even for a moment.

But Roy perhaps her life is to play along and make folks happy, and that includes tourists, as a way to make a living. I traveled to Italy, Spain and plenty of other places. Even in NYC you will see "street artist" displaying their talents or "acting fools" so tourist would eventually give them money and a meal ticket. The Mardi Gras in NEw Orleans is a great example of locals acting like fools and pleasing those tourists. Do we know their struggles and how terrible is for them to wake up with a smile? OR we only see that when we travel to places like Cuba, The Dominican Republic or even Haiti? Beautiful photo.
