The Mora Brothers

The Mora Brothers - Filiberto and Yanoski - both trained as artists. At the end of the 1980s when economic hard times hit Cuba they had to think of new ways of earning a living. They started to make idiosyncratic models of old American cars used as taxis - Buick, Chevrolet, Dodge - as seen on Havana streets. They have worked closely with WOMAD for many years having been involved in workshops at WOMAD festivals in Caceres, Reading, New Zealand, Australia and most recently in 2009 in Las Palmas.

Available in small (15cmx6cm)) and large(19cmx9cm).
