Trumpet Player in Havana
by Alfred Wade
A weathered stucco facade in Havana’s Centro Habana district catches the harsh, clear afternoon sun, highlighting the peeling turquoise paint and exposed brickwork typical of the era. A man in a faded white undershirt stands on a rusted iron balcony, carefully polishing a brass trumpet bell with a soft cloth, the metal gleaming against the dull background. Below, on the cracked concrete sidewalk, a small flock of pigeons scatters as a bicycle wheel passes, their grey feathers against the vibrant, sun-bleached wall. The intersection of daily maintenance and urban decay, with the trumpet’s shine serving as a focal point amidst the textured, sun-baked surroundings.
