Since the United States re-established diplomatic relations with Cuba after more than 50 years, many Americans have been dying to get a glimpse inside the beautiful and mysterious country, that is still under Communist rule. Photographer Mikael Jansson shot a stunning editorial for the Fall issue Porter Magazine capturing Cuban creatives, artists, musicians, and locals. Check out the images below.

Beautiful! Ladies, what are your thoughts?
Notice how it is mostly the pale skin people who was trying to leave Cuba?. Did you know that under white control s Africa. It was Castro who sent troops to Angola to stop them ( the white S Africans army) invading that country, and his love for Mandela is timeless.…Just a little bit of knowledge..
speak the #TRUTH
Amazing and mind blowing.…. I know that black culture is hidden behind the curtains in many brown countries, I just never realized to what extant.
I definitely was not expecting to see so many beautiful black people, with every tone imaginable, in this Hispanic country.
I feel the same feeling I felt when I saw that ancient Chinese people, dating before the Chinese we’ve grown to know and still love, were brown with afros.…a mixed feeling of joy and sadness, because I now know our people are hidden everywhere.
Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing
L O V E this editorial. Also, in general although porter is a relatively new mag, there content is by for more diverse and features mature women often.
I mean Black mags aren’t event doing pieces like this! Shame.
Cuba my country! Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos.
Stunning pictures. Random comment but I have to say lately the articles on this blogs have been on point, very refreshing and I adore all Black people around the world are being given some shine. Keep it up
