Los Papines was a legendary Cuban percussion group founded by the Bravo brothers, specializing in Afro-Cuban drumming and rumba. The photograph shows the group members in formal attire with their various drums and percussion instruments arranged before them, against an ornate architectural backdrop. This poster would have promoted their performances as part of Cuba's cultural programming organized by the Consejo Nacional de Cultura.
