Cuban Boy with SF 49rs Hat

I visited the Las Lajas center near Cienfuegos, Cuba in June 2016 and saw this  boy. I was touched by his "old soul" look. A member of our tour group had just given him an oversized SF 49rs hat. It sits heavily on his head. He is wearing a shirt that was made from a sack so the  brand new hat is in stark contrast. The background is a colonial blue door typical in Cuba.

Santeria (Way of the Saints) is an Afro-Caribbean religion based on Yoruba beliefs and traditions, with some Roman Catholic elements added. The religion is also known as La Regla Lucumi and the Rule of Osha. 
Santeria is a syncretic religion that grew out of the slave trade in Cuba.
