Estas fotos fueron tomadas en el Museo de Regla en Cuba, durante un viaje de investigación que di a la isla en diciembre del 2004. González es sacerdote de la Religión Bantú, comúnmente conocida en Cuba como Palo o Palo Mayombe, e iniciado en la Regla Abakuá, de origen Kalabari (Carabalí). Preparaba una instalación de su arte religioso y pintaba un mural que se exhibiría en el museo en el año entrante. Su arte funde las tres tradiciones dominantes de la Isla: Lukumí (Yoruba), Congo (Bantú) y Abakuá (Kalabari o Carabalí).

These photos were taken in the Museo de Regla in Cuba, during a research trip I made to the island, in December of 2004. González is a priest of the Bantú religion, commonly referred to as Palo or Palo Mayombe, and an initiate of the Abakuá Society, a tradition that stems from the Kalabari (Carabalí) people of Africa. At the time, González was preparing an installation of his religious art and painting a mural that would be exhibited at the museum the following year. His art blends the three dominant African religious traditions of the island: Lukumí (Yoruba), Congo (Bantú) and Abakuá (Kalabarí or Carabalí).
