bajos

Spanish to English Art/Literary Folklore
A text about the kitsch in post-1959 Cuban art and culture:


Los años de las hebillitas-lazos de latón martillado, las camisas de caqui bordadas con frases de cancioneros, las peligrosas pinturas de uñas con colores nunca vistos, las camisetas estampadas con fotos de revistas calcadas con alcohol de madera, los “nuevos” paisajes chinos con papel de snacks de chocolate, las flores de celuloide, las botas cañeras con tacón hollywood, los bajos de guinga [tela estampada con cuadros diminutos], las lámparas hechas con lustrosos enlatados de macarella-fish Made in Japan

Bell-bottoms were never sold in Cuba when they were in fashion, so people resorted to all kinds of creative inventions.
