A central-Havana bench whose distinctive professions are fencers, baseball players, pianists, and boxers — a very specific Cuban combination that reflects a century of Olympic fencing and boxing, the Habana baseball tradition, and the keyboard lineage that runs through Ignacio Cervantes and Ernesto Lecuona. José Martí, Celia Cruz, Capablanca, and Ana de Armas all belong to this bench.
