Juan Landa

Landa usually played the role of "el negrito" in blackface in Havana's bufo (vaudeville) productions with his company, Bolito Landa y su compañía. He continued playing "el negrito" in exile with Miami's Pro Teatro Cubano. For an interesting series of photographs of Landa putting on blackface see Florida Memory.
