Cuban Poster

Anyone know what the display typeface at top is? Anything similar would be great too. Thanks!

Is this a vintage poster? Do you know when this is from?

It’s a poster from the book “Cuba Style: Graphics from the Golden Age of Design.” Didn’t know if someone out there had digitized this typeface, or if there’s even anything similar. I looked on Letterhead fonts, thinking this would be my most likely source, but to no avail.

Closest I can think of would be Epitaph, digitized by Jonathan Smith as Gyptienne, and a mix of characters from the regular and alternate fonts of Quaint Gothic.
