The American Cubanito And Things To Know About It

By Ann Murray


Cubans have been transplanted to the US through a history of trade, war and geopolitics. Cuba was once an American colony which produced sugar for America as well as provided a tropical vacation spot for citizens in the continent. Later on, the revolution ousted Americans and their companies from the island and refugees came and went from it.

People lumped as part of the classification Latino or those who come from south of the border with Spanish ancestry, Cubans take pride in having a unique history and cultural materials. The American Cubanito is part of these materials, and has generated so much in terms of food or cuisine, arts and the and entertainment. It is everything Cuban and more, a mix of popular elements.

This diminutive from Spanish works as a way of calling things affectionately, especially the more common or popular. This designation is something very much in touch with the cultural developments for Cubans in America. One example of this is the Cubanito drink, which comes from margaritas, but making its own name with folks.

Music makers also do work from the Cuban standpoint, mostly doing basing it on traditional items. The language could be English, Spanish or pidgin, and depends on any artist, but something all Cubans can relate to. Also, there have been a successful record of Latino hit songs here, very popular in many cities.

Sounds here are distinct, and a lot of artists shine in local environments and sometimes even national ones. There are those who have gone on to international fame, and have inspired many who want to follow the same path. The scene here is always vibrant, often based on night clubs that many Latinos appreciate and go to.

In the city Miami Florida Cubanitos can also define a philosophy and a way of life that is truly distinct. It is about the products that have defined commerce for the island nation, or the mores and fashions that are still found there. It is about living life as a native while being an American, a country that lets them enjoy the freedom to be what they want to be.

The people here are themselves very particular about what they do, how they act, what they eat or what they listen to. They are not exclusive about this, though, and like to welcome all sorts of people that also appreciate their cuisine, art or music. There is no need to understand Spanish to appreciate all these.

But the trend today is the current buzz for warming relations between Cuba and the US, so this is really relevant. The word Cubanito is a good word that is spreading across the country, especially where native Latinos live and work. One place is Florida, where lots of Latinos are present and Cubanito is becoming really popular.

But this will not a be something new for Florida, although the boost is one that is very current to how the US and Cuba are becoming friends again. It is a new dynamic that is vibrant to the state and lots of other places. So many people are gearing up for this new thing, especially the folks who consider the island their native land.
