The American Cubanito And Things To Know About It

By Ann Murray


Cubans that have made a home in the US do so through trade and geopolitics. The country they come from was an American colony that was also important in the Caribbean trade and as a vacation destination for people in America. But when the revolution created the ouster of US interests, many people were displaced and settled on the continent.

As people who are lumped with Latinos, or people who have mixed Indian and Spanish ancestry from the southern parts of the Americas, they also have a unique history and culture. The American Cubanito is a thing that is related to everything from Cuba, from drinks to music and restaurants, and anything that is related. They are very popular with Cuban Americans and also generally.

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.

People do this and are particular, especially since they are doing, eating, or appreciating music in the traditional sense. But this is not in any way exclusivist, because everybody here will welcome anyone willing to appreciate all the things in art, cuisine and the like. Understanding Spanish is never a stumbling block to this.

And since the current popular trend is for integrating between Cubans and Americans, this is relevant. It has made Cubanito the buzzword today, for many people across America, and most especially to folks that are active in areas where Latinos are found. A particular is Florida, where the phenomenon is scaling the heights of popularity.

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.
