The American Cubanito And Why It Is Becoming Popular

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.

The name is a diminutive from the Spanish language, which is an affectionate way of labeling things or naming people. It is therefore a general nickname for anything that accesses the native culture while being an American thing. For instance the drink called Cubanito is a variety of margarita, which is a popular bar item.

There are also those making music out of traditional music that is found on the islands. Languages in use may be pidgin, English or Spanish, and will depend on artists, something that may be appreciable for many Cubans residing here. Also, Latin songs are often a hit in America, and always played in certain cities.

The sounds for this are distinct, and many artists have shined from local scenes into the national one. Some have achieved international celebrity, and they have inspired and are inspiring a lot of young artists. This part of the musical scene is therefore vibrant, alive at night in clubs, where many young people congregate.

Cubanitos here defines a particular philosophy that has roots in a culture of another place. Something also applicable to products that identify Cuba uniquely, or fashion that is current in the island and its people. But also something that takes definition within America itself, the nation that has given them freedom and the lifestyle they live.

People doing this are also particular about the things they are doing, the way they act or eat or listen and appreciate music. It is not an exclusive philosophy though, since they can welcome all those who want to partake of what they offer in any way. Not being able to understand Spanish is not a block to doing this.

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.

It is not a new thing, but an accepted part of culture in this particular state that has been given new life from thawing relations between two countries. Thus, the vibrancy or dynamism for this is really something new. Lots of people are getting to appreciate, and not just those who are from or native to the island nation.
