I agree. I genetically connect with Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Bajans and Jamaicans. Still trying to find the exact ancestors but learning about each other is definitely a start.
@@tize8310 You're fine being African American I'm fine with being Rican, Jamaican, Cajun and Black American. Sounds like you have a superiority complex
😍 loved this. Cuba made a trong impact in America and even other continent music. There's so many rhythms made with the Cuban conga drums and bongoes. Also we got an ancien African rhythm that was almost forgotten and we brought it back to life. Our ancestors brought the Cuban Clave, that was an ancient Nigerian rhythm, that's the base of all Cuban music geners or the most of them, also the modern afro beats. Cuba influenced to music like rumba from Congo, that is actually a cousin of our rumba, our music got to Africa and they lived it. Is like they got back a part of themselves but with the Cuban flavor. Salsa has touched the world..and Cuba is the country mother of that music and dance. And also there's so many music around the world that people don't even know is ours 😅. As Cuban, I really love the fact that Afrocuban culture is opened to the world, and make us part of every culture the same way Africa does. As another Island daughter of Africa..like the other Greater and lesser west indies countries...We are proud of our African culture. We are all part of Africa, even though we might be different, speak different languages, we all feel the african genes running through our blood. And also all afro diaspora all around the world ❤❤❤
Exactly..i met a girl here n new orleans..cuban descent..shes a so called die-hard christian,who loves Salsa and after i told her the history of Salsa..rumba and the drums..she started cursing..saying rumba music wasnt born out of the african slaves and Lukumi..she said it was Spain,i let her go with her Christian beliefs

Hi there! I haven't planned to make a video on Trinidad and Tobago just yet, but I'm writing an Afro Encyclopedia about the African diaspora around the world and there is a section on Trinidad! It will be out next month 😊
coming here from Cameroon after reading a lot about our Oroko people taking to cuba during slavery, in Europe people think I'm from Cuba now I start to understand why, I want to read more about cameroonians in Cuba but I can't find, recommendations anyone? thanks.
Hey there! Funny you should say that, I've just finished filming my video on Afro Jamaica! It will be coming out in June, I think you're going to like it!
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial Ironically on my dad's side of the family I am of Syrian, French, Haitian and Dominican, but it might sound strange to you but both my Haitian and Dominican ancestry is Taíno Native American, on my mom's side I am of mixed Afro American, Afro Barbadian, Cherokee Native American, Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Polish Jewish, Portuguese, and Puerto Rican of Spanish descent.
I'm mixed-race; on any form or census I always identify as white European and black African which is very common in the UK, and we also have a high mix of white European and Afro-Caribbean too.
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial Speaking of Afro Caribbean have you ever heard the beef between Afro British whose ancestors came from Africa and Black Brits whose ancestors came from the Caribbean? I read that on a Wikipedia page.
This is the link black America, we need to learn from our family in Cuba how to bridge the roads between Afican and the Americans
I agree. I genetically connect with Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Bajans and Jamaicans. Still trying to find the exact ancestors but learning about each other is definitely a start.
Nope I'm fine with being Black American.
If anything the diaspora including Africans tends to look towards us to find their "black pride"
@@tize8310 You're fine being African American I'm fine with being Rican, Jamaican, Cajun and Black American. Sounds like you have a superiority complex
The lies😂😂😂 black America has no culture! There culture derives from the yt man and the garbage music
@@tize8310 "black pride" is a myth. People are proud of their ethnicities, proud Jamaican, proud Haitian, proud Cuban etc.
Thank you so much for these series on Afro-Cuban history!
Thank you so much for watching Sheila! 🤗
Your pronunciation is on point!!!
Thank you so much! 🤗
Really now? Abakua is not aba-ku-a but abakwa. And Carabalí is not Cara BA li, but CarabaLÍ. Rumba is ROOM-ba not RUM-ba. But otherwise well done.

What do you think about making a video on the African Caribbean people of Trinidad and Tobago?
Hi there! I haven't planned to make a video on Trinidad and Tobago just yet, but I'm writing an Afro Encyclopedia about the African diaspora around the world and there is a section on Trinidad! It will be out next month 😊
Also Mexico, South America, Argentina, Peru, Panama, etc.

Can you do more videos on Afro Latinos?
What is your race and ethnicity?
