From Spanish colony to US territory and finally to controversial socialist republic, Cuba has experienced its share of turbulent history, but its struggles have not dampened the spirit of its people. Its unique Afro- Caribbean culture known for its music, cuisine, and literature, sprang from aboriginal roots, Spanish conquest, slavery, and the proximity to the United States, blending a colorful tapestry from these diverse threads.
