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.

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.

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.

With the city Miami Florida the Cubanito is a definition of philosophy, and the way to make a really distinct way through culture. These are for products that can define the trade with Cuba, and perhaps fashion and practice current there today. But it is a more defined way of also being American, the country to which they owe the debt of freedom and the life that goes with it.

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.

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.

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.
