African roots in the Cuban Culture is permanent tribute to African Day.

The Mast, Lusaka, 25th May 2021. When we celebrate the Day of Africa on 25th May, Cuba feels proud of her African roots, which manifest in all spheres of life and not only in the colour of the skin. The culture of Cuba is a complex mixture of different factors and influences. The Cuban people and the customs, traditions, music, religious beliefs, way of life, etc. are mostly based on strong European, African and Amerindian influences and cultural links.  Along that historical route, we share history, culture, religion, music, strong friendship and the aspirations and dreams for a better future for all.
