If you are going to explore Cuban culture, you have to read up a bit on the history of Jose Marti. He was a poet an writer who was a central part in the Cuban revolution. Originally he wrote childrens books, but her had a revolutionary vision and wanted to see Cuba as an independent country, free from oppression. He died in battle, but his memory lives strong in Cuba. His face is mounted on monuments in front of most government buildings and many residential homes too. He has a fascinating story and you should definitely do some research on him, if you like history.
