WIP: Cuba <3

Hetalia Headcanons - Cuba 🇨🇺🏝️🌺

his full human name is carlos ángel machado ruiz, or shortened to carlos machado. i don't have a set physical age for him but maybe around 30?

he's a marxist-leninist. very intelligent, intellectual but unpretentious, and politically active. he's an academic, probably has degrees in political science and/or economics. i could see him being a medical doctor as well, as cuba is renowned for its advanced healthcare.

he's friendly and generous with a laid back personality, loyal to his loved ones and passionate about social/environmental causes. he can be impatient, and does have a temper but it's hard to provoke and reserved for rude and ignorant people. very much a beliver of respect being a two way street.

his canon bday is may 20th and i honestly love that for him. classic stubborn taurus with a touch of unbothered gemini swag.

he's an ambivert, he throws a great party and likes to socialize but also keeps his circle small and needs a lot of alone time. i think he'd be old friends with russia, though they're not as close as they once were and ivan can get on his nerves. he understandably has beef with america, but is slowly becoming more civil with alfred.

he loves to read, particularly history and political theory. some other hobbies are swimming, fishing, playing the tres (a type of guitar) or afro-cuban percussion e.g. tumbadora (aka conga) and bongós.

his sense of humor is dry with a goofy side that comes out around people he's closer with. he has a quick wit and is always telling dad jokes. also very much a softie for kids, animals and nature.

i headcanon him as gay/demisexual, cucan is an essential ship for me personally so they're a package deal. he is so gentle with mattie, so giving and protective. they treasure each other selflessly and understand one another better than anyone.

he loves to eat and cook, especially loves when matthew cooks for him or they cook together. his favorite dish is black beans and rice with tostones. he also loves strawberry ice cream and tropical fruits.

he's afro-latino + mixed race, with yoruba (west african) taino (indigenous carribbean islander) and spanish ancestry. his skin tone would be a medium warm brown, maybe a 5 on the fitzpatrick scale. once again the canon design is kinda colorist.

he has a distinct accent and is mutlilingual, and speaks quite a bit of quebecois thanks to matthew.

his body type is buff and chubby, he's wicked strong and built like a tank but doesn't have that much definition bc the chub is hiding it. dad bod.... chest hair and moobs. he's about 6 feet tall. he has long dreadlocks that he's been maintaining since he was young.

i could see him being a lapsed catholic/culturally catholic but personally atheist. he's much more material than spiritual in terms of philosophy.

he smells like coconut, cinnamon and cigars (in a pleasant way)

he mostly dresses casually (hawaiian shirts and cargo shorts lol) if hes just chilling at home he's probably shirtless. earth tones suit him well, so do orange, yellow, pink, and jewel tones. bonus; he wears a gold chain and sometimes rings.

he partakes in alcohol occasionally, when he does he loves rum and fruit-based cocktails. sipping a lil drink on the beach is one of his favorite ways to relax and he deserves it. he does smoke weed recreationally but honestly i think matthew is way more of a stoner.

Sfogliando le variopinte pagine del volume, vi imbatterete in uno sgargiante mosaico composto da volti sorridenti, muri dipinti, musicisti più o meno improvvisati, corpi danzanti, auto decadenti: immagini che riassumono tutto lo spirito di Cuba, raccontato in queste pagine non solo dalle straordinarie foto di Carlo Antiga – che ha saputo cogliere le mille sfaccettature della Habana Vieja – ma anche dai testi delle canzoni che rievocano le musiche che hanno esportato in tutto il mondo il ritmo cubano. Cento immagini che faranno conoscere il fascino decadente della splendida capitale cubana a quanti non hanno ancora avuto modo di visitarla; cento scatti che sapranno rievocare le emozioni del viaggio a quanti vi sono già stati.

The professions that have suffered most in Cuba are those that, in their attempt to adapt to the whims of the government, have had their noble intentions brutally castrated, and arbitrarily reversed. Of these, there is no crime greater than the one committed against journalism - the medical equivalent would have been to tell doctors to allow patients to die, or to call cancer the common cold.

On Aug. 5, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio publicly announced from a senatorial bully pulpit his letter to the FBI accusing illegalities and requesting an investigation of the high school teacher, U.S. military veteran, and Cuban American Carlos Lazo and the remarkable movement that has grown around him appropriately named Puentes de Amor / Bridges of Love.

Cuban Expert: Cuba Progressively Closer to Implosion 

“Cuban economist and demographer Juan Carlos Albizu-Campos believes that Cuba is suffering a cascade of crises that are bringing it progressively closer to ‘implosion.’”[1] “There is an emergency situation that is beyond a health emergency, it is a humanitarian crisis.” And “the loss of some two million inhabitants since 2022, out of a population of 10.5 million, places Cuba in the midst of a…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lola Albright, drummer Tony Allen, the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing, the Billboard Singles Charts (1940), music aficionado & influencer John Bonato, Tantoo Cardinal, Kim Carnes, Paul Cook, Chris Cornell, Omar Epps, Franz Fanon, Tim Ferriss, Jem Finer, Radney Foster, Mort Garson, Stone Gossard, Saginaw Grant, Sir Edmund Hillary, Sally Ann Howes, Iron Butterfly’s 1968 IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA album, Buddy Knox, John Lodge, Mick MacNeil (Simple Minds), Cormac McCarthy, Gregor Mendel, Sandra Oh, Petrarch, Diana Rigg, T.G. Sheppard, the 1961 musical STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF, songwriter Cindy Walker, Natalie Wood, Dennis Yost, and the visionary guitarist and band-leader Carlos Santana. His music has been in my orbit ever since I saw Santana’s sizzling performance in the WOODSTOCK movie. I marvel at his fusion of Latin and world music, jazz, psychedelic rock, and pop, and he’s King of the Long-Sustained Note, milking the full potential of a tone. I didn’t grasp the depth of his music till recent years, amplified because I now live in the San Francisco neighborhood where Santana grew up and I worked with musicians who’ve played with Santana.

In 2009 I was honored to participate in a Santana tribute concert produced by The Uptown Music Collective, performing Santana’s arrangement of “Oye Como Va.” Because of the song’s American, Cuban, Mexican, and Puerto Rican roots, it’s now a badge of interconnectedness and hybridity for Latin music in the USA and beyond. Here we are performing it at the Community Arts Center in Williamsport PA—with “more cowbell” and superb lead guitar by Scott Francis. Meanwhile, thank you Carlos for your years of music-making and bringing people together.
