- In this video-documentary we’ll be viewing some beautiful places in Havana and other cities of Cuba while revisiting part of the Cuban-European heritage, a comprised account and highlights of the Irish immigration to the island, the things, cities and towns they helped build and their influence on the Spanish-European derived Cultural side of that country.
Irish visitors to Cuba often remark on the identification they feel with the warmth and sense of fun of ordinary Cubans. After all, 80% of Spanish Cubans descend from Celtic influenced provinces of Spain such as Galicia and Asturias.
The history of the Irish in Cuba can be traced to the early years of the Spanish conquest of America. There are many curious and fascinating links between the two island nations of Ireland and Cuba.
Of the Irish that settled in Cuba, many of them and their families became an integral and important part of Cuban society and its history. Many were given Nobel titles by the Spanish Crown or inserted themselves in to Cuban Nobility by marriage. They were very active in Cuba’s political world, the Irish immigration to the island greatly contributed to build Cuba’s infrastructure.

Beautiful documentary! Thank you!

Gracias, Armando.
Thank you, Armando. I love the Music, Memories & History of Our Land.
Thank you for such a beautiful video! I'm a descendant of the Duany family.
I'm a descendant of the Kingdom of Colla from Ireland my dad's side from Camaguey. Also my grandmother on my mom's side Irish "Lenox" from Santi Espiritu. The rest Spanish of course. I was born in Camaguey. Well, that makes me a princess you see haha! I just found out last year and all the time we thought the name was French. Not. lol Irish it is!
Just going through all your videos, I am finding your work is especially well done ! Great to view and learn. I have only been to Cuba once, in 1988, and would go in a heartbeat again if I could ! The only other place I have been is Ireland ! Odd how that worked out !
Anyway glad you are doing something to save the Cuban traditions and heritage. It is sad to see what is happening to my Island in the Sun !
❤️ 🇨🇦 ✌️
great programming, Arturo!
muchisimas gracias!!!

i have truly enjoyed these videos of yours. matter of fact, i have sent them forward to members of my family who experienced Cuba the Beautiful; Then! - muchisimas gracias, Armando!!!!!
I was born and raised in cuba, my paternal grandmother was a Jordan. I came to California 51 years ago looking for other Latinos with the Jordan last name, no look. A dna test told me that most of my dna test told me that I am mostly spa ish to go
I love this. Thanks. (Maria Watson is my pen name)
This is very interesting. Did 2 separate dna tests which confirmed Irish/English heritage. Perhaps this is why
Regards FALANGES07. very possible, mine came back with some Irish heritage also, my mother's family is from Galicia, my dad's from Asturias, Northern Spain with a lot of ties to celtic roots, the rest Italian, Spanish, other Mediterranean and so forth, probably from a Castilian grandmother.
I have roots in Galicia, Catalan the Canary Islands as well as Italian and the Mediterranean. Not to mention the British/Irish/Scottish. I still find it incredible. I recently visited Spain 🇪🇸. I went to Madrid, Toledo and Segovia. It felt natural and as if I belonged there.
Likewise, I feel quite at home in Spain, a have relatives there and stay with them but, really in most of Europe. I feel good in Cuba also but there I have to cherry pick, it's horrible and a true shame what "they" have done to this place. We are trying to recuperate some of our old culture, I'm starting a cultural centre in Miami and hopefully later in Havana, The Old Cuba Club, for this purpose, I am making a series of videos toward this end, check them out when you have a chance. Regards FALANGES07.
I will check them out and thank you for doing this. We cannot lose our culture. I will hopefully be able to go to Cuba 🇨🇺 in the near future as well. I live in Miami also feel what they’ve done to Cuba is horrible. To lose the heritage is criminal. I will be checking out all your vids. Thanks again brother.
It's going to be a lot of hard work but there is a renewed interest also by the office of the historian of Havana, we just have to bring it to the people, especially to those in Cuba who's heritage is Spanish or from other parts of Europe and they have sold then the idea that they are somehow African???? I'll keep you posted when the club is up and running, I'm thinking next year. Thanks my friend.
