I can never get enough of what you show.. something draws me close to what you are showing.

Just give my bro a Cuban citizenship already 😂

Loved your video Keenan. Just remember that when you visit Cuba you are an outsider. I was born in the US and I am of Cuban descent. I first visited Cuba in 1997 at the age of 28, still had some relatives there from my moms side, and still I was an outsider..! They referred to me as "El Yuma" or even "Gringo"... I also found Cuba and Cubans to be beautiful. I also observed that they never truly share their true feelings or insights. You ate well and even had vegetables..! I've visited my family about a dozen times and never once did they have any vegetables... I understand your point of view, it was mine too initially, until I faced how "backwards" this country actually is. I mean, I was visiting a cousin in Central Havana, I took a shower and when I went to the bedroom to get dressed, the light bulb burned out... Knowing their situation and how poor they were, I decided to go out and buy them a new light bulb! Easy right? I'm an American tourist with $$$. How hard can this be? Well, I took a taxi, went to 5 or 6 so called "Stores" and NOTHING. 5 hours into my hunt for a Light Bulb, I finally found a "Store" with ridiculous prices, but there was a table lamp with the light bulb I was looking for... Girl behind the counter, Sorry Sir we can't sell you just the light bulb. Okay, how much for the table lamp? $10 US dollars. Fine, I bought the lamp, took the light bulb and left the lamp. They all looked at me as if I was insane. Really? All I wanted was the light bulb, didn't even care about the price. I finally returned to my cousin's apartment with the light bulb. Since I had taken so long (almost 5 hrs) they all assumed I had gone out to get "Some"... Bottom line is that there is no correlation to how you think and how they think. BTW. Cuba also has an underground nightlife... Super surprising and most unexpected... I met a "Spoiled Brat" from Cuba and he took me to; Comedy Clubs, Exclusive Night Clubs and even after hours parties. The same kind you find in Miami Beach, VIP all the way..! Guys and girls all tricked out, arriving in Mercedes Benzs and limos. I was like WTF? These elites are mostly the children of Generals and Colonels if you catch my drift... Conclusion... Cuba may be poor, it may be considered a third world country, but in reality... Cuba is a totally different PLANET..!

Bro I’m from Pittsburgh and I’ve seen only been to Dominican Republic but watching your videos get me excited every time. I’m going to Columbia on June 21 but I’m going make my way to Cuba eventually!

Yea bredda, mi already booked dat ticket 🥳🥳🥳

Beautiful episode, Keenan. I enjoyed the music aspect of this video especially. Those musicians are so multitalented!

Love the video my brother. That lady in the blue and white with short hair🔥🔥🔥🔥. On serious note your videos are very informative

I love the live Cuban music. Adds more of an authentic caribean feel. I definitely need to learn some of these rhythamic and shifty salsa dances. Continue uploading these gems 👍🔥

Where is the list of food/restaurants

You definitely got me ready to book a flight ✈️. Any help with that place you recommend to stay would be awesome 👏. New sub here definitely enjoying your content ! Thx 🙏

Keenan nice to see you get on the Razor's panel the other night and to see your adding subscribers. Keep doing your thing. We appreciate you!

Once again, Bravo! Hey I love the music in the rhythms ....one vote in favor. Are you there now near June? Super hot for a NYer?

Love your content and the format...keep up the good work...

I follow you on IG and had a few conversations with you, it’s certain parts you were in that I didn’t see. I gotta go back for sure now !!!

Once again another Gem 💎 congrats 🎉🍾🎊

Thank you for adding the music to the description. I like listening to the full version when I work.

Bro the way you are able to switch from history to music to culture is next level your format is always flawless I really enjoy your videos bro keep em coming

Man what a ride! "La Musica es Vida" ! I loved the band and can't wait to get there! my plan is to spend a few days there in the Fall of 2025. Safe travels mi hermano!

Once again another gem 💎 Great Content 🍾💎🎊

Amazing video!!!!! i cannot wait to go there in october:)

Watching your videos from France 🇫🇷, love your contents g

Keenan, I love your videos and can't get enough of it, my friend. 💥👍🍺

Statically? I love it. I think the music in general is what sets the tone and the mood. The fact that Cuba isn't as fully explored or as exposed to the rest of the world means most people's true appreciation and connection with Cuba is the music. At least the initial thing that draws people in. Keep it coming, boss 😁

Keep living the dream bro, thanks for another great content.

Aye hope your in havana cuba june 21st-24th for the dc music exchange concerts which will showcase the dmv go go music and local cuban artists! They were in cuba a couple of months ago. If your not familiar with go go music its congo drums and live instrumentation! Come check it out my brother. Itll be my first trip to cuba to see family and vibe out! Respect✊🏾💯

Mr. Barry White himself. Great video bruh!

The bit with the live music was great. Definitely a vibe to catch out there, nice music, chillin at a cafe. Just enjoying the moment.

Awesome, so when you travel there, do you take dollars or do you exchange there? Keep doing your thing, my brother

We will be back in Cuba in 11 days. I will be hitting Sabarita… thanks for the tip.

Hey bro I'm your friend on Facebook I'm going on the 15th too see my girlfriend in cuba how long will you be there? I go about every 2 months

Dang! This channel is so under rated. Share your love with the country 100%

Keenan, Very Nice: Tks. much.

They got Usher playing the drums out there (beginning of the video) 😂

Hey brother I grew up in bklyn too. I can't speak Spanish but we all would jam to the music that the Puerto Ricans would play. It's the rhythm of the music, it's the universal language.

Love the content

sh!ts lookin' dope, fam

I went to Cuba because of you Keenan shout outs to you !!!

Love the live music on this one 👌🏾

✊🏾🖤

Yow keanan,can you recommend any good restaurants in Havana where I can get good whole lobster and fish,I have been there two times but can't get any really good food..

I love it! Man I loved the band!

“Respect your ancestors.” I like that you added that in. ✊🏽

How is mr Jefferson doing, Man peso was 395 when I was there and now is 295 😅

I'm from the u.s. virgin islands and I love Latin and Cariben music

You make me want to go every time I watch your videos

Do you know how much the Cuban exchange rate is rn?

Keenan I nvr ventured outside of Havana, but I feel you on the energy there.

Ill be out there for a week soon, i got to many ladies line up, might have to hide. i will check that restaurant out though.

Can you recommend a place to stay

Nothine. Like. Street. Music. In. Cuba. We. Are. The. Best

Never get enough of your volgs, how’s Mr. Jefferson the old man you befriended, hope he is doing well ❤😊

Viva Cuba

Oh yeah, I remember the girl who beckoned me with "Come Papi!"

How do we as americans can have access to go to cuba??any restrictions brotha??

I'm coming to Cuba June 15th ain't gone lie a little nervous

Go to Playa and Miramar. Cuba has many flavours. Personally I do not like Old Habana or Centro Habana. I enjoy more Nuevo Vedado, Vedado, Playa and Miramar. Try Playa Salado (Salao) - Once very nice.

Where to change USD?

CUBA OR CARTAGENA WHICH ONE DO YOU RECOMMEND TRAVELING TO FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE

Brotha man Sup2 from Sydney Australia

Your Cuban videos are the best. more of Mr. Jefferson

I'm enjoying your videos bro. I'm a Cuba vet and Vedado and new Vedado are hidden jems if you speak Spanish. Not as touristic as Centro and Viejo.

How can I get a hold of the lady on your videos, need to plan a vacation there.

Im down with the culture and the random music sessions

For all that is wrong with Cuba, it gets under your skin, like you I love it so ..... but I like eating too. Lots of new paladars since covid, though with exception of Biky, I have not seen you eat at the restaurants I eat at..... and i think there are only a few things you can eat at Biky. Pizza and pasta are not good there. In all my years, I have stayed in Vedado with exception of a couple of times in Cayo Hueso. The aromas are less rich in Vedado, especially now with the lack of sanitation services. Cuban Jazz is fantastic ! I was lucky to be hanging around Havana lots when Bill Wolfer was going through his Cuba phase. I would regularly see him at various venues playing piano, half cut with the biggest smile going. Too bad his blog is no longer up as it was a great read. That was when the air was electric

oh shoot i follow raylon... last time i watched his video last week, he had a hard time finding a room to rent because of his budget :( ..so sad.. hope hes well??

Cuba!!!!! Great content!

I was there again from the 17th-24th of May. I agree capitalism is on the rise. The government made it legal in 2021.

Is there internet good enough to work online?

Keenan love the music man

So we not beautiful people to take to Sabarita? 😂😂 Rooftop restautants definitely the scene! ❤

Hi keenan missed you again was their for 10 days just got home now Andy kilo uk

I ran to this video Bro…👀 👀 😂 👍🏼

1:00 pause bad to the left. that's exactly what i need to. i might book a flight.

I love your videos compañero

Gracias por la inspiración mi hermano

Hi Keenan. Greetings again from Rostock.

Cuban 🎶 music, great culture

Cuba where western underdogs feel like kings ...!!!👀

As i sit here thinking, I am wondering why China hasn't reached out to Cuba as a fellow communist nation , and invested in the island? I know about the embargo, but surely the U.S. wouldn't want to start a war over other communist nations becoming allies with Cuba! Or better yet, why don't the BRICS nations recruit Cuba into their burgeoning conglomerate and help build that nation back into what it should be by now, which is a beautiful island paradise tourist attraction?? Just wondering, It is a shame what the U.S. has been allowed to bully Cuba all these years because Castro wouldn't allow those racist ass gangsters to treat his people like crap while they got rich off of them. SMH, this country( U.S.) is such hypocrites when it really comes to right and wrong!!

Is 1200 dollars enough for 5 days in Cuba 🇨🇺🤔

Yessir 👍🏼 🫡
