except in years of drought or sugarcane
blight, increased after the introduction of
mechanized harvesters in the early 1970s but

held in common by most Cubans is referred to as
mainstream. Cuban culture, a Western culture
largely derived from the traditions of Western
European migrants, beginning with the early

African cultural component which has been
somewhat influential, with many Afro-Cubans also
being of Jamaican or other Afro-Caribbean origin.
