  1. Prepositionalpronouns Cuba is home to 11 million people and lies only 90 miles off the coast of the United States. Until the US severed ties with Cuba after Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1959, Cuba was a major weekend tourist destination for Americans and it was known for its thriving night life. There was all-night music and dancing at clubs and the music is particularly famous and continues to be popular. The Cubans call their unique sound “son.” Check out these links to hear some!
