Abstract

If we were looking for a country of creative people, it would definitely be Cuba. To understand the creativity of Cubans means not only to know the nature and history of a country that has undergone a completely different historical, social and political development than other countries, but also the impact of the economic embargo that affected the lives of one generation and gave rise to a specific mentality and creativity of the islanders. The emergence of specific peculiarities is most evident and further accelerates in the so called A specific period after 1989. The paper is prepared with a synergistic approach, where we describe the specific creative skills of the present as a continuation of past developments and the impact of the natural environment and socio economic as well as political conditions.
