Tagged: Cuba, Cuban, Spanglish“Twenty-three years ago, Al Pacino did a fair job at portraying a Miami mobster with a thick Spanish accent in the movie Scarface.

Most of the rhythmic grooves he raps over have some sort of Afro-Cuban flavor, and Spanglish is freely used in a way that outdistances most of his Latino rap competitors.”
