Some famous Cubans are bandleader and entertainment mogul Desi Arnaz, husband of Lucille Ball; bandleader Xavier Cugat (who was born in Spain, but grew up in Cuba) and in truth, many others. However, you shouldn't think in terms of "Cubans contributions to the US", per se, but "Cubans contribution to the rest of the world". Cuba has produced many artists, poets, and singers. It did not, until recently, have a very 'technical' or industrial culture, but instead was agricultural and 'low tech'. Cuba has been run by the Communists of Fidel and Raul Castro since the early 1950s, with much support from the Soviet Union until that country's demise in the early 1990s, and since then has been helped by Communist China and Venezuela. Small free-market reforms have been put in place to help alleviate shortages caused by poor central planning. For example, in 2010, Cubans were allowed to build their own houses for the first time in over half a century.
