Afro-Cubans are Cubans who are of Black African ancestry, mostly West

and Central African. The term Afro-Cuban can also refer to historical

or cultural elements in Cuba thought to emanate from this community

and the combining of native African and other cultural elements found

in Cuban society such as race, religion, music, language, the arts and

class culture.According to a 2012 national census which surveyed 11.2

million Cubans, 1 million Cubans described themselves as Afro-Cuban or

Black, while 3 million considered themselves to be "mulatto" or

"mestizo". Thus a significant proportion of those living on the island

affirm some African ancestry. The matter is further complicated by the

fact that a fair number of people still locate their origins in

specific native African ethnic groups or regions, particularly the

Yoruba (or Lucumí; see Olukumi people), Akan, Arará and Kongo, but

also Igbo, Carabalí, Mandingo, Kissi, Fula, Makua and others.A study

from 2014 estimated the genetic admixture of the population of Cuba to

be 70% European, 22% African and 8% Native American.
