[native language] all right. we'll return and talk about an event taking place later today to highlight the strong bond between cubans and dominions here in massachusetts. all of that right here on

s longest standing latino social club, in association with two leading dominican organizations, banilejos unidos and fundoarcu, will be hosting an event with great historical significance as they celebrate the bonds that link cuba and the dominican republic through a shared history. now, over 200 are expected to attend later today as the idea is to highlight an already strong bond between cubans and dominicans right here in massachusetts. to tell us more about the event, we have dominican fatima breton and cuban-american alberto calvo - both of whom worked on the organization of the event. welcome to revista hispana. >> this sounds exciting and this is a clip we're going to

see and watch from years from now and say this is the first time this has happened because i can see this grow nothing to massachusetts. >> it definitely has the potential to grow and become something of a tradition in the community. so we're very, very excited about the event. we're very, very excited that it is the brain child coming to life. [laughs] but this is exciting because uniteling two communities who have a shared history and a lot of the shared customs, a lot of shared similarities,. >> that's right. the history goes back to the revolution when cuba deliberated from spain and there were two heroes that are

mow womis born in sant odomingo and his mother was dominican and his siblings too fought in the cuban war of independence. and they were, jose mar tease, usually the person because of the poetry, considered the martyr of cuba, but these two gentlemen were, without them i think cuba would not have been independent from spain. >> and they are dominican descent. >> dominican. >> and at the event later today it will be fair to say that half of the folks there are dominican and the other half are cubans. >> and it has such a relevance because between the two cultures, as you mentioned a while ago, it is so important to keep alive. and for the younger generation also for them to learn and

know about the culture because that's sort of fading and we want to maintain, we want to may want that, we want for them to know about their roots and their history and the linkages between the two cultures. >> i want to give the information because i know it's later today and i know lola, our intern is ready to put this information up on the screen. today, november 8th and it's from 1:00 to 7:00. so we've got to get out of here. table a shower and get ready. >> we do. get ready, changed. you're going to see us totally different and head over to american legion post 440. and this is important because i know part of the deal is not just raise funds for cuban cultural center but membership, you need new blood, right. what's the number. >> as you said the cuban center was formed in 1975 as

latino center and because cubans essentially moved to miami eventualqually this was formed in 75, some has passed away. our membership is dwindling from the cuban side. now it's open, now we have a columbian, which you know these treasurerrer and we have a puerto rican and a member of the director. so we're opening the ubwhich, the center, to other -- so we're opening the club or the center to the caribbeans. >> you'rageively recruiting people from all backgrounds. >> exactly, because latin americans we have so many in common, obviously the language the first thing, but so many other traditions we share, the food, a lot of similarities, so this is very important. and it is open to pretty much anyone who wants to support and be a member. >> well you're going to be surprised at how many cuban

dominicans are in massachusetts or across the country. so cubans who have married or had children with dominicans. >> yes. >> so my daughter, alex, who is 17 is cuban, dominican and ecuadorian too, so she is a big mix, but it hits home because it is that fusion. >> it is the fusion. >> there was a long-time member, she live said in east boston and she called us and says i have four friends that all from sant odoming joe i would like to bring them and she never misses a cuban center, show, so we were excited. >> this is the beginning of something great. >> as you mention cuba, puerto rico and domingo has several ing thes in common.

>> you'd need a biggerm roo, the is good. like the movie jaws we'll need a bigger bowl. [laughs] that's right. >> for the three islands we share so much. there is so much history between the three culters and in the carotene so it will be very impactful and something
