I’m puertorican and the music played by the guy with that corded instrument is exactly the same as jibaro music my grandpa used to play. It is uncanny.
I am Puerto Rican I’ve always wondered where our Spanish accent came from and after much research I found out my family originates in the Canary Islands. We basically speak identical to them except for some of the indigenous words we’ve added to our language. I find this very fascinating
Thanks Raquel.. I made this video for people like you. I’m glad you found in. Also the Andalusian accent (mostly Sevilla) mixed with the canarian accent is what created the Puerto Rican accent
Will your not Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain your Americans now speak English you come from British people this is the Spanish family ♥️🇨🇴🇵🇦🇨🇷🇸🇻🇬🇹🇳🇮🇻🇪🇪🇨🇵🇾🇨🇱🇺🇾🇬🇶🇵🇪🇧🇴🇦🇷🇭🇳🇲🇽🇪🇸🇩🇴🇨🇺🇦🇩🇳🇱♥️
Cubans and Puerto Ricans have ancestry from the Canary islands. I'm Boricua and in my family we have last names like Morales and Martinez, both Canarian.
I'm half Puerto Rican and Dominican and no wonder i used to think some Spaniards sounded like us lol. My family from my spanish side comes from The Canary Islands, Madrid, Asturias and Galicia. My African side comes from west Africa and then I got some taino as well.
@TheTramos They are spaniards, just mixed.The canary islands were colonized by spaniards and intermixed hence why they speak spanish. You can say the same thing about latin america and also the reason you can find white hispanics there.
Awesome video. I have Dominican parents and I can understand everything they are saying. Sounds like a clean Caribbean accent to me. As a US citizen I want to retire in Tenerife.
My mom’s maternal grandparents went to Cuba from the Canary Islands. I’m not sure where in Spain my dad’s ancestors came to Cuba from, but I hope to visit the Canary Islands when I retire to research my roots. We had to leave Cuba after the communist revolution, and now live in Southern California. I love your videos. Thank you for making such informative content for those of us that come from all over!
@Victor Perdona: los canarios somos los españoles que vivimos en Canarias. Tú te refieres a los GUANCHES. Es como confundir a los americanos caucásicos con los indios.
I remember when I was a kid hearing my maternal grandfather telling stories about the people of the Canary Islands even though he was born in Cuba. He used to say that when he was a small boy there were many "Canarios" or "Isleños" living in Cuba. On both my mother's side and my dad's side I have roots that are from the Canary Islands. Greetings from Miami, Florida. ⛱️ 👋
Wow what a story! That’s the reason I made this video because I know there’s so many people that have this story that you have. It’s just a matter of people seeing the video! It’s important to understand our roots. Carlos, how did you find this video?
@@AdventureElliot I was channel surfing UA-cam and saw your video. Because of my grandfather I've always been curious about the Canary Islands and its people's.
I learned a lot from this video. Made me a subscriber. Because I haven’t met many Spaniards in the US I never thought of them as having an influence in the modern Caribbean world. I always went back to the conquistadors for that historical reference. I have learned how wrong I was.
Mi abuelo era tinerfeño llego a Puerto Rico como comerciante y agricultor se establecio donde mayormente se establecian los canarios en Puerto Rico en Hatillo y Utuado
Dud, when I heard people talking, I thought I was back home in Puerto Rico. Holy moly. It’s almost identical to my accent. Specifically the two young ladies at the beginning of the video.
Wao Elliot que lindo video, me emocione mucho. Yo soy de Puerto Rico y me identifique mucho con esta historia. La musica "jibara" que escojiste para el video, Mi Borinquen, me traslado a mi islita linda y bella. Los caribeños somos hermanos y tenemos tanto en comun con las islas Canaria y con la peninsula tambien. Hermano sigue hacia adelante con tus videos lo estas haciendo muy bien. Y nosotros lo apreciamos.
Yo sabía que te iba a gustar hermano. Y es verdad.. Si puedes visitar las canarias, sentirias algo especial con su esencia y etorno.. Tambien creo que te gustaria Andalucía mucho.. La gente es muy calida y viven un estilo de vida que se parece un poco al del caribe y hispanoamerica.. Un saludo amigo. Compartelo con otros Puertorriqueños si puedes.

I just put all the pieces together as a cuban born (half cuban-mums side) whos roots are from canary islands. I never knew the way we spoke was from there, I thought cubans brought it to las canarias but indeed it is the other way around :) My mum, myself and our family are currently in the process of becoming spanish dual citizens. (grew up here in canada) ready to move and dive deeper into my roots! thanks for this awesome video, Elliot!
Elliot excellent video! My grandparents on my mom's side went to Cuba from the Canary Islands and never went back, my grandparents from my dad's side came from Galicia, (they all died in Cuba) two poor regions of Spain during the 1920's and 1930's before and after the Spanish civil war, that is why most of the lingo in the Caribbean, is the same as that of the Canary Islands.

I love Gran Canaria, I lived there for 3 years and visit it often, what a place to be, swim and sunbathe on new years day while europe is freezing cold 🥶
Hello Alvaro. This was my first “official” sponsor. I wouldn’t have accepted it if I didn’t agree with their school. Anyways, I’m starting to realize that is small creators need sponsors because the chance of becoming a viral UA-camr is just so slim. My channel is too niche and I want to focus on quality instead of things that cater to the masses. I’m glad you understand, thanks for commenting.
Que bueno el video brother, deberías buscar información sobre los isleños de Lousiana de St.Croix, descendientes directos de canarios que hablaban con acento canario hasta principios del siglo XX For english speakers: the isleños from the St.Croix island in Lousiana are direct descendants of canary islanders who spoke with the canary islands accent 'till the early 20th century, a very interesting slice of american (and canarian) history.
Wonderful video Elliot! Truly amazing to learn about the connection with the islands and the Americas including San Antonio! I was just in San Antonio last week should have a few videos coming out soon! Safe travels my friend
Thanks for watching! Next year I want to really explore the Canary Islands more in depth. Maybe I’ll look into a motorcycle to go around the islands. Take care.

Thanks Elliott, Great videos. Lingoda is exactly what I have been seeking. I just retired, young, and moved from Michigan to South Florida. Four years of high school Spanish and an undergrad minor in Spanish opened many doors for me. I just need the conversational practice in a controlled environment. I’m planning an extended trip through Spain as my reward! First stop, Malaga - go figure.
Hello Dave. How did you find my videos? Awesome to here. Spanish will serve you in Florida but especially Spain :) I can vouch for Lingoda, the professors are great! Thanks for commenting.
@@AdventureElliot I believe my Google searches on travel through Spain, Spanish language classes and watching other UA-camrs that have left the U.S. triggered the algorithm that dropped you into my recommendations. A win-win. You are living my dream. I’m now a subscriber! Y, también en Florida, se hablan Español. En muchas veces, ayudo los “gringos” y traduzco. Ha sido 34 anós desde hablé Español cada día puedo recuerdo mucho. Pero, no recuerdo todos los verbos or tenso del verbos and cuando usar. Leyendo y oyendo, no hay problema. Hablando, más difícil . Gracias.
In in Costa Rica now.. maybe when I get to Cuba and PR I’ll do a follow up.. but honestly from a time and effort and cost standpoint, these types of videos don’t pay the travel bills.. I’m very passionate about it so while I’m traveling there I’ll surely make videos talking about the Spanish there but to dedicate an entire video won’t be worth it. Thanks for watching
Thanks so much! I put everything into these videos and my goal is to have fun but also educate a bit. Thanks for watching! I have a lot of videos already but I haven’t even scratched the surface with LATAM! Hopefully heading back there this summer
Hey Elliot, really good work with these videos. I love how you use the images, the people, and the stories and filter them through the lens of Spanish and Latin American history. It gives the videos a depth that is rarely found on UA-cam. As someone born in Chile, raised in Malaga (Fuengirola), and Connecticut, I really appreciated these vids. My parents returned to Fuengirola a few years back. I am planning a trip to Spain in Dec and taking mom and dad to Las Palmas Gran Canarias for 8 days. What do you think? 4 nights in Las Palmas? and 4 nights in Maspalomas? What are some "must" visit hidden gems?
4 nights in Maspalomas is a bit much unless you want to eat and relax on the beach all day. I would honestly just rent a car and take day trips to mountain villages, Tunte, tejeda, terror, Puerto Rico or any town on the north green side. See my other videos from the hike I did; ua-cam.com/video/kFL4k98yHW8/v-deo.html By the way, I live in Malaga and I’m gonna be making more videos there soon (in fuengirola).. take care!
There were also Canary Islanders who went to Louisiana and Texas. There is an Isleño festival every year in Louisiana, and in San Antonio, Texas, they also celebrate Canary Island culture every years at the annual Fiesta celebrations in the city.
What's fascinating to me is, if you're Central American. You can hear our accent in this too. Some of the Canarios drop their s like we do and have a whispering tone. Rafael sounds like the older people from San Salvador who were culturally higher class. My jaw dropped hearing him speak. What I think may have happened was, when the five countries were one nation (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica). The Spanish elite each brought with them some form of their accents. But unlike the Carribean, there wasn't a massive wave of strictly Canary immigration. Also explains why Voseo is extensively used in Centroamerica, and its not in the Carribean. Layer on each nation's ethnic mixing, even their accents had evolved differently. The notable three with the closest are El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In parts of Costa Rica they still have some of it, but overall theirs had changed too. It's amazing to hear that man speak, and while it's not identical, it reminded me of the older people I knew growing up.
Tremendo video Elliott, muy informativo! Soy boricua (nacido y criado), pero llevo más de 23 años en USA (Maryland, right smack between Baltimore and DC; I know you were in this area recently; I’m subscribed to your channel…lol). Con el contenido interesantísimo que tienes en tu canal, vas a llegar a tener un montón de subscribers ya mismo. De hecho, gracias a tu contenido, y al de otros UA-camrs (Anita con Swing, Spain Revealed, España total, entre otros) me influenciaron grandemente para que me decidiera a coger mis vacaciones in España! Voy para España con mi familia el mes que viene (si Dios quiere). No tenía a Málaga en mi radar de ciudades para visitar, pero estoy considerando seriamente ir pa’lla! Keep up the excellent work hermano!
Boricua!! Vamos!! I’m so happy the right people are finding this channel.. poco a poco. I’m just so fascinated with the cultural, linguistic, and historical connection between Spain and the Americas. I hope more Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Dominicans see this video because I know there are MILLIONS living in the USA.. it’s just a matter of them finding the video.. how?! I’m glad you found my channel and others, and I hope you can enjoy your vacation in Spain. I’m going back to the north soon and I highly recommend the north for some fresh weather and beautiful nature in summer. Otherwise, I think you would love the Canary Islands and wherever else you decide to go.. take care!!

A very well made video with a very scholarly yet easily understood explanation; I was born in Puerto Rico in 1961 and my grandmother on my father's side, Carmen Abreu Serrano, who was born in 1893 in the western town of Isabela and passed away in 1986 in the capital city of San Juan, remembered stories passed down to her by her own grandparents about family events and anecdotes from her ancestors before they came to Puerto Rico from the Canary Islands around the year 1800.

This is so cool. I am from PR (born and raised) and according to 23andMe, my Spanish heritage is Canary islands first, and then Andalucía. I wish I knew which ancestor came from the islands and gave me the Canarias heritage 😊

I’m Cuban most of my ancestry is from Canary Islands according to my mom. I also have a basque great great grandfather who fought in Cubas independence.
I only had 1 Canary Island ancestor and they came from Santa Cruz de Tenerife and have one of those common surnames Betancourt. Most of my ancestors came from Galicia in particular.
There are many tall and blond people in the Canarian Islands due to their Guanche (original inhabitants of the archipelago) origin. Many blond Puerto Ricans descend from Canarians.
Great Elliot!!!! Happy that you feel so much love for my tiny Country!!! José Martí, líder de la independencia cubana escribió que Cuba y Puerto Rico eran dos alas de un mismo pájaro. Creo que se le olvidó decir que el nido de ese pájaro eran las Islas Canarias. ❤🇵🇷❤🇨🇺❤🇮🇨

My paternal grandmother was born in Tenerife. I am Cuban but currently live in the United States. Would like to visit that Island some day. My goal is to find where exactly on that Island my grandmother was born.
Hello Josè awesome, thanks for commenting. That’s why I made this video, for people like you. The island is extraordinarily beautiful and it’s a must visit for many reasons. I hope you can find where she was born. There are many villages on the island and I’ve got other videos on my channel documenting the rural parts of the island and the capital
Iban y venían en barco como si fueran en guagua. El abuelo de mi papá iba a Cuba a llevarles gofio y otros gustos a su familia que se quedó allí a cultivar el tabaco en Pinar del Río. Antiguamente Puerto Rico y Canarias eran los primeros/ últimos puertos para recoger suministros y defenderse de los piratas.
Puerto Rican Spanish is not complicated. We belong to the Royal Academy for the Spanish language to cleanse and fix the language since 1955. Please do your research before you comment!
What was so ironic to me in high school and currently in college, was the fact that all of my Spanish teachers were all White Americans. However, I would drive them crazy because instead of the Castillian Spanish they were trying to teach us, we would flood them with Puerto Rican and Dominican dialects that would have them dizzy. Many of us thought that we knew Spanish but in reality... We all spoke Broken Inner City Ghetto Spanglish and we all got C's and D's in the Class. Go figure! LMAFO! I graduated with an associate degree last year, and currently, I'm enrolled at a 4-year local university studying part-time for a bachelor's Degree. I was a 4.0 student. However, I received a C in my foreign language Spanish elective... My GPA went down to a 3.8
I'm really interested how far this actually goes. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, but my parents are from Aruba (carribean island close to Venezuela). I've been raised as an Arubian and also speak Papiamento. Lot's of people from Aruba have roots in Venezuela. I went to La Palma in 2019 (before the eruption of the Vulcano) and i'm not sure what it was, but I felt like this was my home instantly. The weather, the people, the Spanish they speak, the food. Since the first day that I have arrived, I said to my ex)girlfriend that La Palma is where I want to live in the future and the feeling remained until today. I think the migration between the canaries, the carribean and Venezuela went further than just the Spanish speaking countries and Aruba might be a great example of an island where the main language is Papiamento but feels so entirely different than Curaçao or Bonaire. The Papiamento from Aruba is also more based on the Spanish grammar than the other islands, which are more African based.
Puerto Ricans on average look more like Spaniards of North African descent and speak similar to them yes we're mostly African since we're also mixed with black Africans
Un abogado cubano ha reclamado la doble nacionalidad para cubanos y puertorriqueños, ya que se les retiro por el tratado de París de 1898 ,saludos desde Canarias 🇨🇺🇪🇸🇵🇷🇮🇨
Fermin's accent sounded Andalucian or just so strong had difficulty understanding some simple words. Did you really refer people to the video where you wussed out on finishing the milk? LOL
He didn’t speak fast like Andalusian but he definitely spoke rural canarian Spanish. Super cool. I love exploring rural places and the fact it’s an island makes it even more unique. I can’t wait until I explore Puerto Rico, DR, and hopefully Cuba
I think it’s the other way around. The Spanish from the Caribbean islands isn’t complicated at all. The Spanish language arrived to the rest of Latin America many years later. The Caribbean islands are home to the first Spanish settlements and not the other way around.
Y muchas palabras comunes como guagua ( autobús) o tonga ( apilamiento de cosas, o mucha cantidad). Como canario te doy las Gracias por tus reportajes, son geniales
I’m half Dominican and half Jamaican the Dominican side of my family comes from Canary Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Castille y Leon, Murcia, and Andalusia.
I´,m still waiting you in Gibraltar bro, when do you come??? So i have days off in a couple of weeks, tell me something i can go to Malaga or like you want! hugs bro!
Elliot, you just keep getting hotter in every video. Your fine body, guapetón arms and legs, hombre puro. You’re a very sexy guy, hands like a god. Another excellent video filled with you and the beautiful sites and sounds of Spain. Appreciate you and your hard work.
This so relieving to me because I have started to doubt my fluency in Spanish because the majority of people that I hear speaking with others or me communicating with them are Puerto Rican or Dominican in my region.There are many times that I have a lot of difficulty understanding them. It's frustrating cuz I have learned Spanish that is more Mexican, Central American or parts of South America which sounds quite different from what I hear all the time.Sometimes it sounds like they are speaking a totally different language and I get frustrated with myself for not understanding them well.
La migration canaria a Santo Domingo (hoy Republica Dominicana) es mucho mas antigua que la de Cuba o Venezuela por eso es poco mencionada. Al primer sitio del nuevo mundo que los canarios fueron fue a Santo Domingo. Tan significante fue ese flujo migratorio que hoy gran parte de los pueblo dominicanos fueron fundados o repoblado luego de ser abandonados por canarios. Hast all primer presidente dominicano, Pedro Santana, fue de padres canarios. Por mi parte, el padre de mi abuela era hijo de canarios nacido en San Jose de Ocoa, Rep Dominicana.
Hola Sonny gracias por tu comentario. Por cierto, hice otro vídeo que muestra la plaza de Santo Domingo en las palmas de Gran Canaria mostrando esta conexión: ua-cam.com/video/3yWV72ibwEs/v-deo.html
La mayoría de pueblos de La Cordillera Central en República Dominicana fueron fundados por Canarios, y durante mucho tiempo permanecieron aislados por su ubicación geográfica, las montañas más altas del Caribe, que los ayudó a evadir la ocupación haitiana 1822-1844. Hoy día todavía sus habitantes conservan muchas características genéticas, fenotípicas y culturales de los canarios. La mayoría llegaron entre mediados y finales del siglo XVIII (1700s).
@@nydomirican6193 Sí, el dominicano promedio es una mezcla de un canario y un africano. la mayoría de los dominicanos blancos y mestizos, especialmente del Cibao, son descendientes de canarios, el cibao recibió una inmigración masiva de las islas canarias. Mi padre nació en un campo a las afueras de santiago y toda la población eran predominantemente dominicanos blancos de ascendencia canaria.
@@nicholasnunez6751 También en el Cibao aparecen las personas con mayor ADN indígena. Sobretodo los habitantes de la sierra por su relativo aislamiento en el que vivieron sus habitantes durante décadas.
Pero hay muchos años más que la conquista.. el siglo 18-20 fueron Liu importantes y no consistieron en conquistas sino inmigración porque españa estaba mal económicamente
@@AdventureElliot Investiga sobre los dos acentos dominantes en España, castellano y sevillano, y por qué en Sudamérica hablan una especie de derivación de este último. Entre los conquistadores había muchos canarios, cuyo acento dominante era el sevillano. Eso no tiene nada que ver con tener vínculos con lo caribeño más allá de que fuimos sus conquistadores. En las inmigraciones posteriores el acento ya estaba implantado desde hacía siglos, con sus modismos propios. Btw, los que más emigraron a Sudamérica fueron los gallegos. En Canarias, emigrar se consideraba mal.
@@alhv1352 tu tienes razón pero el punto de vídeo es que la conexión entre los países/islas caribeños (+ venezuela) vino de las canarias que fueran conquistadores o inmigrantes por la inmigración seguía muchos años después de la conquista.. y el grupo principal de inmigrantes fueron los Canarios y sí los gallegos.. pero gallegos se fueron a todos lados incluso argentina. El punto es que aunque las canarias geográficamente son pequeños, su huella es grande.. el video no se trata de moral sino lo que sucedió
@@AdventureElliot Supongo que tú no te consideras inglés, o irlandés, aunque tus antepasados emigraron a EEUU. Eres americano. En el sentido opuesto, el hecho de que mis antepasados participaran en la conquista y que posteriormente un grupo de canarios en malas condiciones socioeconómicas tuviesen que emigrar a Sudamérica ( la emigración se consideraba una bajeza), no significa que haya "vínculo" alguno con el país receptor. En mi familia no emigró nadie (no nos hacía falta, afortunadamente) y no considero que tenga ninguna relación con nada relativo al Caribe. Somos de España, país de Europa, y las raíces que tenemos son españolas y por lo tanto europeas en todos los sentidos. Repito: España descubrió y conquistó esos territorios para los Reyes Católicos e implantó su idioma en estos (especialmente la rama sevillana de la lengua). Punto. (Mi tatarabuelo era irlandés, con título nobiliario y educado en el Trinity Colllege. Como hubo muchos irlandeses pobres que emigraron a EEUU, ¿entonces mi abuelo era americano? ¿Yo soy americana? WTF!).
@@alhv1352 soy americano estadounidense pero tengo un libro que muestra mis antepasados de Suecia, Czechia, e Irlanda y mis bisabuelos les enseñaron a mi madre y mis tíos su cultura, comida, etc. hay mucha cultura europea en EEUU.. y hay mucho cultura Europeo-espanol en el caribe y venezuela y Argentina sobretodo.. cómo viste en este video, muchos canarios tienen padres o abuelos que vivieron en cuba o venezuela recientemente por lo tanto hay muchos similitudes y el léxico solo es uno de ellos. Ellos no tuvieron nada que ver con la conquista porque estamos hablando del siglo 20. Saludos

Wao Elliot que lindo video, me emocione mucho. Yo soy de Puerto Rico y me identifique mucho con esta historia. La musica "jibara" que escojiste para el video, Mi Borinquen, me traslado a mi islita linda y bella. Los caribeños somos hermanos y tenemos tanto en comun con las islas Canaria y con la peninsula tambien. Hermano sigue hacia adelante con tus videos lo estas haciendo muy bien. Y nosotros lo apreciamos.
Yo sabía que te iba a gustar hermano. Y es verdad.. Si puedes visitar las canarias, sentirias algo especial con su esencia y etorno.. Tambien creo que te gustaria Andalucía mucho.. La gente es muy calida y viven un estilo de vida que se parece un poco al del caribe y hispanoamerica.. Un saludo amigo. Compartelo con otros Puertorriqueños si puedes.

I just put all the pieces together as a cuban born (half cuban-mums side) whos roots are from canary islands. I never knew the way we spoke was from there, I thought cubans brought it to las canarias but indeed it is the other way around :) My mum, myself and our family are currently in the process of becoming spanish dual citizens. (grew up here in canada) ready to move and dive deeper into my roots! thanks for this awesome video, Elliot!
There’s more where that came from!
Elliot excellent video! My grandparents on my mom's side went to Cuba from the Canary Islands and never went back, my grandparents from my dad's side came from Galicia, (they all died in Cuba) two poor regions of Spain during the 1920's and 1930's before and after the Spanish civil war, that is why most of the lingo in the Caribbean, is the same as that of the Canary Islands.
Hola amigo.. that’s why I made this video because I knew there were people like you.. curious about their family roots 👌🏻
I loved the way you combined historical research with interviews to people with related experiences... and they appear in the video credits! 😁👏👏👏
Thanks so much for the feedback 😊

Great vid Elliot, I love the way you travel and explain all the history of the places you go, keep up the great work! Greetings from Los Angeles Ca

As a Cuban we speak like canary island people is crazy how our accent is the same I didn’t knew that so beautiful ❤
Nice to see You have already sponsors. Keep the good work
Hello Alvaro. This was my first “official” sponsor. I wouldn’t have accepted it if I didn’t agree with their school. Anyways, I’m starting to realize that is small creators need sponsors because the chance of becoming a viral UA-camr is just so slim. My channel is too niche and I want to focus on quality instead of things that cater to the masses. I’m glad you understand, thanks for commenting.
Que bueno el video brother, deberías buscar información sobre los isleños de Lousiana de St.Croix, descendientes directos de canarios que hablaban con acento canario hasta principios del siglo XX
For english speakers: the isleños from the St.Croix island in Lousiana are direct descendants of canary islanders who spoke with the canary islands accent 'till the early 20th century, a very interesting slice of american (and canarian) history.
En Madrid me preguntaban si yo era Canario….y yo decía cubano y un señor me dijo ah si casi igual jiji
Wonderful video Elliot! Truly amazing to learn about the connection with the islands and the Americas including San Antonio! I was just in San Antonio last week should have a few videos coming out soon! Safe travels my friend
Thanks for watching! Next year I want to really explore the Canary Islands more in depth. Maybe I’ll look into a motorcycle to go around the islands. Take care.

Thanks Elliott, Great videos. Lingoda is exactly what I have been seeking. I just retired, young, and moved from Michigan to South Florida. Four years of high school Spanish and an undergrad minor in Spanish opened many doors for me. I just need the conversational practice in a controlled environment. I’m planning an extended trip through Spain as my reward! First stop, Malaga - go figure.
Hello Dave. How did you find my videos? Awesome to here. Spanish will serve you in Florida but especially Spain :) I can vouch for Lingoda, the professors are great! Thanks for commenting.
@@AdventureElliot I believe my Google searches on travel through Spain, Spanish language classes and watching other UA-camrs that have left the U.S. triggered the algorithm that dropped you into my recommendations. A win-win. You are living my dream. I’m now a subscriber! Y, también en Florida, se hablan Español. En muchas veces, ayudo los “gringos” y traduzco. Ha sido 34 anós desde hablé Español cada día puedo recuerdo mucho. Pero, no recuerdo todos los verbos or tenso del verbos and cuando usar. Leyendo y oyendo, no hay problema. Hablando, más difícil . Gracias.
Wonderful video. I learned a lot. And the interviews were great.
Thanks Thomas I’m glad you liked it
Saludos, desde Gran Canaria! Excelente Elliot! 👏👏👏👏👏🇮🇨
This was very informative and you should do a video about the similarities between the countries by going to the Caribbean and Latin America.
In in Costa Rica now.. maybe when I get to Cuba and PR I’ll do a follow up.. but honestly from a time and effort and cost standpoint, these types of videos don’t pay the travel bills.. I’m very passionate about it so while I’m traveling there I’ll surely make videos talking about the Spanish there but to dedicate an entire video won’t be worth it. Thanks for watching
Tremendo video. Gracias!
Found out about your channel in the asklatam subreddit. Your videos are awesome and very informative! Keep up the great work 👍🏽✌🏼
Thanks so much! I put everything into these videos and my goal is to have fun but also educate a bit. Thanks for watching! I have a lot of videos already but I haven’t even scratched the surface with LATAM! Hopefully heading back there this summer
Muy interesante Elliot ! Genial edición.
Gracias amigo!
Hey Elliot, really good work with these videos. I love how you use the images, the people, and the stories and filter them through the lens of Spanish and Latin American history. It gives the videos a depth that is rarely found on UA-cam. As someone born in Chile, raised in Malaga (Fuengirola), and Connecticut, I really appreciated these vids. My parents returned to Fuengirola a few years back. I am planning a trip to Spain in Dec and taking mom and dad to Las Palmas Gran Canarias for 8 days. What do you think? 4 nights in Las Palmas? and 4 nights in Maspalomas? What are some "must" visit hidden gems?
4 nights in Maspalomas is a bit much unless you want to eat and relax on the beach all day. I would honestly just rent a car and take day trips to mountain villages, Tunte, tejeda, terror, Puerto Rico or any town on the north green side. See my other videos from the hike I did; ua-cam.com/video/kFL4k98yHW8/v-deo.html
By the way, I live in Malaga and I’m gonna be making more videos there soon (in fuengirola).. take care!
The country music of Puerto Rico is the same as the one played by the Cañarían player.
There were also Canary Islanders who went to Louisiana and Texas. There is an Isleño festival every year in Louisiana, and in San Antonio, Texas, they also celebrate Canary Island culture every years at the annual Fiesta celebrations in the city.
Guagua is the bus ,that noun came from Canary Island and in Puerto Rico , Cuba and Key Weat (Cayo Hueso) call the bus, guagua.
In Dom. Republic its also called Guagua

Gracias por tu comentario!! Lo valoro mucho 💪🏻
What's fascinating to me is, if you're Central American. You can hear our accent in this too. Some of the Canarios drop their s like we do and have a whispering tone. Rafael sounds like the older people from San Salvador who were culturally higher class. My jaw dropped hearing him speak. What I think may have happened was, when the five countries were one nation (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica). The Spanish elite each brought with them some form of their accents. But unlike the Carribean, there wasn't a massive wave of strictly Canary immigration. Also explains why Voseo is extensively used in Centroamerica, and its not in the Carribean. Layer on each nation's ethnic mixing, even their accents had evolved differently. The notable three with the closest are El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In parts of Costa Rica they still have some of it, but overall theirs had changed too.
It's amazing to hear that man speak, and while it's not identical, it reminded me of the older people I knew growing up.
Tremendo video Elliott, muy informativo! Soy boricua (nacido y criado), pero llevo más de 23 años en USA (Maryland, right smack between Baltimore and DC; I know you were in this area recently; I’m subscribed to your channel…lol).

A very well made video with a very scholarly yet easily understood explanation; I was born in Puerto Rico in 1961 and my grandmother on my father's side, Carmen Abreu Serrano, who was born in 1893 in the western town of Isabela and passed away in 1986 in the capital city of San Juan, remembered stories passed down to her by her own grandparents about family events and anecdotes from her ancestors before they came to Puerto Rico from the Canary Islands around the year 1800.

My parents are Cuban my grandparents are canary and Andalusian. Very similar accent
There's even a place called Puerto Rico in the Canary islands
I’m Cuban most of my ancestry is from Canary Islands according to my mom. I also have a basque great great grandfather who fought in Cubas independence.
I only had 1 Canary Island ancestor and they came from Santa Cruz de Tenerife and have one of those common surnames Betancourt. Most of my ancestors came from Galicia in particular.
There are many tall and blond people in the Canarian Islands due to their Guanche (original inhabitants of the archipelago) origin. Many blond Puerto Ricans descend from Canarians.
Great Elliot!!!!

Hello Josè awesome, thanks for commenting. That’s why I made this video, for people like you. The island is extraordinarily beautiful and it’s a must visit for many reasons. I hope you can find where she was born. There are many villages on the island and I’ve got other videos on my channel documenting the rural parts of the island and the capital
The Canary accent sounds similar to Andalucian Spanish
Puerto Rican folkloric music has a great influence from Canarian music.
The indigenous people of the Canary Islands the Guancho came from North Africa and were Berbers.

Puerto Rican Spanish is not complicated. We belong to the Royal Academy for the Spanish language to cleanse and fix the language since 1955. Please do your research before you comment!
What was so ironic to me in high school and currently in college, was the fact that all of my Spanish teachers were all White Americans. However, I would drive them crazy because instead of the Castillian Spanish they were trying to teach us, we would flood them with Puerto Rican and Dominican dialects that would have them dizzy. Many of us thought that we knew Spanish but in reality... We all spoke Broken Inner City Ghetto Spanglish and we all got C's and D's in the Class. Go figure! LMAFO! I graduated with an associate degree last year, and currently, I'm enrolled at a 4-year local university studying part-time for a bachelor's Degree. I was a 4.0 student. However, I received a C in my foreign language Spanish elective... My GPA went down to a 3.8
La verdad es que somos lo mismo tanto por por mestizaje que hubo y por nuestra lengua,cultura,forma de ser, etc.
Así es
I did my 23and me and I'm 99% canary island. Makes total sense (parents cuban)
I'm really interested how far this actually goes. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, but my parents are from Aruba (carribean island close to Venezuela). I've been raised as an Arubian and also speak Papiamento. Lot's of people from Aruba have roots in Venezuela. I went to La Palma in 2019 (before the eruption of the Vulcano) and i'm not sure what it was, but I felt like this was my home instantly. The weather, the people, the Spanish they speak, the food. Since the first day that I have arrived, I said to my ex)girlfriend that La Palma is where I want to live in the future and the feeling remained until today.
I think the migration between the canaries, the carribean and Venezuela went further than just the Spanish speaking countries and Aruba might be a great example of an island where the main language is Papiamento but feels so entirely different than Curaçao or Bonaire. The Papiamento from Aruba is also more based on the Spanish grammar than the other islands, which are more African based.
You gotta watch this video my friend I just made this:

Fermin's accent sounded Andalucian or just so strong had difficulty understanding some simple words. Did you really refer people to the video where you wussed out on finishing the milk? LOL
He didn’t speak fast like Andalusian but he definitely spoke rural canarian Spanish. Super cool. I love exploring rural places and the fact it’s an island makes it even more unique. I can’t wait until I explore Puerto Rico, DR, and hopefully Cuba
I think it’s the other way around. The Spanish from the Caribbean islands isn’t complicated at all. The Spanish language arrived to the rest of Latin America many years later. The Caribbean islands are home to the first Spanish settlements and not the other way around.
Not Puerto Rico

This so relieving to me because I have started to doubt my fluency in Spanish because the majority of people that I hear speaking with others or me communicating with them are Puerto Rican or Dominican in my region.There are many times that I have a lot of difficulty understanding them. It's frustrating cuz I have learned Spanish that is more Mexican, Central American or parts of South America which sounds quite different from what I hear all the time.Sometimes it sounds like they are speaking a totally different language and I get frustrated with myself for not understanding them well.
Might just be you idk I’m from El Salvador and never have a hard time it’s just these use different slang
Puerto Rican aren't Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain they speak fake Spanish
La migration canaria a Santo Domingo (hoy Republica Dominicana) es mucho mas antigua que la de Cuba o Venezuela por eso es poco mencionada. Al primer sitio del nuevo mundo que los canarios fueron fue a Santo Domingo. Tan significante fue ese flujo migratorio que hoy gran parte de los pueblo dominicanos fueron fundados o repoblado luego de ser abandonados por canarios. Hast all primer presidente dominicano, Pedro Santana, fue de padres canarios. Por mi parte, el padre de mi abuela era hijo de canarios nacido en San Jose de Ocoa, Rep Dominicana.
Hola Sonny gracias por tu comentario. Por cierto, hice otro vídeo que muestra la plaza de Santo Domingo en las palmas de Gran Canaria mostrando esta conexión: ua-cam.com/video/3yWV72ibwEs/v-deo.html
Lamama de pedro santana era indigena de mexico
La mayoría de pueblos de La Cordillera Central en República Dominicana fueron fundados por Canarios, y durante mucho tiempo permanecieron aislados por su ubicación geográfica, las montañas más altas del Caribe, que los ayudó a evadir la ocupación haitiana 1822-1844. Hoy día todavía sus habitantes conservan muchas características genéticas, fenotípicas y culturales de los canarios. La mayoría llegaron entre mediados y finales del siglo XVIII (1700s).
@@nydomirican6193 Sí, el dominicano promedio es una mezcla de un canario y un africano. la mayoría de los dominicanos blancos y mestizos, especialmente del Cibao, son descendientes de canarios, el cibao recibió una inmigración masiva de las islas canarias. Mi padre nació en un campo a las afueras de santiago y toda la población eran predominantemente dominicanos blancos de ascendencia canaria.
@@nicholasnunez6751 También en el Cibao aparecen las personas con mayor ADN indígena. Sobretodo los habitantes de la sierra por su relativo aislamiento en el que vivieron sus habitantes durante décadas.
El vínculo es que España conquistó América y los canarios que participaron en la conquista llevaron su acento alli. Simple.
Pero hay muchos años más que la conquista.. el siglo 18-20 fueron Liu importantes y no consistieron en conquistas sino inmigración porque españa estaba mal económicamente
@@AdventureElliot Investiga sobre los dos acentos dominantes en España, castellano y sevillano, y por qué en Sudamérica hablan una especie de derivación de este último. Entre los conquistadores había muchos canarios, cuyo acento dominante era el sevillano. Eso no tiene nada que ver con tener vínculos con lo caribeño más allá de que fuimos sus conquistadores.
En las inmigraciones posteriores el acento ya estaba implantado desde hacía siglos, con sus modismos propios.
Btw, los que más emigraron a Sudamérica fueron los gallegos. En Canarias, emigrar se consideraba mal.
@@alhv1352 tu tienes razón pero el punto de vídeo es que la conexión entre los países/islas caribeños (+ venezuela) vino de las canarias que fueran conquistadores o inmigrantes por la inmigración seguía muchos años después de la conquista.. y el grupo principal de inmigrantes fueron los
Canarios y sí los gallegos.. pero gallegos se fueron a todos lados incluso argentina. El punto es que aunque las canarias geográficamente son pequeños, su huella es grande.. el video no se trata de moral sino lo que sucedió
@@AdventureElliot Supongo que tú no te consideras inglés, o irlandés, aunque tus antepasados emigraron a EEUU. Eres americano.
En el sentido opuesto, el hecho de que mis antepasados participaran en la conquista y que posteriormente un grupo de canarios en malas condiciones socioeconómicas tuviesen que emigrar a Sudamérica ( la emigración se consideraba una bajeza), no significa que haya "vínculo" alguno con el país receptor.
En mi familia no emigró nadie (no nos hacía falta, afortunadamente) y no considero que tenga ninguna relación con nada relativo al Caribe.
Somos de España, país de Europa, y las raíces que tenemos son españolas y por lo tanto europeas en todos los sentidos.
Repito: España descubrió y conquistó esos territorios para los Reyes Católicos e implantó su idioma en estos (especialmente la rama sevillana de la lengua). Punto.
(Mi tatarabuelo era irlandés, con título nobiliario y educado en el Trinity Colllege. Como hubo muchos irlandeses pobres que emigraron a EEUU, ¿entonces mi abuelo era americano? ¿Yo soy americana? WTF!).
@@alhv1352 soy americano estadounidense pero tengo un libro que muestra mis antepasados de Suecia, Czechia, e Irlanda y mis bisabuelos les enseñaron a mi madre y mis tíos su cultura, comida, etc. hay mucha cultura europea en EEUU.. y hay mucho cultura Europeo-espanol en el caribe y venezuela y Argentina sobretodo.. cómo viste en este video, muchos canarios tienen padres o abuelos que vivieron en cuba o venezuela recientemente por lo tanto hay muchos similitudes y el léxico solo es uno de ellos. Ellos no tuvieron nada que ver con la conquista porque estamos hablando del siglo 20. Saludos
