Curious Facts About Cuba! The smallest bird in the world, the zunzuncito hummingbird, is a native of this country. In his adulthood, he reaches only 5 centimeters. Andy García, one of the protagonists of The Godfather III, was born in Cuba. The singer Silvio Rodríguez was also born in this country. Cuba is also known as El Cocodrilo, due to the shape of the island. When Christopher Columbus discovered the island in 1492, he believed that he had reached China. Two currencies are used in Cuba: the Cuban peso and the Cuban convertible peso or CUC. The Cuban economy is based on socialist principles, where the government employs the majority of the workforce. Until 2006, 78% of the working population was employed by the state. The most popular music in Cuba is the son, a form that derives from many genres, such as salsa, rumba and mambo. A faster form of rumba, the cha cha, also comes from the son. While the country is struggling with a major drug shortage, there is no shortage of medical personnel. In fact, Cuba has the highest density of physicians per country in the world.
