Abakua: The Secret Society of Cuba

[vinnyvega]

I was listening to a Joe Rogan podcast with Joey Diaz and they were talking about this secret society of Afro-Cuban badass dudes.

If you have some time,  check it out on YouTube.  Lots of naughty words so watch it at home.

It's a fun 20 minutes listen.

I would take Anything Joey Diaz says with several enormous grains of salt. He eats enough Edibles everyday to kill an elephant, not to mention the decade + of cocaine and heroin addiction. Funny? Definitely. Accurate/Factual? Probably not. 

I've heard him on the Joe's podcast talking about "Cuban Donkey Shows", other live sex shows, gangs, drugs. Supposedly all before Fidel took over. It sounds to me like he is confusing Havana with Tijuana. I'm sure Havana was a lot crazier when the Mob ran things, but that was the 40's.

Do you know the scene in God Father 2 with Superman? That’s supposedly true. There was a guy hung like an elephant that they used in live sex shows. I think I read it in that book that was talked about here, regarding the Mafia in Havana.

The book is "Havana Nocturne" by TJ English.

How the Mob Owned Cuba…and Then Lost It to the Revolution

TJ English was with Joey Diaz corroborating his stories about the "men in white clothes".

I hate to say this but if you think donkey shows only exist in Tijuana, you need to get out more.  Or not.....
