Miami heated up: They are flying kites in the middle of the street in the purest Cuban style.

A group of young people revives one of the most cherished traditions of Cuba in the streets of Miami, flying kites with laughter and nostalgia.


A group of young people is causing a stir on social media after sharing a video on TikTok where they can be seen flying kites in a parking lot in Miami, recreating one of the most traditional childhood games in Cuba.

The video, published by the user @sr_rmill30, shows the young people enjoying an afternoon outdoors, flying kites in the wind, an activity that harkens back to the roots of many Cubans.

The moment, which seems spontaneous and filled with laughter, is narrated in a playful tone by the person recording, as they exclaim amid laughter: "These people are behaving so badly," capturing the relaxed and humorous atmosphere that characterizes the scene.

The kite, known for being one of the most popular pastimes among children in Cuba, remains alive in the collective memory of many migrants who have brought this custom to different parts of the world. In this case, the young people recreated that essence in Miami, showcasing nostalgia and a connection to their Cuban roots.

The publication has awakened feelings of nostalgia in the Cuban community in the United States, where many remember their childhood flying kites in the neighborhoods of the island. This is not the first time that these traditions have remained alive in exile, but this video stands out for its authenticity and for bringing a piece of Cuba to the streets of Miami.

In the comments, numerous users have joined in with messages like "That's very Cuban, how delicious" and "What beautiful childhood memories," demonstrating the cultural impact that these simple activities have on Cuban identity, regardless of where they are in the world.

The video of @sr_rmill30 not only reflects a moment of fun among friends but also highlights the Cuban community's ability to keep its traditions alive, even in a diverse city like Miami.
