    I think Dominicans sound more "African" than do the others though.

    Yes, but not overly. It's kinda like a mix of Canarian and West African. The two Cuban ladies sounded western Cuban and they kinda stretch their vowels too much. Fidel is Eastern Cuban, so his and the Puerto Rican I think sounded closest to Canarians. Fidel sounding more Palmero (la Palma) and the Puerto Rican sounding more Canarion (Gran Canarian)

    It's amazing when I hear Caribbean accents because to my ears, Cuban sounds closer to la Palma, Puerto Rican to Gran Canarian and Venezuela to Tenerife. It's like all the Caribbean is present in the Canaries. I'm always like guao (Spanish for wow lol)

    Like a harder version of Spanish to understand. A lot of missing consonants, and since regular Spanish is already all vowels, it makes it even harder to understand.

    Do some final unstressed O sound like U like in Portuguese?
