The resourcefulness of a Cuban mechanic in Havana to listen to music in his workshop astonished one of his clients, who eagerly shared images of the inventive device on social media. The user Alejandro Mainegra Reyes reported on Facebook that he visited a mechanical workshop to repair a blender and found the expert fixing various equipment to the rhythm of music.
"I was wondering where the music was coming from. Here is the device... Seriously, we need to show this to the world NOW," he said, showcasing images of a plastic container adapted with speakers. Many users on the network were amused by the invention and claimed that the mechanic's ingenious creation made him trustworthy. "Fix it here, this is the guy," said one woman.
However, others find it unfortunate that many Cubans lack access to even basic audio equipment. The reality is that in the ongoing Cuban crisis, island residents are constantly coming up with creative solutions to meet their basic needs.
Recently, another inventive Cuban devised a way to brew coffee with an old, partially melted coffee maker by attaching a hose and diverting the coffee into a jar. Additionally, a woman's invention went viral when she managed to turn the lights on and off in her house using a syringe in the absence of a switch.
