ONCUBA PLATFORM
OnCuba is a U.S. communication platform founded in 2012 by Cuban-American businessman Hugo Cancio. It belongs to the Media Division of the Fuegos Enterprises, Inc. (FUGI) public company.
It comprises several publications and a travel agency:
- OnCuba News, a digital newspaper with information about Cuba, the United States and the World which is updated every day.
- Art OnCuba, a quarterly magazine specializing in Cuban visual arts, which also has a website periodically updated.
- OnCuba Travel Magazine, a printed magazine that invites through its pages to have a firsthand glance and enjoy the experience of visiting Cuba.
- OnCuba Travel, a travel agency specializing in promoting the learning and exchange of culture between Cuba and the United States.
OnCuba is the only U.S. communication platform with an office and legal representation on both sides of the Straits of Florida: Havana and Miami. Its Art OnCuba and OnCuba Travel magazines publish exclusively contents about Cuba, being the only ones of its kind distributed throughout all U.S. States.
This extensive distribution, the online positioning and the credibility achieved by the Platform in its six years of existence, facilitate and are presented as an opportunity for those businesses and companies seeking greater visibility and impact in the Anglo-Saxon and/or Cuban market.
Moreover, each one of the trade brand’s products has been developed by Cubans who live on or outside the island and are true connoisseurs of the Cuban reality.

OnCuba News appeared this 2018 as a digital newspaper replacing its web version of the OnCuba magazine. Now with a renovated image and a variety of sections, it expands the news spectrum and frequency, maintaining the subject of Cuba-U.S. relations as the central core of its editorial policy.
In this new version readers will in addition be able to find wide coverage about sports, culture, art, shows, cuisine, health, fashion, trends, curiosities on a global level.
OnCuba News has authorized voices among its writing staff and columnists with the aim of meeting its users’ demand for information, in Spanish as well as in English.
Art OnCuba emerged in June 2013 as a quarterly printed magazine specializing in Cuban visual arts. It has currently evolved to become a visual art project that includes a website, a collection of works by young upstart artists and promotional actions to give visibility to the Cuban art proposed by the new generations.
Art OnCuba magazine is more than a publication, it is a collectable object that complements the exhibition of a work. It is a reference and consultation material for curators, art critics, collectors, researchers and other persons related to Cuban visual arts.
Here you can find the access to the website and to the printed subscription.
