Tech/Engineering - Agriculture / history of cacao in Cuba
Spanish term or phrase: guapén
Context:

Cuando finalizaban las cosechas, todos ellos se reunían para celebrar fiestas que propiciaron el surgimiento de las células más primitivas del son oriental: el Nengón y Kiribá. Al terminar cada recolección de cacao, llegaba el jubileo por los resultados productivos. Entonces se congregaban para bailar, entonar e improvisar canciones a sus santos y familiares, así como a sus desvaríos, amores, congojas, triunfos y alegrías. En sus rítmicos y ancestrales pasos reproducían el reboteo del quehacer cacaotero en los secaderos. En estas celebraciones se elaboraban variados platos auténticos con productos de la tierra, el mar y los ríos de los alrededores, incluidos, raíces de tubérculos, plátanos, calabaza, ***guapén***, boniato, yuca, maíz, guayaba, guanábana y coco; además de pescados, cangrejos y jaibas junto a cerdos, gallinas, carneros, chivos, tetí, miel de abeja
