The project "White" focuses on communities of Spanish origin, mainly from the Canary Islands, who settled in the Viñales Valley.

In this area, very few black Cubans or even mixed-racecan be found. Due to the fact that not a lot of sugarcane was cultivated, there was no need for African slave labor.

Recent genetic studies have found that, on average, white-skinned Cubans have around 7% African genes, 8% Native American genes and 85% are of European origin.
