"Colorful Cuba" as in people of color entertaining the white tourists.

Has Coca-Cola been available in Cuba since the revolution?

Probably not.

(According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Revolution), Castro took the capital in January 1958, and the Batista regime was already on its last legs in 1958. Those tourists won't be drinking their Cokes on the beach for much longer.)
