diphthong was definitely the wrong word, but JPablo gave you good examples. Santa Barbara, an important figure in Cuban culture, is often pronounced Santa Babara.
That L for R substitution is common in Caribbean Spanish. I knew a Dominican doctor who said esparda instead of espalda, so I don't think it is strictly Cuban.
Although Cuba, Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo are different places with their own accents, it can be challenging for non-natives to distinguish the accents.
