Yes, except that the Canarian dialect has significant differences between the seven island. Not that it matters much because they are all totally incomprehensible.

Hola amigo Perikles. ¿Cómo has estado? Espero que bien.

So you are saying that they are incomprehensible to you? By "they" you mean the Cubans or the Canarians or both? Do you have contact with people that speak the Canarian dialect and or Cubans? The article basically says that the Canarian dialect and the Cuban dialect/accent is almost the same. So I would take it that both the Cuban and the Canarian dialect is totally incomprehensible to you. ¿No es así?

My wife is Cuban and we speak only Spanish together so I really want to know if you can understand Cubans when they speak. Above is a video/audio of Cubans talking. Can you understand them or are they totally incomprehensible to you? I can understand Cubans and Puerto Ricans perfectly along with Mexicans. I also understand Portuguese, Italian and French. I wonder how I would do trying to understand Canarian dialect.
Since they say it is very similar to Cuban dialect I don't think it would be a problem for me. At any rate you say you have not had contact with Cubans. Well here is your contact with them now. Let me know if you understand them.
