Banta

Banta or Banta Soda, also known as Fotash Jawl in Bengali, Goli Soda or Goti Soda, is a colloquial term for a carbonated lemon or orange-flavoured soft drink in a Codd-neck bottle popular in India.

The drink is often sold mixed with lemon juice, crushed ice, chaat masala and kala namak as a carbonated variant of popular lemonades shikanjvi or jal-jeera. It is available at street-sellers known as bantawallahs at prices ranging from 5 (7.0¢ US) - 30 (42¢ US).

The Ganga-Longoba are a small ethnic group of Afro-Cubans who primarily reside in Perico, Matanzas Province. The community traces their ancestry to a woman named Josefa Ganga who was imported to Cuba in the 1830s via the Spanish-owned Lomboko slaving port. She worked on the Santa Elena sugar refinery near Perico and managed to live past the abolition of slavery in 1886. She passed the tradition of her home village down to her great-granddaughter, Florinda Diago, who in turn passed the tradition to Diago's grandson Humberto Casanova; Casanova and Magdalena "Piyuya" Mora currently lead the Ganga-Longoba community. Her descendants have largely lived their lives in Perico, both before and after the Cuban Revolution.
