When the Europeans arrived, the Ciboney had already been driven by their powerful Taíno neighbors to western Hispaniola (Haiti) and western Cuba. The Ciboney of Cuba and Hispaniola were culturally different from each other; those of Cuba went by the name Guanajatabey. Within a century after European contact, the Ciboney were extinct.
The Ciboney languages are unattested apart from a single word of Guanajatabey.

His feisty attitude has kept him at or near the top of the sound system game for many years. Tony Matterhorn has now found new territory as a dancehall deejay with a handful of hits pounding the dancehall both locally and overseas. Matterhorn, whose real name is Dufton Taylor Jr. has now found himself much busier than in previous years. In a recent interview, Matterhorn pointed out that his career is enjoying an all- time high and he is capitalizing on every moment that presents itself. "Pretty much things have changed a lot now. I am in the studios more than before, doing dubs for other sounds but its all good," he explained.
Dubbed 'Mr. Fully Loaded' for his intense battles at the annual beach event, Matterhorn has captured a new fan base with the globe-trotting Dutty Wine single which spent 13 weeks at number one on the RETV Dancehall Chart, and eleven weeks at the top of the UK's BBC 1Xtra Dancehall chart. Dutty Wine's success hasn't been confined to the dancehall charts. The song last week peaked at number 35 on Billboard's R&B; Hip Hop Singles & Tracks chart in the US. A follow-up single, Goodas Fi Dem from producer Mark Pinnock's Gully Slime rhythm on the Natural Bridge label, has taken over the number one spot on the charts.
Matterhorn got his initial start in the sound system arena in the early 1990s. "I was going to school when Wally from Inner City sound and Mark dem decide to teach mi one day about the sound thing. I was always listening to people like Professor Nuts and Stichie from back in the day. The deejay thing just evolved from being around artistes like Bounty Killer and Mad Cobra,"said Matterhorn. Asked whether he was surprised at the success of Dutty Wine, Matterhorn said "The song took about 15 minutes to do, right in my living room couch. Me and Ding Dong and some friends were running a boat. The song was created for the girls from Montego Bay who were doing the Dutty Wine dance. I did had the feeling that the song was going to be big, but not as big as it turned out to be."
With plans for an album of material almost completed, a touring schedule being finalisted and attention coming from major record labels including Atlantic and Universal Records, Matterhorn said that his selector persona will always be active, despite his new-found success as a vocalist. "The album is almost complete. I need about two more tracks for it, but the selector Tony Matterhorn isn't going anywhere," he said. Added Matterhorn, "I have about four or five new singles to drop on the road, but mi kinda hold them back still. There is a song called Man From Mars that's doing well in New York right now. Goodas Fi Dem is doing well. I just have to give thanks for all that's happening".
Matterhorn was most recently name dropped in the Kanye West song 'Monster,' with rapper Nicki Minaj rapping:
"Yeah my money's so tall that my barbie's gotta climb it/
Hotter than a middle eastern climate, Find it/
Tony Matterhorn, dutty whine it"

Matt Jordan (born October 13, 1975 in Aurora, Colorado) is a former soccer player currently employed by the Montreal Impact in the USSF Division 2 Professional League. He is the team's director of soccer operations.
However, Jordan saw little time with Odense, and returned to MLS in the middle of the 2004 season, signing with the Columbus Crew. He only played one game for the Crew, however, spending most of the year behind Jon Busch. In 2005, an injury kept Jordan out for most of the season, and after newly-acquired Jonny Walker played well, Jordan was shipped to his hometown Rapids for a pick in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. He was waived during the 2007 pre-season, and the Rapids brought Zach Thornton on board.
The Impact signed Jordan in 2007 to replace long-time starter Greg Sutton, who had moved on to MLS expansion side Toronto FC. In Montreal, Jordan established himself on a successful Impact team that won the inaugural Canadian Championship in 2008, posting two clean sheets and receiving the George Gross Memorial Trophy as tournament MVP.
On December 18, 2008, Montreal announced the re-signing of Jordan to two year contract.
On February 1, 2011, Jordan announced his retirement as player. He will stay with Montreal as director of soccer operations.
