It proudly promotes it chest high, throughout the world and aimed directly in a comparison manner, in order to discredit the United States. But in their interpretation of “Free” education they appropriately forgot to mention one [...]

Biotechnological Development
The Castroit regime started its biological program in 1982, and since then has done extensive research and development in the field of bioterrorism for military purposes.

You didn’t take account = “No te diste cuenta”

They threw me an indirect = “Me tiro una inderecta”
Don’t throw fear at me = “No me tires miedo”

It can be considered to be the main reason why so many people love Cuba and why they are so reluctant of any type of change. Also the main reason why the Castro regime is still in power. It’s the selfishness of the traveler, the vacationer and only because of the beauty the island of [...]

Hugo Chavez denouncing the UN resolution and NO-Fly Zone:
More death, more war. They are the masters of war. What irresponsibility. And behind that is the hand of the United States and its European allies. They want to seize Libya’s oil. The lives of Libya’s people don’t matter to them at all.

A Book Fair in Cuba? A “festival of books”, colorfully reported by AP:
HAVANA (AP) — A river of people flows through the old colonial fortress, and the antics of clowns and music blasting from loudspeakers are interrupted only when an announcer summons the parents of a lost child. [...]

A dictatorship is a dictatorship, simple as that! No matter how much one tries to break it down, it doesn’t matter. Political preference, religious support and amount of popularity does not determine and justify any dictatorship. Simply because the citizens involved cannot choose any other form of rule. Without any availability of choice for its [...]

The Castro regime seems to be throwing in their all bloodied up towel. It’s officially a New Year now and it is 2011, making it 52 years of absolute totalitarian rule. The Castro regime has not accomplished anything for the Cuban citizen and the already crippled economy has lost one of its rotten crutches. [...]

Charles Mingus was a giant in the world of Jazz. His unrivaled ability to play the Bass was actually considered to be, may I say, weak, when compared to his genius ability to compose music. I personally love his music but it gets complicated, you see, hundreds of Jazz music listening hours are involved to [...]

As all the Wikileaks unfold before our eyes and throughout the internet, many questions are raised. Why would someone be so eager to reveal and expose important “top secret” and delicate conversations conducted by the government of the United States? Why only concentrate with American espionage? Why make it a global issue? Why [...]

This is really scary now! It has unexpectedly developed into reality! No need to categorize it as an ongoing fifty-year-old trend anymore. These statements have surpassed and has bypassed all irrational obstacles of doubt that ever existed about him. It is official! Fidel Castro has taken the ultimate and final step to prove, without a [...]

Avante Garde? I’m truly not sure. Since I am learning as I listen, I bump into and read about different “Eras” of Jazz. There is much consistently in the early years but when you reach the “Hard Bop Era” which comes right after “Be Bop” one, there are different interpretations as to [...]

When you hear the word “Cuba” what do you think of? Fidel Castro with a cigar in his hand and/or pointing his finger.This is not Cuba, this is just an image. The wrong image and one that must be corrected. This is a strategy, a technique of self promotion which has been carried out [...]

When we see the disfigured body of Ariel Sigler Amaya, we see inhumane treatment. We obviously can easily judge and come to the conclusion that something terribly went wrong during Mr. Sigler’s time spent in jail. The dungeon like appearance is revealing physical proof of the cruelty which occurs on a daily basis in [...]

Basically [...]

Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band was the name of the group and their very unique sound seemed to surprise everyone, they just didn’t know how to handle them. Nevertheless, it had that familiar disco beat and everyone hustled to it, great music! Here [...]

It was one of my favorite musical special have done, I really enjoyed putting it together and listening to these two masters of Cuban music. The dates these records were made, especially Chico O’ Farrill’s, ( 1950 to 1954) Cuban Blues, only express and acknowledge the highest quality of music. Mongo Santamaria’s incorporation and [...]
