Default RE: CUBA: BLACK OR WHITE, IT DOESNT MATTER - 10-03-2003, 08:21 PM

That was interesting indeed.
I find myself drawn to things spanish for some reason, especially cuba. It hit me that that woman who said that everyone loves cuba from afar must have been talking about romantic types like me who speak latino coz it's cool. My interest is superficial i agree nothing to be ashamed about....besides one must start somewhere and i've always wanted to explore another culture deeply and i have chosen the spanish one.

I will go to cuba one day. Che Guevara is one of my heroes and no i'm not saying that coz it's fashionable amongs't Africans these days, this is for real. He was a monolith of a man....at a time when it was difficult and dangerous to hold the kind of views that he held and proclaim them honestly. But anyway the guy wanted so badly to be black i think.

I like cuban music to....Ibrahim Fehrer(go get his latest' Buenos Hermanos' it is really good) and Compay Segundo who is now deceased....Long live Buena Vista Social Club.....
