Cuban

Cuba is a bit of an enigma for many people. For some, it is a socialist country, dedicated to the world revolution. For others it is simply a beautiful, but poor holiday destination. Che Guevara, the face on a million t-shirts, is of course the revolutionary most associated with this island. His life has been the subject of many biographies and much comment. He is an icon for millions of people

The Mavericks let injury ridden Darius Miles workout for them. If he signs anywhere and plays in 10 or more games, the Blazers owe him a nine million dollar salary.

The H. Upmann cigars can actually be found in two separate companies that share the same name. The first of these is manufactured in Cuba and the other is made in the Dominican Republic. The only thing that these two cigar companies really share is a name and when most people think of the H. Upmann cigar brand, they consider the one that is rolled in Havana, Cuba.

Reflections of Fidel: SEVEN days ago I wrote about one of the great men in history: Salvador Allende, a man the world remembered with deep emotion and respect on his first centennial. However, no one quivered or even recalled the date of October 24, 1891, when the Dominican despot Rafael Leonidas Trujillo was born, eighteen years before our admired Chilean brother.

New Cuban president Raul Castro has commuted all but three death sentences to 30 years or life sentences. The three not commuted have been convicted of terrorism. Two were charged with bombing hotels in the last decade.The third is a Cuban American charged with murder. Castro said: "This does not mean we have eliminated the death penalty from the penal code. It would be irresponsible and ingenuous to renounce the dissuasive power that capital punishment has..."He added: "This decision was not undertaken because of pressure, but as a sovereign act in line with the humanitarian and ethical conduct that has characterized the Cuban revolution from the start."

3 Cuban Cigar Buying Commandmentsby Trevor WallaceThe best cigars in the world come from Cuba, also known as Cuban Cigars. If you set out to buy real Cubans on the internet, I'm afraid knowing that isn't enough. Since their are so many vultures on the internet selling fake Cuban cigars, I would like to share three things that you must be aware of before purchasing a Cuban Cigar off the internet. As buying from a fake online retailer may not only cause you the pain of smoking fake Cubans, but you can also be a victim of identity theft. If you've never smoked real Cuban Cigars, than this should be a must read for your. After all, you don't want to share fake Cuban cigars with someone who has smoke real Cubans before. They can spot the difference as soon as the Cigars are lit.See you have to

Cuba is synonymous with a few things in everyone’s mind, and whether or not you’re a commie, a weak-willed socialist-sympathizing pinko, or even a right-wing pseudo-fascist, there is much to admire about that politically-isolated island nation.

Cuban reggaeton star Elvis Manuel is believed to be in the custody of the Coast Guard at this time, although it has not been confirmed.

Its been an eventful weekend. Upon landing in Miami, Myk Jones and I headed over to grab some grub and had this excellent Cuban Steak sandwich that you see above.

Big up to Raul Acosta and David (The Owner) for allowing us to come in. After a night at Mangos, we went back to Wet Willies where we were chilling with T-Weaponz, 950 Plus, The Ave Records, some DJs from L.A, and several artists from Brooklyn.

Concerning my Cuban Valentine special, Eduardo Tavel wrote: I believe you should have included "Nosotros' a beautiful love song. I found several instances of the song. The first is from Elena Burke, a sixties singer whom I have to admit to not liking very much. It's not that she's a bad singer; I just don't find any of her songs particularly interesting- they have a sort of lounge-act feel to them. I'll put it here anyways in case that's the one Mr. Tavel was talking about. 100 Canciones Cubanas Del Milenio Better is the Cha cha-bolero from Orquesta Aragon.

I especially like these songs recorded for CMQ radio in Havana. The sound quality is very good, and listening to the announcers and artists kid around is fun. Conjunto Casino was one of the top ten B.C. Cuban bands. In fact, in doing research, I noticed a few of their cds I'd like to purchase. En CumbanchoaPowered by b2evolution.

This excellent CD is from 1959. In January of that year, optimism and uncertainty accompanied every Cuban as he walked along the beautiful countryside or teeming Havana. Fulgencio Batista had just decided that his position was no longer tenable as he lost support from the United States who had decided to refuse him any way of acquiring arms as well as most Cubans who wanted cleaner government. "Los Barbudos" or the "bearded ones" led by the suitably unshorn Fidel Castro easily filled the vacuum in the politically abandoned capital. It was only later that Castro declared his intention to "progress" Cuba to the state it's in now. The songs on this album provide one with the optimism prevalent in the beginning of the revolution like the song here. Other songs are called things like "land

George Rodez Are Cubans romantic? Ha! Below are my favorite Cuban love songs. To qualify, the songs have to be of... 1. ...a caballero wooing a senorita (I'll give the young lady the benefit of the doubt.) or singing of his very special chica or... 2. ...a senorita's amorous rapture- no cheating, loveless lust, unrequited or lost love, just the powerful pull of that most delicious emotion.

Dalla Gazzetta dello Sport di Simone SandriL'eccentrico proprietario dei Mavericks, ha offerto un impiego come supporter professionista al 39enne Darrell Bailey, primo tifoso dei Clippers, per lasciare Los Angeles e trasferirsi a DallasQuella dei Clippers è considerata una delle peggiori franchigie nel panorama sportivo americano. Non a caso storicamente il club non riesce a trattenere i suoi giocatori di talento, un po’ per l’avarizia del suo proprietario Donald Sterling (il quale però negli ultimi anni sembra aver deciso di aprire con più frequenza il suo portafoglio) un po’ per alcune cervellotiche scelte dirigenziali. Adesso però si sfiora il paradosso, visto che i Clips rischiano di essere abbandonati anche dal loro più celebre e rumoroso tifoso. Il 39enne Darrell Bailey, c

I actually think it's quite admirable the way Hillary Clinton stood by Bill during his troubles. To celebrate her extraordinary fidelity, I selected Es mi hombre. I found this entry here: Maurice Ivan's Es mi hombre, in a cha cha cha time version sung by Rosita Fornes, Cuban television and theater diva for her interpretations of operettas and zarzuelas. Under the guidance of maestro Ernesto Lecuona she entered her professional career. In this version she is accompanied by The Castro Brothers' Orchestra. Listen here. The box set has some songs which I haven't seen anywhere else including priceless live performances. You can get the downloads here.

I don't know about fun, but you can ignore the part about eating. I confirmed with Huckabee that Mormons do, in fact, consume food. Don't mind the part about the rabo ("tail") too.

Map of Cuba, pre-revolution, with its original provinces: Pinar del Rio, La Habana, Matanzas, Las Villas, Camaguey, Oriente. Beny More loved Cuba. I can arrive at such a conclusion through simple deduction: People devote their energy and try to be close to what they love. Beny More left a lucrative career in Mexican music and film to return to Cuba. He also stayed in Cuba after the revolution of 1959 while many of the best Cuban singers, like Celia Cruz, left. Beny More sang about Cuba- alot. Many singers sang about Cuba in general and some sang about cities, but Beny is the only one who paid musical tribute to more than one city. Not only that, but he often gave those non-universal and potentially less lucrative tribute songs his best melodies and music. Therefore, Beny More loved Cuba. With that in mind, let's take a tour of Cuba with Beny as our guide. You can get the albums below. All aboard the Guagua (autobus for my non-Cuban brothers): => Read more!

The closing keynote speaker at BlogWorld was Mark Cuban. He was speaking to the audience about his blog; and how important it is to share ideas, thoughts, etc. with his readers. He then went on a rant about how others in the media attack him and call him names; and then went to say how important it is not to respond. He then called Mr. Bill O’Reilly a Moron for his comments about Cuban, who financially backed the controversial film “Redacted” which is story about the war in Iraq that depicts the real-life rape and killing of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl by U.S. soldiers. And of course…the crowd erupted in applause.  Technorati Tags: blogworld, bill o’reilly, mark cuban, redacted Share this post

A representative of the Cuban Bloggers Group charged Blogworld Expo with racism today after organizers shut down the group's cockfight arena in the Las Vegas Convention Center parking structure.

The first fight was only halfway done when the Blogworld goon squad came and shut us down- something about this activity being illegal (I still don't know what they meant; we weren't betting with money.). For the rest of the day, we just sat around and played dominoes which resulted in the lightest attended display at the convention. Because of their anti-Cuban bigotry, the CBG is boycotting next year's convention. We're also suing the PETA bloggers for spraying us with fake b

Baseball might have a new member of the small fraternity of owners – Mark CubanAlthough Cuban is widely known as being the larger-than-life, loud and opinionate owner of the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA, he wants to bleed Cubbie Blue and make his mark known in baseball.From the AP: “Everybody thinks I'm going to be on the sidelines, in the dugout, jumping up and down. That's not where I'll be," he said on the Mike North Morning Show on radio station WSCR. "When I went to the Cubs game a couple weeks ago, I sat in the bleachers, and I'll have a seat marked out for me and my friends. We'll be out in the right-field bleachers -- that's the best place to watch a game." Tribune Co. announced six months ago that it would sell the club after the season in connection with an $8.2 billion buyout of the media conglomerate led by real estate magnate Sam Zell. But the process has moved slowly and many don't expect a sale to be completed until well into 2008. Cuban said he hasn't made a
