Cubanocast baseball special 2007-10-12 17:41:24 Cuban Baseball poster
In honor of the baseball
playoffs (Now that the Angels are out of it, I guess I'll root for...ahh who cares?), here's a Cuban song with baseball as its theme. It's by Conjunto Casino and it's called Que se corre la bola. I'll try to find some others. By the way, the album is fantastic.

Chico O'Farrill: Fiebre Tropical 2007-11-10 14:10:12 I promised in this post to get an album with Chico
O'Farrill and Generoso Jimenez. Well, better late than never. Most of the songs on the album FiebreTropical
are interpretations of Cuban standards. They're wonderfully played and gentile- clearly for a sophisticated American audience. Here's one of the selections called Perfidia.
O'Farrill was a Cuban who made it big in America. The wiki says he influenced Cal Tjader.

The Bionic Woman keeps getting better
Ironically, as the show has become more watchable, it's ratings have declined (See here for story). Part of the good start probably had to do with the marketing blitz including a seemingly three hour

Hillary Clinton Cuban Campaign song: Es mi hombre 2007-12-15 22:57:54
I actually think it's quite admirable the way HillaryClinton
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.
