Project i941

Tonight’s program explores the historic phenomenon of Fidel Castro, Esq., former president of Cuba and leader of the successful 1959 Cuban revolution that turned Latin American history around. We discuss and play excerpts form Saul Landau’s 1968 classic film, “Fidel.” We bring you Cuban music and news, views and commentary by Saul Landau who just returned from the island. Julieta Kusnir anchors the mix.

We offer you the opportunity to own your dvd copy of “Fidel” to share with friends and family while supporting the station. Gracias, Enjoy!

Friendship

Amistad

(del náhuatl)

Son una luz
las puntas rubias y tiernas del maíz;
en la primavera despertamos
a la borla dorada de la mazorca
y las pruebas de constancia
en los corazones de amigos
nos engalanan el cuello
con collares de joyas.

———-© Rafael Jesús González 2011

Friendship

(from the Nahuatl)

It is a light,
the corn’s pale & tender ends;
in spring we wake
to the golden tassel of the maize,
& the proofs of constancy
in the hearts of friends
about our necks
jeweled collars place.

———-© Rafael Jesús González 2011
