Reading this which is about one of my top 2 obscure lefty figures, who basically ran the support network of the Cuban Revolution, and I gotta say: not good.
The book works to try to debunk the official histiography of Celia Sanchez as 'godmother of the revolution', a person who only existed in reference to the Cuban Revolution, and while I get that, it is imo too wrapped up in that and in the 'framing devices' of the museums the author went to to get this information and not enough on the main events of Celia's life or even what she thought about things.
Like, you get 30 pages on her childhood and all together 30 pages on various rural museums, but the shift in Cuban student politics from a split between petty bourgeois Catholics and generally populist Protestants gets glossed over in 5 pages and suddenly Celia is on the run from the police. Frank Pais, the other leader of the 'Plano' or urban part of M-26-7, dies and with him the possibility of a primarily urban revolution, and she gets all his responsibilities and then is caught by police and escapes to the Sierra Maestra, all in less time than it took to describe the museum the author went to to learn about this period!

Fantastic video of Colin Fiyero! Some readjusting throughout, minimal washout.
“She was a Cuban revolutionary, politician, researcher and archivist. She was a key member of the Cuban Revolution and a close colleague of Fidel Castro. She started as an arms runner, later as a combatant in the Revolution, considered the first female guerilla of the Sierra Maestra. She would place telegrams inside a butterfly flower, so the messages remained secret. She later on served in office as secretary to the presidency of the Council of Ministers and in the Department of Services of the Council of State.”

In the beginning of 2012, he released a mixtape that includes some singles and new songs, only released in the US and Mexico. In 2009, Balvin released his single "Ella Me Cautivó", becoming his first song to chart in the United States, which serves as the first single from his debut album Real that was released in 2009 and received a Gold certification. He has more than 35 million singles sales certified and four million albums sales certified worldwide as of 2019. “They make me want to keep going, knowing that as women, we support each other,” she said.Colombian singer J Balvin has released five studio albums, one collaborative album, three mixtapes, three EPs, sixty-nine singles, thirty featured singles, and ten promotional singles. Nicole says it is fellow women in music who inspire her most. “I’m always looking for things to learn,” said the artist, whose song “Ella no es tuya (remix)” was included on Barack Obama’s summer playlist. The star-on-the-rise exudes humility and a hunger to keep growing, citing artists like Amy Winehouse as influences. “I said to myself, ‘Maybe no one’s there,’ but when I entered the room and it was full, I relaxed.” “I was scared and nervous, coming from Argentina to here,” she said. “Emotion does not have a language.”įellow Argentine and trap star Nicki Nicole, who spoke with AFP minutes after her set that included tracks like “Colocao,” “Baby” and “Wapo Traketero,” said she was nervous when she first arrived to debut at the festival, one of music’s biggest parties.īut once she got there, hundreds of people were chanting her name.ĭressed in a black jumpsuit and combat boots, the 21-year-old burst onto the stage to the delight of her fans. The singer, donning a faded leather jacket over a black top, said that for her, music is no less than a sensory experience. “I have always felt powerful, and with infinite possibilities, like any other person in the world.” “I have never felt limited as an artist because I am Latina, on the contrary,” Peluso told AFP. Nathy Peluso, a vocalist from Argentina who just kicked off a global tour in Mexico, saw Latin American music’s strength reflected in this year’s Coachella lineup, which also included Brazilians Anitta and Pabllo Vittar. The Latin celebration of Coachella comes as Spanish-language music continues to find mainstream success.Īccording to MRC Data, which provides music business analytics, in 2021 the consumption of Latin music spiked 21.1%, higher than any other major genre.īy the end of 2021 it is the fifth most-consumed genre in the United States. She closed the mammoth set with her own international hit, “Tusa.” One after the other, she ran through a who’s who of Latin music history: “Maria” by Ricky Martin, “La Macarena” by Los del Rio, “La vida es un Carnaval” by Celia Cruz, “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee, “Hips Don’t Lie” by Shakira, “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, and “Mi Gente” performed by J Balvin. “I’m from Colombia, and I’m very proud to represent my country and Latinas,” she told her adoring fans.Īs the sun set on the weekend’s hottest day, Karol G began an emotional tribute to the Latin acts who came before her, starting with “Como La Flor” by Selena, the smash that catapulted the late star to the top of the charts in the 1990s. The Colombian artist took advantage of her primetime spot to extol her Latin heritage and her region’s impact on music. Up next on the invite list was Becky G, the California-born artist who performed “Mamiii” with Karol. The singer delivered intricate choreography rife with kisses, twerking, and generous use of her hips, before bringing on superstar DJ Tiesto for two songs. “She is pure fun, I love her!” shouted Carolina Sanchez, a 23-year-old Mexican woman who staked out a front-row spot as she waited for the artist, who appeared with her signature mermaid-blue locks. The reggaeton star shook the stage with a killer set that gave female empowerment a top billing and also paid homage to the Latin American acts who paved the way. On Sunday, thousands assembled to wait for Colombia’s Karol G, long before she was scheduled to take Coachella’s main stage at the California desert, which was hosting the famed festival for the first time in three years after a long pandemic-induced hiatus. In total, this year’s line-up saw 20 artists from Latin America and its diaspora performing at the premier music festival in the California desert, up from 17 in 2019, when Bad Bunny and J Balvin ruled.
