Dio è come me, ateo, duro, navigatore impenetrabile, vagabondo di corti sorrisi e sguardi lungamente strepitosi. Taglia coperte, trasporta carbone distrugge pareti, alza barricate, commuove la massa di petali, chiama alla rivoluzione mondiale e seppellisce spine di fame cosmica. È anticapitalista, anticlericale e antimperialista. Dio, di sinistra, è il cospiratore perpetuo.
(Hugo Margenat)

El cuarteto musical se reúne para celebrar los 40 años del lanzamiento de la producción musical
por Yovani Colón Gerena – Fotos Dede Vidal
Cuando Roy Brown se mudó a la ciudad de Nueva York en 1976, fundó el grupo Aires Bucaneros con Zoraida Santiago, Carl Royce y Pablo Nieves. Tomaría tres años para grabar su primera producción discográfica. Tomaría cuarenta años para volver a reunir los integrantes originales en el salón Antonio Paoli del Centro de Bellas Artes el pasado 27 de mayo.
Días antes de la presentación el grupo anunció en una conferencia de prensa de la celebración del aniversario. “Había miles de puertorriqueños jóvenes que se acababan de mudar a Nueva York y estaban los también neoyorquinos, los puertorriqueños nacidos allá. Estaba todo un movimiento progresista. Surgieron músicos que los representaran, músicos con ideas jóvenes, y esos fuimos nosotros”, comentó Brown.
Por otro lado, Zoraida Santiago enfatizó lo siguiente: “habíamos tratado anteriormente y no se había podido dar por diferentes razones. Estamos haciéndolo con todo el entusiasmo que implica compartir con colegas y amigos de este proyecto de hace 40 años, y eso es muy especial”.
Ante una audiencia mayor de 55 años, el recinto no estaba tan lleno como se esperaba, pero sí estaban entusiasmados para escuchar en vivo las canciones de la producción, del cual Roy Brown declama que es su mejor proyecto. Entre el público se escuchó que muchos, ex – alumnos de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, fue revivir la época cuando el grupo musical se presentaba en el teatro del plantel universitario.
El concierto empezó con “Serenata”, seguido por “Caballo de palo”, provocando el entusiasmo del público en canto y aplausos.
El grupo siempre les gustó adaptar los poemas populares en líricas y música. En el repertorio interpretaron “Casi Alba” de Julia de Burgos, “Andando una noche sola” de Juan Antonio Corretjer, “Vendrás” de Hugo Margenat y “Bailando con los negros” de Pablo Neruda.
También hubo momentos que presentaron temas de su propia autoría. Zoraida Santiago compuso “Prisa loca”, donde relata el estilo de vida en la ciudad de los rascacielos y en dónde se conocieron. Pero, el tema que causó un “standing ovation” fue “Tierra en que nací”. “Estamos siendo fiel a lo que hacíamos en aquella época”, comentó Brown como una pequeña introducción de “Árboles” del poeta Clemente Soto Vélez.
Para la parte final del concierto, interpretaron el tema “Oubao Moin”, al que provocó al público ponerse de pie y acompañar al grupo musical como un coro de ángeles. No pudo faltar “Aires Bucaneros”, “Ahora me despido” y “Boricua en la luna” de Juan Antonio Corretjer.
Esto dejó en el ambiente una esencia de necesidad de más producciones dedicadas a los autores latinoamericanos, pero sobre todo, los de Puerto Rico. Aunque el movimiento del reggaetón es la que predomina en las ondas radiales, un poquito de campo en la ciudad no viene nada mal.
Cumplen Su Cometido Con Aires Bucaneros El cuarteto musical se reúne para celebrar los 40 años del lanzamiento de la producción musical…

“Prisa Loca” fue otro de los temas que Aires Bucaneros interpretó en su reencuentro. Este tema fue compuesto por Santiago, y explica de alguna manera el estilo de vida en la ciudad donde los miembros de la agrupación se conocieron. La noche continuó con “Andando de noche sola” un poema de Juan Antonio Corretjer.
Otra de las canciones favoritas del público fue “Tierra en que nací”, en dónde el público se puso de pie al finalizar la presentación para aplaudir la interpretación de Roy Brown, Zoraida Santiago, Carl Royce y Pablo Nieves. “Estamos siendo fiel a lo que hacíamos en aquella época” expresó Brown antes de continuar con el tema “Arboles” del poeta Clemente Soto Vélez.
“Casi Alba” fue el primer poema de Julia de Burgos que Zoraida Santiago musicalizó, la interpretación fue del agrado del público tanto así que al final de la canción aplaudieron de pie.
Uno de los temas más esperado por el público fue “Oubao Moin” que a su vez fue coreado por los presentes de principio a fin y en mitad de canción se pusieron de pie para cantarla junto a la agrupación.
La velada musical iba terminando cuando el grupo cantó “Aires Bucaneros” y Ahora me despido”. Pero no se podían despedir sin cantar la favorita de los presentes “ Boricua en la luna” del poeta Juan Antonio Corretjer.
Durante toda la noche, Roy Brown y Zoraida Santiago se mostraron agradecidos con todos los músicos, productores y personal de producción que se encargó de que el reencuentro y celebración de 40 años de carrera estuviera a la altura de lo que el público esperaba.

Happy birthday, Hugo Margenat!
Hugo Margenat (October 10, 1933 – April 7, 1957), was a Puerto Rican poet and Puerto Rican Independence advocate. His art was committed to serving a militant nationalistic agenda. He was the founder of the political youth pro-independence organizations "Acción Juventud Independentista" (Pro-independence Youth Action) and the "Federación de Universitarios Pro Independencia" (University Pro-Independence Federation of Puerto Rico).
Margenat lived during an era in Puerto Rico which was full of political turmoil. The island, which Spain ceded to the United States after the Spanish-American War was governed by an American appointed governor in accordance to the Treaty of Paris of 1898. Puerto Ricans were denied the right to elect a Puerto Rican governor until 1949, when Luis Muñoz Marín became the first Puerto Rican to be elected into said position.
Various events took place in Puerto Rico during the 1930s thru the 1950s, involving the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party and the local government which influenced Margenat's political views and his way of thinking. The Río Piedras massacre on October 24, 1935, a confrontation with police at University of Puerto Rico campus in Río Piedras, in which 4 Nationalist partisans and one policeman were killed. On February 23, 1936, two Nationalists named Hiram Rosado and Elías Beauchamp, were arrested, transported to police headquarters, and executed within hours without trial for the murder of U.S. appointed Police Chief Francis Riggs. No policeman was ever tried or indicted for their deaths. On March 21, 1937, a peaceful march organized in the southern city of Ponce by the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party turned into a bloody event when the Insular Police ("a force somewhat resembling the National Guard of the typical U.S. state" and which answered to the U.S.-appointed governor Blanton Winship) opened fire upon what a U.S. Congressman and others reported were unarmed and defenseless cadets and bystanders alike killing 19 and badly wounding over 200 more, many in their backs while running away. An ACLU report declared it a massacre and it has since been known as the Ponce massacre. The march had been organized to commemorate the ending of slavery in Puerto Rico by the governing Spanish National Assembly in 1873, and to protest the incarceration by the U.S. government of nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos. Soon thereafter, the leadership of the Nationalist party, including Pedro Albizu Campos, were arrested and incarcerated for conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States.
On June 10, 1948, a bill was introduced before the Puerto Rican Senate which would restrain the rights of the independence and nationalist movements in the island. The Senate at the time was controlled by the PPD and presided by Luis Muñoz Marín. The Bill, also known as the "Ley de la Mordaza" (gag Law), made it illegal to display a Puerto Rican flag, to sing a patriotic tune, to talk of independence, and to fight for the liberation of the island. The Bill which resembled the anti-communist Smith Law passed in the United States, was signed and made into law on June 11, 1948, by the U.S.-appointed governor of Puerto Rico, Jesús T. Piñero and became known as "Ley 53" (Law 53). In accordance to the new law, it would be a crime to print, publish, sale, to exhibit or organize or to help anyone organize any society, group or assembly of people whose intentions are to paralyze or destroy the insular government. Anyone accused and found guilty of disobeying the law could be sentenced to ten years of prison, be fined $10,000 dollars (US) or both. According to Dr.Leopoldo Figueroa, a member of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives, the law was repressive and was in violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution which guarantees Freedom of Speech. He pointed out that the law as such was a violation of the civil rights of the people of Puerto Rico.
At a young age Margenat became a follower of Pedro Albizu Campos and the ideals of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party. In 1950, Puerto Ricans were sent by the United States War Department to fight in the Korean War. Those who were eligible and who did not volunteer into the military were drafted (conscription) as a result of the Jones-Shafroth Act. Among those who were drafted into the United States Army against his wishes was 18 year old Margenat. During his tour of duty he witnessed that Puerto Ricans suffered high casualties and that there were communication problems between largely white, English-speaking officers and Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican enlisted men. To this effect he wrote the poem "Mundo abierto" (Open world) in 1956 where he also makes reference to the bombardment of the town of Jayuya by the military during Jayuya Uprising led by Nationalist leader Blanca Canales, one of the many nationalist revolts which occurred in Puerto Rico on October 30, 1950.
In 1956, Margenat enrolled in the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras. He continued his political activism during his student years and in April founded the pro-independence organization "Acción Juventud Independentista" (Pro-independence Youth Action) which he presided and in October of that same year he founded another pro-independence organization, "Federación de Universitarios Pro Independencia" (FUPI) (University Pro-Independence Federation of Puerto Rico) and served as its vice president. His father, Alfredo Margenat became concerned of the younger Margenat's political activism and warned him that his actions may have a negative effect on his university education and his future as a poet, writer and citizen. However, with due time the senior Margenat was to become an admirer of his sons commitments.
On April 7, 1957 Margenat at the age of 24 years old died of Tuberculous meningitis in his house in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was buried at the Cementerio Municipal (Municipal Cemetery) San Jose in Villa Palmeras Santurce, Puerto Rico. In 1957, poet Ana Hilda Garrastegui Pellicia wrote a poem about Margenat titled "Siete Poemas a Hugo Margenat" His mother María Cristina Mediavilla, donated a collection of his written works to the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture which, under the direction of Puerto Rican poet José Manuel Torres Santiago, were published in 1974 under the title "Obras Completas" (Complete Works). Torres Santiago produced a recording of the poems with the voice of Margenat. Among the books written about Margenat are "Hugo Margenat: poeta agónico" by Dr. Ramón Felipe Medina and "Extinguished lamp: letters to Hugo Margenat, Puerto Rican poet, 1933–1957" by John Ridland. His poems have served as the inspiration for various songs. Among those are Puerto Rican singer Roy Brown's "Al frente" which was recorded in the album Roy Brown III. and Miguel Cubano's "Vendrás", recorded in the album Aires Bucaneros.

Dios es bueno
Hugo Margenat Dios es como yo, ateo, duro, navegador insondable, vagabundo de risas cortas y miradas largamente estrepitosas. Corta sábanas, trae carbón, destruye paredes, levanta barricadas, conmueve a la masa de pétalos, llama a la revolución mundial y entierra espinas de hambre cósmica. Es anticapitalista, anticlerical y antiimperialista. Dios, izquierdista, es el conspirador perpetuo.
