jupiña tastes like pineapple in the same way that fanta tastes like orange, meaning it’s made like lacroix is but instead of too little it’s too much and also barely recognizable as having been inspired by a fruit

[cubansailorvenus]

this one time when I was living in Orlando, this white breadass man was bragging about how Cuban soda—not coffee, soda—was like crack, and my Cuban self was just all “my guy, that’s not how Cuban soda is supposed to hit you, it’s not supposed to hit you at all, it’s soda”

Saw this yesterday (05-08-20) while I was on my way to pick up dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Sacramento and to buy some groceries. This car with the unicorn on top appeared in front of me just as I started driving. I followed it for about a mile, a couple of times losing it. (Good thing I live in a small town.) It made me very happy. And yes, I was using my phone to record while driving, but there was no other traffic and no one out on the street, as you can see. 

Afterward, when I got home, I was thinking about how cool this was, but then it hit me: This is the ultimate expression of privilege, even while it is also a heartwarming expression of loving creativity and a desire to spread a little physical distance joy. What I mean is that in poorer areas, you will not have someone be able to afford to drive around a big, expensive SUV with a big, expensive inflatable unicorn on top. And no, I am not criticizing the people who did it; I am grateful to them, because they brought a smile to my face and they gave me a beautiful surprise jolt of joy. Still, that does not negate that this is a perfect example of how COVID19 is revealing the great economic division in our system. So often life can be contradictory, so this COVID19 period we are living through is no different. 

Anyway, FYI about the music and ringtone. The song is “Agua Pa’a Ti,” sung by our beloved Celia (Cruz) with La Sonora Matancera, coincidentally, the band she left Cuba with in 1960. BTW, she is “our beloved Celia” to those of us in exile, outside Cuba. Even though her fame took hold in Cuba and parts of Latin America starting in the late 40s, the post-1959 Cuban government erased her and the famed orchestra from history in a very 1984 way as soon as they left the island. When she died in 2003, many around the world mourned her, but in Cuba, nada. To the government in Cuba, one of our great national treasures never existed, and all because of politics. However, she is memorialized by the Smithsonian Institute here and here. In 2006, the Smithsonian also had a Celia Cruz exhibition, which later travelled to several US museums. I was able to see it in Los Angeles’s California African-American Museum. And yes, while I was there I cried several times. 

The song you hear in the background is a prayer to the Afro-Cuban orisha Yemayá. The “one ringy dingy” (Lily Tomlin as Ernestine the operator, a popular Laugh-In from the late 60s; you can see a clip here) is my phone call ringtone. I got a call from a friend and because the music was coming from my phone via bluetooth, it stopped playing. The phone vibrates when I get a call, which is why the video is shaky.

Anyway, here is a video clip Celia and the Sonora Matancera performing “Agua Pa’a Ti.” I believe the clips in the video of Celia and the orchestra are either from Cuban TV, right before they left the island, or from one of their early TV appearances in exile. Sadly, BTW, the post-1959 Cuban government never allowed Celia to return to her native land. 

She did return to Cuba in 1990, to perform at Guantanamo. The clip below is the second part of a segment about her visit to Guantanamo, made after her death. One of the songs is “Por Si Acaso No Regreso,” which means In Case I Don’t Return. Makes me cry every time I listen to it. 

Our beloved Celia appeared in a couple of films, including The Mambo Kings. Below is montage of her scenes in the movie, which includes one of her singing a salsa song in English and one of her singing her classic, “Guantanamera.” It ends with her singing a duet with Albita: “Por Si Acaso No Regreso.”

Finally, two videos of her performing in Cuba. I know the first one was in Cuba for sure, because the “JUPIÑA” signs are for a Cuban soft drink called Jupña, which was a pineapple soft drink that kinda tastes like cream soda, and it was not produced in the US until the mid 60s or a little later.

Funny how writing about an inflated unicorn on top of an SUV turned into a nostalgic recollection.

Oh well.

Big physical distance hug.
