(1.00 / 1 vote)This is a famous photo of mine
Taken during the October missile
crisis outside the Hotel Riviera
anti-aircraft guns and cannons
We were expecting a US invasion
I took this one in 1959,
in Washington
Fidel laid a wreath
before Abraham Lincoln
It's called 'David and Goliath'
The little man and the giant
These are Che Guevara and Fidel
playing golf
Who won?
Fidel
Che let him win
Ah, the Buena Vista Social Club!
Compay Segundo! Hello!
Let's ask the old folks where
the Buena Vista Social Club is
He'll know
- We're looking for the Social Club
- The Buena Vista?
Oh, that's long gone
The Buena Vista was...let's see.
You go up that way...
- It was No 48
- Yes, but it's no longer there
OK, tell us where
It used to be
Look, you go up that way,
and you'll find it
- You used to dance there?
- Sure I did
I was born near there.
Go on the dual carriageway
It's that house, the one with
a line painted on the door
It's been gone since 1944.
I remember they used to throw
parties at the Buena Vista
In its day, the best bands
in Cuba played there
Know what I eat when I've had
too much to drink? Chicken soup
You take a piece of chicken neck
and you fry it
When it's no longer bloody,
you toss in some chopped garlic
You can still see
part of the bar
You eat that and you won't
have a hangover
That's how I stay fit.
FromAlto Cedro,
I'm going to Marcane
I get to Cueto,
then go to Mayari
The love I have foryou,
I cannot deny
My mouth is watering.
I can't help myself
Juanita and Chan Chan,
play togetheron the beach
How herbottom shakes.
How Chan Chan is aroused
Clear the path ofdry cane leaves
Because I want to sit down
On that trunk over there.
Orl might not make it
Asleep in my garden
Amid the gladioli and the roses
And the white lilies
My soul feels sad and heavy
From the flowers I wish to hide
my bitterpain
I don't want
the flowers to know...
the torments
that life gives me
If they knew
what I'm suffering...
...formy sorrows,
they would cry as well
Silence,
for they are asleep
The gladioli and the lilies
I don't want them
to know my sorrows
Forif they see me crying,
they'll die.
Omara Portuondo!
...was born in a small town,
in Santiago de Cuba
San Luis
I am the son of Aurelia Ferrer
Registered as her natural son
I say this because...
...l'd like you all
to know from me...
...who I am and what I am
At the age of twelve...
I lost my mother
I had already lost my father.
I was an orphan
I was my mother's only child
So I had to look after myself
I was at school,
where I had friends
But I had to abandon
my studies then
Life at that time wasn't
what it is now
It was harder.
You had to fend for yourself
Do you need a hand?
Ruben and I were just
taking it easy
Ruben loves to improvise,
and so do l. Let things flow
So, I started singing. I said
Compadre, pick up this tune
Two Gardenias foryou
With them I mean to say
I love you, I adore you
Pay them allyourmind.
They'll be your heart and mine
When he arrived, I had just sung
that number. To loosen up
And he recorded it
Two Gardenias foryou
With them I mean to say...
...l love you. I adore you
Pay them allyourmind.
They'll be your heart and mine
Two gardenias foryou
With all the warmth ofa kiss
Kisses you'll neverfind
in the arms ofanother
They'll live beside you,
and talk to you as I do
And you'll believe they're saying
