SINGER GLORIA STEFAN AND MARIELA CASTRO ESPIN

GLORIA STEFAN AND MARIELA CASTRO ESPIN

   The daughter of Raul Castro, a member of the Cuban parliament, said on Cuban national TV yesterday that Gloria would not succeed as a singer in Cuba, because "she does not have sandunga"
   Wounded by Stefan's statements that he would not sing in Cuba while it was not free, the town had the same right as foreign tourists and less in front of the Che Guevara sculpture.
  Let me tell you that when we were in Cuba we exchanged Gloria's cassettes to listen to her on birthdays, weddings or bithday of 15 of the young people.
  I think Mariela is based on the racial prejudices that still survive in Cuba where the Afro-descendant population tends more to enjoy the music "sandunguera" and this is nothing but bottled racism because Gloria loves everyone to dance and listen. His song "Conga" made half the world dance.
   She can talk what she wants because there is no one to reply to her- Ahh, it's the president's daughter behind the scenes.
  My mother when she came to Uruguay on vacation, one of the first things she asked me -Get me a CD from Celia Cruz, - and my mother is the daughter of emigrant Galicians and in so many decades of Revolution she had not forgotten the Guarachera de Cuba that always she denied returning to Cuba in her exile.
   Mariela Castro was wrong in her statement about Gloria which has helped to spread the Cuban rhythms around the world more successfully than any Cuban singer on the island. Silvio Rodríguez, Cuba's official singer will have Sandunga.
 She knows nothing about music or Cuban roots for an emigrant. She only sits in his office to present herself as a new face initiator of cultural and social changes.
  Shut up Mariela and leave another Cuban more exalted than you to sing to the world: "My land and Cuba libre".
   As one of her songs says:
  -The earth hurts you!
Because you are not really interested and you are divorced from the experiences of the Cuban people.

GLORIA STEFAN Y MARIELA CASTRO ESPIN

   

GLORIA STEFAN Y MARIELA CASTRO ESPIN

   La hija de Raúl Castro, miembro del parlamento cubano declaró ayer en la TV nacional cubana que Gloria no tendría éxito como cantante en  Cuba, porque “no tiene sandunga”
   Dolida por las declaraciones de la Stefan de que no cantaría en Cuba mientras no fuera libre, el pueblo tuviera el mismo derecho que los turistas extranjeros y menos frente a la escultura del Che Guevara.
  Dejame decirle  que cuando estaba en Cuba nos intercambiábamos los casetes de Gloria  para escucharla en los cumpleaños, bodas o fiestas de quince de los jóvenes.
  Creo que Mariela se basa en los prejuicios raciales que aún sobreviven en Cuba donde la población afrodescendiente  tiende más a gozar  de la música  “sandunguera” y esto no es más que racismo embotellado porque Gloria le encanta a todo el mundo para bailar y escuchar. Su  canción “Conga” hizo bailar a medio mundo.
   Ella puede hablar lo que le cante porque no hay nadie que le replique- Ahh, es hija del presidente entre bambalinas.
  Mi madre cuando vino a Uruguay de vacaciones una de las primeras cosas que me pidió- Consígueme un CD de Celia Cruz,- y mi madre es hija de gallegos emigrantes y en tantas décadas de Revolución no había olvidado a la Guarachera de Cuba que siempre se negó regresar a Cuba en su exilio.
   Mariela Castro se equivocó en su declaración sobre Gloria la cual ha contribuido a difundir los ritmos cubanos por el mundo con más éxito que cualquier cantante cubano recluido en la isla. Silvio Rodríguez, cantante oficialista de Cuba sí tendrá Sandunga.
  No sabe nada nada de música ni de raíces cubanas para un emigrado. Solo se sienta en su despacho a presentarse como una nueva cara iniciadora de cambios culturales.
  Cállate Mariela y deja a otra cubana más excelsa que tú a cantar al mundo: Mi tierra y Cuba libre.
   Como dice una de sus canciones:
  ¡La tierra te duele!
Porque a vos no te interesa verdaderamente y estas divorciada de las vivencias del pueblo cubano.
