Humor Satírico: LA MUERTE DE FIDEL CASTRO. Primera parte. Fragmento de la novela Los Dioses también ríen Orlando Vicente Álvarez

   LA MUERTE DE FIDEL CASTRO.  Primera parte.
  Fragmento de la novela Los Dioses también ríen
   Orlando Vicente Álvarez   


   En Cuba la dictadura castrista arrasó con todo. Primero  exilió a los Reyes Magos, la Navidad –eran tan lindas con todo eso de los camellos trayendo regalos, los villancicos y los caramelos que aún les echamos de menos- y a casi todos los curas. Ni los Mormones- que parecen estar en todas partes- pudieron penetrar aquella muralla de ateísmo instituido por el estado. Las iglesias parecían centros de reuniones de ancianos que ya no podían emigrar y se consolaban con sus rosarios
   Castro adoraba los  cohetes- tenía un juego en miniatura y soñaba con lanzarlos a todo país que no fuera como él quería. Hasta le pidió a la Unión Soviética un regalo especial: todo un arsenal de armas atómicas capaces de quemarle el culo hasta los aleutianos de Alaska, furioso el tipo, Ahh. Pero Kennedy y Kruchov llegaron a un acuerdo y retiraron las bombas nucleares, para decepción de Castro que las quería cerquitas, bien cerquitas.
   Y empezó el Comunismo y solo quedaron las misas o Bembés, y Changó, Ochun y todos los  Orichas juntos. Al lado de mi casa vivían unos blancos- todavía nos llamábamos entre nos gusanos blancos, no por el color de la piel sino porque  le temíamos al comunismo. Cuando yo escuchaba  el toque  de los bongóes me deslizaba por la terraza de nuestro garaje para presenciar de primera mano algún exorcismo o una limpieza de cuerpo entero que  se hacía a golpes de gajos y  resoplando alcohol y tabaco por la sacerdotisa- que era una vieja blanca experta  en invocar toda una  cohorte de demonios a los cuales yo les pedía que no me hicieran daño ni a mí ni a mi familia.

   Después la hija mayor, la nieta de la Babalao, se enamoró de un oficial del Ministerio del Interior, entonces  se convirtieron en gusanos verde olivo y clausuraron el bembé que amenizaba nuestras noches de aburrimiento y llenaba nuestros  sueños de demonios de toda índole. Hasta ahí duró la amistad entre las dos familias: los gusanos blancos, nosotros, que esperábamos emigrar y los gusanos verde olivo, porque comunistas no eran, simple apariencia. Al punto estaban nuestras relaciones que unas matas de jugosos mangos y  de tiernos anones manteca de su patio se desperdigaba por la azotea  de nuestro garaje y nosotros, temblando de tentación, no nos atrevíamos tocarlos. Esfuerzo de niños ingenuos hasta que la política que implantó Castro nos dividió.

AHH ... THE DECADE OF THE 70 IN GUANTÁNAMO


    It was the glory days of our lives. It was a very special decade, especially when we were in pre-university and we were grouped in tribes. The girls were Catholic, white, pretty and formal. They were the best grades and they were quiet and well-groomed. Some of their pride did not allow the males with the cojones well put near them. Some had boyfriends of years superior and so haughty as they.
    Another tribe were the girls in the pile where black, jabas and mulattoes existed. Here there were some with fame of futas and lesbians. This tribe was the largest, they got bad grades and it was the group that organized the private parties on Saturday nights and dressed in style. It was the time of the hairstyles spell droons, in men their heads looked like balls and their bell-bottoms and tight shirts seemed out of the top of a vinyl.
    But those of us who truly felt like Gods were the ones who listened to AFRTS, the American naval station that listened perfectly throughout Guantanamo and put the Hit Parade on Sundays and updated music every day. There was always someone who recorded that American music that made us crazy. There was also American television that looked nebulous but allowed us to watch the Soul Train dance program that taught us the style that those times were being danced in America.
    Someone always brought some drinks to brighten up the atmosphere. Disco began and our youth, our eagerness to live, our unconcern, made us spin and spin as if we were the owners of the world.
    The decade of the 70 in Guantanamo was unique in all the island of Cuba. I know it's only rock'n'roll but I like it, that song will be in my teenage memories when we thought we were the owners of the world.

#cuba A DAY IN A RIVER OF GUANTANAMO WITH THE FAMILY




A DAY IN A RIVER OF GUANTANAMO WITH THE FAMILY


        After 18 years without visiting the island of Cuba from Uruguay I am given permission to go. Without fear of the gendarmes I stroll through the city of Guantánamo.
      The family decides to go to the river, not a river like the ones here, but something like a flowing stream that reaches the waist.
      My nephew Joe, as a good Cuban, has been hired and he has transformed a Chevrolet 50 'truck into a modern transport trailer to give trips to Havana to earn a few dollars that do not come badly.
   It is unbearably hot. We take a pork already cooked, rice, beans and pintones platanos. I go ahead with the driver who is my cousin. On the way we bought beer and put it in a tub of hard plastic and sawdust. My mother goes to my side and squeezes against me as if to lose me.
   Along the way there are tamarind trees full of fruits and more in front of colorful mangoes than here in Uruguay rarely seen.
   Climbing the hill of La Herradura I see the buildings far away from the American Naval Base that brings me traumatic memories.
   At last we arrived at an entrance where a truck easily fits and we entered through it to an esplanade surrounded by mangroves in full parity.
   We go down and that looks like an army. The children run to the fruits and the elders to the river. There we ordered. Ruben my brother makes a fire with wood and places the meat on a barbecue. While my wife, discreet not to attract attention, goes peeling the bananas and my mother-in-law prepares the rice with beans.
   My brother, who also lives in Uruguay, has brought his Uruguayan wife who is fed up with mangoes in the river: red, large, pulpy mangoes, difficult to resist temptation. Then she would pay for it with uncontrollable diarrhea, she does not have enzymes to digest such a load.
   I enter the water with my son Orlandito and we frolic joyfully, then joins my daughter Jennifer and we water like three children. And the rest of the family comes: Joe and his wife and their children and other cousins ​​to bathe and keep their backs under the water because the sun burns. I sit next to mama and my Uruguayan brother and we throw it to the river with clothes and all. She complains but it shows she likes it.
   They are taking out the cold beers They are delicious! I follow in the water looking at my children and my heart is oppressed. It's a good thing my face is wet and you can not see the tears.
   They call us to eat. The congrí with platanoes pinton is good and the piece of suckling is the best. I get sick until I do not give more. So do the others. I take pictures of the groups in different tasks and have fun in the water. I look at my children below the water and look like a dilute kaleidoscope that has been wet forever.
   After waiting a while we are going to bathe and let ourselves be dragged by the current a few meters without losing sight of us. The boys have brought a bottle of Habana Club and making a circle go passing one by one while joking joyfully. I do not participate, I'm sitting next to my mother and I put an arm over her shoulder. My other brother does the same.
   Nightfall. The boys pick up handles mangoes to take them home and keep eating. We are back in the middle of the night. My wife prepares a red bean stew that I like. Already bathed, I go out to the corridor to take the cool and I do not know why I am annoying. I miss Uruguay. I feel that after 18 years I have taken root there, it is where I belong and that Guantánamo I go as a tourist.

#Uruguay #puntadeleste SUMMER PUNTAESTEÑO SEEN BY A GUANTANAMERO



SUMMER PUNTAESTEÑO SEEN BY A GUANTANAMERO



   It is full summer in Punta del Este. The sun bites the skin and the sea is bluer. The atmosphere has changed. We are invaded by Argentinian and Brazilian tourists with their convertible Audi and Mercedes Benz. It is a delight to see them roam the streets at full speed.
    The Cacho's Post has opened for the season. The sight rejoices between so much greenness and the color of the fruits, some exotic for me.
   I go to the beach, to La Mansa which is more quiet and has a better view with the island of Gorriti and the cruises to the front. They have built a wooden walkway along the beach where tourists on foot can admire the view and stroll along the entire shore. I wear short , t-shirt and slippers and my digital photo camera.

   No one is bathing despite the prevailing heat. I go down to the shore and put my feet in the water. This frost! How can it be? It seems that Antarctica is closer than the tropics.

   There are umbrellas lined up everywhere where the richest classes sit down to sunbathe, especially in front of the Casino Conrad Hotel which has a hostel in front of the other side of the promenade, near the shore and two flags announcing the rum Havana Club to cool off with a Cuban daiquiri or mojito. This reminds me of my land.

   I see the water skis lined up near the shore ready to be rented. In the sea, at a short distance, I see two motorcycles competing in a mad and humid race towards eternity if they do not slow down.
   I stop to enjoy a mojito. They are not like those of Cuba, they lack the file as Hemingway liked in the Floridita of Habana. Anyway, ice and yerba Buena and sugar make the taste delicious. I take it by sips, so that it is eternal, so that it never ends.


   The sun burns the skin, I do not have time to travel all the beach until arriving at the port where lined luxury yachts and other more discreet. I take some photos to remember that hot afternoon on the beach in the middle of Punta del Este when I am older, if God permits.
