  • Cuban Stories: Episode 108 - The Accoucheur
    Jun 4 2024

    Vladimir, his father, and his siblings were linked to sugarcane and the sugarcane industry. Their farms were located in the municipality of Veroes, Venezuela, where many farms are dedicated to growing sugarcane, oranges, bananas, and raising cattle.

    This story is a beautiful example of how humans can step up to be extraordinary in emergency situations.

    Vladimir, su padre y sus hermanos estaban vinculados a la caña de azúcar y a la industria azucarera. Sus fincas estaban ubicadas en el municipio de Veroes, Venezuela, donde muchas fincas se dedican al cultivo de caña de azúcar, naranjas, plátanos y a la cría de ganado. Esta historia es un hermoso ejemplo de cómo los seres humanos pueden dar un paso adelante para ser extraordinarios en situaciones de emergencia.

  • Cuban Stories: Episode 81 - Punto Guajiro
    May 30 2024

    In this episode we explore Cuba’s folkloric poetry, the Punto Guajiro, through a few verses written by my cousin José Luis Rodríguez Martínez, who lives in Fomento, Cuba.

    Punto is the poetic voice of our Cuban farmers. It consists of singings an improvised or learned stanza of ten octameter verse lines, with a rhyming scheme accompanied by string instruments.

    En este episodio exploramos la poesía folclórica de Cuba, el Punto Guajiro, a través de unos versos escritos por mi primo José Luis Rodríguez Martínez, quien vive en Fomento, Cuba.

    El Punto es la voz poética de nuestros campesinos cubanos. Consiste en cantar una estrofa improvisada o aprendida de diez versos octamétricos, o sea una decima acopañado con instrumentos de cuerda.

  • Cuban Stories: Episode 107 - A Day in Hanabanilla
    May 21 2024

    If you could taste the green of the grove of palm trees, the blue of the water, and the breeze on your face as you drive toward El Escambray, tell me. What do you think it would taste like?

    Would it be like marshmallows roasting by the fire or the smoke from the fire pit? Or would it be a combination of scents that transcend olfactory comprehension?

    If it is earthy, is it sweet? Salty? Definitely not!

    Si pudieras saborear el verde del huerto de palmeras, el azul del agua y la brisa en tu cara mientras viajas hacia El Escambray, cuéntame. ¿A qué crees que sabría?

    ¿Sería como los malvaviscos asados junto al fuego o el humo de la hoguera? ¿O sería una combinación de olores que trascienden la comprensión olfativa?

    Si es terroso, ¿es dulce? ¿Salado? ¡Definitivamente no lo es!
