What song are you listening to?

Joan Baez's version of the girl from guantanamera


Guantnamera was a Cuban patriotic song which uses the lyrics of Cuban poet Jose Marti. For a bit of fun this is a great version to listen to.


One of Joan's many albums was sang entirely in Spanish and was basically a tribute to all South Americans who had endured continual USA interference in their local politics over the decades.I rate Joan Baez along with Edith Piaf as among the greatest female singers of the 20th century(Bessie Smith also deserves a mention)
