History

Excerpt


Céspedes’ presidency did not last long and neither did the tenure of his successor. From Machado's departure in 1933 until 1936 there was one president after another in Cuba. Some lasted a day, some longer, depending on how much they would comply with Batista’s agenda.

History




Excerpt
........Machado complied and left Cuba, appointing Carlos Manuel de Céspedes acting president. Later ex-president Machado was amnestied for extending his presidency and in 1950, the Cuban Congress declared Geraldo Machado de facto President of Cuba from 1929 to 1933, thus legitimizing his second term.

Song from my childhood


Canto de mi infancia, song from my childhood.  If you understand Spanish, google it and play it, but make sure you have a handkerchief ready especially if you had an abuelita.

Di por qué dime abuelita,
Di ¿por qué eres viejita?
Di ¿por qué sobre las camas
ya no te gusta brincar?.

Di ¿por qué, usas los lentes?
Di ¿por qué, no tienes dientes?
Di ¿por qué, son tus cabellos
como la espuma del mar?

Micifuz, siempre está
junto al calor, igual que tú.

Di por qué, frente al ropero
donde hay, tantos retratos,
di ¿por qué, lloras a ratos?
Dime abuelita, ¿por qué?.

Di por qué
frente al ropero, donde hay
tantos retratos, di ¿por qué
lloras a ratos? Dime abuelita
¿por qué?

Cri- Crí, Character
