JaZzArt en València

No conocía mucho de esta mujer que ejerció su arte en Cuba y fue parte de la generación de los vanguardistas. Nació en 1896 en la provincia (tradicional*) de Las Villas, y murió en 1968 en La Habana. Comenzó a los 20 años en la Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes, «San Alejandro» y recibe su diploma en 1924. En 1927 se traslada a Francia y hace muchas cortas visitas a España y a Italia. Regresó a Cuba en 1934 y lamentablemente tubo que vivir bajo la represión del sistema usurpador que desgobierna a Cuba hasta su muerte.

I did not really know much about this woman artist from Cuba that was part of the avant-guarde generation of artists. She was born in 1896 in the province (traditional*) of Las Villas and died in La Habana in 1968. At the age of 20 years she enrolled at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes «San Alejandro» and graduated in 1924. In 1927 she moved to France but made many short trips to Spain and Italy. She returned to Cuba in 1934 and lamentably she had to live under the repression of the usurper government that mal-governs Cuba until her death.

ON ROLLER SKATES

He was born on roller skates

I don’t remember the exact date

but it must have been one summer long ago,

he grew up as fast as light,

learned to think and learned to fight,

on a summer breeze so very long ago.

He left crumbles on the road,

never carried any load,

but he always had a place that he called home,

struggles? Sometimes, sometimes no,

wasn’t much he didn’t know,

but he never could resist the urge to roam.

Summer’s heat and winter’s rain,

fighting hard to beat the pain,

life ain’t easy when you swim against the flow,

shelter’s rare and hard to find,

when you’re odd and misaligned,

and you’re looking for the northern winds to blow.

Death came easy,

death came fast,

rest for weary bones at last.

As his ashes floated past my eyes of green,

a thought crossed through my head,

wondered which books he had read

to become the character he’s been.

‘Cause I’ve seen him everywhere,

lonely wonderer sans care,

a million stories of his life and crimes.

But him I did know very well,

yet his name I’ll never tell,

‘cause his memory’s forever in my mind…

The Democrats have to select a winner if not who knows! But an ex-con as president of the US? The whole democratic world hopes not!

I cannot understand why the UK government would bend to these terrorists… Oh yeah, I know why…
