INDEPENDENT LENS La Lupe Queen Of Latin Soul | PBS

[bltsrmsqt]

Most of the truly talented left Cuba after Castro took power- so that all you had left were fawning, mediocre, official "experts" like the Cuban guy being interviewed. Looks gay.

[Solful38]

@bltsrmsqt That's not true. I went to Cuba recently & they have some of

the most talented people in the world. I'm talking about cab drivers that will

blow you away. I met Arsenio Rodriguez' nephew. He is one of the greatest

singers I've ever heard just wasting away. Cuba needs to be free once &

for all so the world can really see how incredible these people are.

LA LUPE SIEMPRE SERA LA YIYIYI LA MEJOR, PERO CONO DEJEN A CELIA TRANQUILA, NO SEAN TAN IDIOTAS ELLAS ERAN AMIGAS, LA DECICION DE NO DEJAR A LA YIYIYI NO FUE DE CELIA CONO CARAJO, FUE DE LOS JEFES, LOS QUE AMINISTRAVAN LOS GRUPOS Y LOS ARTISTAS, QUE DESCANSEN EN PAS LAS REINAS DE MI CUBA (CELIA Y LA UNICA LA LUPE)

[puertorricane]

mil veces mejor que celia cruz pero la fania la margino porque celia no se llevaba con la lupe y eso joido a la lupe... para que vean que siempre unos pocos controlan los medios y deciden quien pega y quien no

[PornoPlaylist]

What song is she singing in this video please?

[richierichnumber1]

Viva La Lupe

[stat3man]

What a bunch of baloney from this guy being interviewed. The artists, singers, etc., "couldn't assimilate." No, excuse me. It was the revolution that could not tolerate free expression. That's why so many great talents like La Lupe were gone as early as 1960.

[BXGUY73]

@stat3man The greatest of them all remained in Cuba, BENNY MORE, and Cuba lost their talent for a moment because they still had many others, Los Van Van, Orq. Reve, Conjunto Rumbavana, and the ones they have today. The Buena Vista Social Club singers also remained in Cuba. So, whoever left, left cause they wanted to and those who stayed, stayed cause they wanted to.

[bltsrmsqt]

@stat3man

That "expert" is on a government payroll ---- there's that lingo/mode of discoursing which marks him out to anyone who's dealt with the Cuban intelligentsia.

[yoseph777]

[chicaastuta2002]

Ok, when in the world is the La Lupe Independent Lens coming back on?! I've been mad at PBS since this was first "aired" because it did not come on in my area (I was in Louisiana at the time). Everytime I go to the PBS website to check, I get nothing. It's not even on DVD yet. Help!

[foxxycleopatra1979]

hey does anyone know the name of the song during the first 7 seconds? I dont think its part of fever...

[arrecotinarrecotan]

la gran mentira o la mentira

[Jc22ny]

@foxxycleopatra1979 Yes Its La Lupes Version of fever

[charliplin]

Lástima que los buenos se fueron y lo que tenemos es chabacano, vulgar y sin talento artístico alguno, es música desechable que se olvidará muy pronto. Contrario al pasado que cada día sentimos más deseo de escuchar y disfrutar.

[guariban]

Es verdad en parte lo del comentario anterior. Pero "La Lupe" en el gran fenómeno cubano de muchos años. Mejor que muchas que fueron más famosas. No recordara sería imperdonable y para los que no la conocieron por lo menos así la conocen. Una gran mujer, una gran voz, una lástima que no la reconocieron en vida. Una lástima como terminó su vida. Pero gracias "La Lupe" por tu voz y por lo que nos diste y nos das. Bravo mil veces!!!!

[nororim]

muchos homenajes le an dado despues de muerta, mundo hipocrita y cruel.ya despues de muerta para que tanto homejo hipocritamente,rendido,cuando la avandonaron en vida.

[xta51]

Eso es cierto nororim, todos la olvidaron, quedo en el olvido por muchos anos, y despues que Almodovar uso uno de sus temas a principios de los 90, fue que volvieron a acordarse un poco de ella..!

[AlaricePent]

I like this version better....

[josecarltc]

me gustan las 2 versiones de Fiebre de la Lupe

[AlaricePent]

what version of "Fever" is that? because its not the same on itunes. :(

[gambler6]

Conformismo vulgar las palabras del cubano

[ContrastY]

El Fiebre, an awesome cover of Peggy Lee's Fever. Only ten years ago, nearly a decade after she died, I learned of La Lupe after hearing her version of this tune, it is dynamic.

[gbb23]

she's singing "fever".

[NEWYORKLIBRE]

She was not a communist!

[Stephanie198907]

Fidel and Che were hot back in the day!

[Weillfanatic]

I concur.

[axismundi]

What time is she singing in the beggining?

[mikeherna57]

Cuando llegaron los barbudos la Lupe apenas comenzaba, no pudo asimilar los cambios y salio al exilio para bien y para mal...

[juanbosco31]

Esto de que va? this is a waste of time........

[dieudonneMC]

love this woman, too bad I discover her after she has passed on.

[mpasencio]

Pobrecita..

[delmonacotenor]

Pobrecita quién y por qué?

[shaspassren]

I LOVED the La Lupe biography lat nite. She will always be the queen

[adelgado75]

I watched the documentary last night.  I am glad it finally aired.

[Lumaxsa]

Monday Sept 10, and on the 16th. PBS stations La Lupe the Queen of Latin Soul. Catch it.

[CAIOYA]

AAAAAAAAAY AAAAAY AY

[magillazmygorilla]

I stumbled upon this documentary about a month ago at about Midnight...I've been obsessed with this woman ever since lol

[ladylavoe]

im really dyin to know if it aired or not in NYC (Queens)...i juss want to be able to catch on seeing it and La Lupe is one of the best lived singer and My Queen Ay! so yea plz

[MrOshun]

Its messed up but they have yet to air it in the tri state...They only aired this in Florida... I was looking for it on youtube

[soyeltiempo]

me lo perdi,pero espero que lo repitan..thats a must see documental.

[Lumaxsa]

I called pbs for the tri-state area. It will show in mid September. I too am looking forward to seeing this. This lady was spectacular

[dontellmamaplse]

la lupe fue la cronica de un vacilon latinoamericano, tributo a un ataque de amor, mal gusto desgarramiento y decadencia de una cultura, fue unica,sin previa copia, una loca maravilla,... fue la mejor!!!

[dontellmamaplse]

ayayayayyyyyyyyy!!!

[ShortiDandi]

Where can i find this version of La Lupe's Fever. Because i have all her 27 albums and none of them contains this version

[kungfupimp]

I was lucky to catch this purely by accident when it came on PBS in Tucson Tuesday night. I really feel for anyone who wants to see this and haven't had the chance yet. It's a really good documentary and a fitting tribute to our "other" queen.

[snailpaw]

This aired last night in Pittsburgh. It was incredible!

[prjr1973]

This did not air whenthey said it was going to air, what the HELL happened? I have been waiting for this for the longest time, and when it was about to air, some other crap premiered. WHAT HAPPENED?!

[wrayc]

I attended a screening of this in miami beach at an art gallery about 2 years ago. Out of the blue tonight I happened to look at the tv schedule and noticed it was on but I missed it. Appearantly it isnt scheduled for rebroadcast anytime soon, so please PLEASE if anyone got a copy of this try to upload it to youtube or if anything contact me. Thankyou!

[polizuelanmami]

When is this airing on PBS? I don't see it advertised for Seattle, Washington. Grr!

[PBS]

To see when this film is airing in your area, go to the Web address at the end of the video's description.

It's pbs dot org slash independentlens slash broadcast.html

[polizuelanmami]

Unfortunately, I already tried that. It didn't work. They only showed THE PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL.  Thanks anyway.

[tnrc75]

Check the PBS website or your local PBS affiliate's website.

[polizuelanmami]
