I just found out about the heated discussions which the trailer provoked!

In my opinion everybody is worth the same, black, white, colored, yellow, red, ... whatever!

Even though I think it's about ethics to be aware about who invented something and who depressed the other.

There is a big part of black roots in the entire cuban culture, but there are also influences of the spanish traditions and influences of the us american tradition in Jazz, Gospel, Funk, Hip-Hop, even Rockn Roll ...

We are very sorry to comment that Macho Crespo Richa died today. He was ill for quite some time but this is a hard time for the family ...

En paz descanse ...

This indicates that slaos is not a puertorican music like many think but Cuban in oriigin, the true afro-boricua music is bomba and plena.

This is a very rich culture between ethnic groups: Fon, Nago and Yoruba all with the same ancestry from the empire of West Africa.
