SIEMPRE EN MI CORAZON
compositor: Ernesto Lecuona
version: Placido Domingo
(Lyrics)

Estas en mi corazon,
aunque estoy lejos de ti,
y es el tormento mayor,
esta fatal separacion...

Estas en mi corazon,
y en mi amarga soledad,
el recuerdo de tu amor,
disminuye mi penar...

Yo bien se que nunca mas,
en mis brazos estaras,
prisionera de un cariño
que fue toda mi ilusion,
pero nada ha de poder,
que te deje de querer,
porque como unica dueña,
estas en mi corazon.

Estas en mi corazon,
y en mi amarga soledad,
el recuedo de tu amor,
disminuye mi penar....

Yo bien se que nunca mas,
en mis brazos estaras,
prisionera de un cariño,
que fue toda mi ilusion,
pero nadie ha de poder,
que te deje de querer,
porque como unica dueña,
estas en mi corazon...

BACARDI BUILDING- Havana: " the year 1920 began the construction of this magnificent architectural jewel, representative of the Art Decó in fashion at that time. The building was designed by the architects Esteban Rodriguez Castells, Rafael Fernandez Ruenes and Jose Menendez.

Its construction cost about 400,000 pesos and last 5 years. At that moment, the tip of its main tower was the highest point of Cuba. The famous bat, symbol of the family and logo of the drink brand crowns this tower. The granite used in this construction was imported from Bavaria and Norway."

MANHATTAN IN HAVANA: The Lopez-Serrano Bldg.
"Lopez Serrano Building Built: 1932
Architect: Ricardo Mira & Miguel Rosich
Location: Vedado
The Lopez Serrano, built in 1932 by the office of Ricardo Mira and Miguel Rosich on Thirteenth and L, was among the first skyscrapers in El Vedado. Its vertical piers are stressed in the art deco manner of North American examples. According to Narisco G. Menocal, professor in the art department at the University of Wisconsin, its design closely follows that of the apartment block at One Fifth Avenue in New York City. This project was by Harvey Wiley Corbett, main partner at the firm of Helme, Corbett & Harrison. The Lopez Serrano rises ten floors, with another four in the step-back; it has a steel structure and brick walls. The ground plan is H-shaped for the sake of maximum illumination and ventilation in the apartments, of which there are eight on each standard floor."

You have captured a beautiful aray of art deco elements within Cuba, accented them with interesting pictorial and historical detail and set it all to nice choices in music.

[albertdiner]

Thank you so much for your comment.

I hope to find more art deco photos from

Havana to make another video. The good

thing is that those buildings are still

standing. many art deco buildings have

been torn down elsewhere.

[caupoli]

felicitaciones! muy buenas fotos la arquitectura deco en cuba es muy fuerte y una de las mas impresionantes de latinoamerica lamentablemente muchas cosas se han perdido pero espero que algun dia de lo que ha sobrevivido sea restaurado y no cementificado. una cosa de liberty a cuba tienes algo? gracias

@inbrooklyn2008

Bullshit ! It was prescisly in the most glamouros capitalist time frame of Cuba and due to Capitalism that these pieces of art were created in Havana. You only should go to Cuba in person and see first hand in what stage of deterioration these buildings are due to the disgraceful Castro's Regime. It had to be thanks to a foreigner like "albertdiner" who surely being a porfessional connaisseur of this type of art and who while making this was crying and later making touch up.

Fidel Castro es todo un mentiroso, acabo de ver esos videos, casi todos fueron construidos muchos años antes de la fracasada Revolución Cubana. Conozco muchos lugares habaneros que aparecen en el video que puedo mencionar, el Palacete Baro-Lasa, Teatro Fausto, residencia del Primer Vicepresidente de Cuba Luis Estevez y Romero, entre ellas.

¡¡¡¡¡¡BOITEL, POLLAN y ZAPATA VIVEN!!!!!!

¡¡¡¡¡VIVA CUBA LIBRE Y DEMOCRATICA!!!!!

[thelonelyslayer]

@albertdiner would you happen to know what year "la conga blicoti" was first released?

[agcuba1]

@Lindscert ES ALGO MARAVILLOSO EL ART DECO Y CUBA ES LA MEJOR DE TODO EL MUNDO EN ESO, HAY PRECIOSOS EDIFICIOS EN CUBA QUE SON FIEL REPRESENTACION DE ESTA ARQUITECTURA, ES UNA PENA QUE LA DICTADURA HAYA DESTRUIDO MUCHAS DE ESAS OBRAS DE ARTE DE LA ARQUITECTURA. PERO ESPEREMOS QUE LO QUE QUEDA EN PIE AUN SE MANTENGA A TRAVES DEL TIEMPO. VIVA CUBA Y SU ART DECO.
