A short story of Fidel
Fidel and Che Guevara are two Mountains Contemporary History, which can be seen clearly by his revolutionary stature as a living example, in one case, and as imaginary in the other, of resistance and independence. His actions and his political thought are recognized in Latin America and the African continent as a foundation for the liberation of peoples.

The Island of Cuba is surrounded by irrational blockade for more than half a century by an imperialist power, which prevents their development at all costs, and yet has managed to put in a very short time at the forefront of education, science, health and sport in our countries, all of which Cuba will always have an appreciation and respect of decent men, free and positive.
That the U.S. intelligence agencies, the most powerful criminal in the world, have tried, without success, to end the Cuban revolution and even kill one of its key leaders have only made the greatness of the people and that of a man whose image is projected into the world like a giant. On the huge
Fidel, my father wrote children-maybe for my grandchildren, "a story of those who had a minute to read them some afternoon:
Fidel Castro.
Giant Fidelón
by: Gonzalo Guerrero Celi
When Fidel Castro lived
I also lived. He
his way in Havana
I on this earth, in my opinion.
This, this was like a giant Monstro,
As these are discovered
In large excavations: Millions of years
had. Such human
not die for nothing,
Neither the CIA could kill him,
were tired of trying.
And I, I had it in the day,
At night, every moment, walking shadow
As
To all the spaces;
I spoke, I was teaching, I said
struggle with the poor ... This is
did ... I can die happy
to have known about
This Story Mountain. My grandchildren will envy
Grandfather lived
At the same time the mountain revolutionary
At the same time that the giant Fidelón.

There are reports that this song has come to formalize, but it certainly is a historical document the process of the national anthem and independence of the Cuban island.
Cuban National Anthem
Standard Ascencio
salute the Cuban people and raise their sacred banner
Sea and free, sovereign also
Destroying the audacious oppressor.
After centuries of cruel captivity
Finally the Ibero smashes Cuba, will break
expensive chain free nation which rose
His banner flutters spotless
shading
That Cuban nobles proud to be sovereign
No more, say no more oppression.
not dismayed, O Cuba, in the fight
incessantly fighting the tyrant and the voice
Liberty
dilate your soil In the roar of cannon.
And after humiliating the Ibero
Your warriors human forgive
That chest only
Americans cherish mercy and forgiveness.
Ecuador and Cuba now
on Cuba-Ecuador relations today we can say that doctors, artists and teachers from decades, have lent their quota for free in music programs, and scientific literacy as a contribution to the Ecuadorian people, in this moment, several doctors are visiting hundreds of families with disabled people, providing direct medical aid.
is also true that there are unhappy, what I can vouch for I live in a suburb of Quito called La Florida (many say, by way of grace, that Cubans were wrong and they really wanted to go to Miami Florida ) where many Cubans have been established in order to move to the United States after the American dream. " I've heard tell these people, when they arrived, how be dazzled when you enter the supermarket, also dazzled by the lavish houses and luxury cars available to a small social group and other wonders sumptuary dazzled by capitalism, many speak against Fidel and gossip to be organizing anti-communist front. The truth is that in most cases, printing is just a flash that temporarily blinds and turns off when in our country have to live how they live crammed into small rooms, misunderstood because they belong to another culture, adapting to a different climates, struggling to fit in wearing the latest fashion and above all looking for life on a dollar for dollar means even hostile portal work with them and unworthy to their expectations. Certainly some of these people are prepared, hardworking and an arrogance that comes to annoy some of our countrymen, but must acknowledge, even unhappy, that everything that I learned in revolutionary Cuba, where it does not lower his head against the enemy is so close and is considered the most powerful country on Earth (but which have generally beaten the smaller countries like Vietnam and did so bravely faced as Cuba).

If Quito Light was declared the nineteenth-century America, Cuba is the Light of Contemporary America, the fact that Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Bolivia and other countries have decided to take socialist destinations today, is because the struggle and revolutionary thought-that seeks to eliminate social inequalities that were capitalized in the twentieth century in Latin America, have had their right ... History will tell.
Cuba will . In the Eighties - the collection of Peter Pino-label heard this song sung by Milanes and Silvio Rodriguez Nicola; recently been expended on youtube and even a new version more rock.
