   You're welcome! I first heard Silvio Rodriguez on a gift mix-tape from girl I met in a post-office in Mexico. And then a Spanish guy that could do the _Carmen_ dances and headed the Spanish-themed part of the dorm at college put Silvio Rodriguez songs on a mix-tape too. I thought a woman was singing Play Giron and that she was too powerful for me to understand yet... I should find those mix-tapes and a cassete-player. One tape was my introduction to Oscar Chavez!

     A quick search got me to an on-line video of Silvio Rodriguez performing #PlayaGirón, The audience participation is very moving... the feeling in the faces as they sing along with the performer..

     @bsmall2@mstdn.jp @bsmall2@zotum.net And a great performance from Silvio Rodriguez too: understated but emphatic. Beautiful. Thank you.

     I was introduced to the sounds of Leo Ferre (Léo Ferré, Les Anarchistes, La solitude) and one of the songs got me thinking of Silvio Rodriguez and Playa Girón. It was good to look into the song I first heard decades ago. Snatches of the song come to mind a lot, but I never took the time to read the whole song and get a better idea of what it's all about.
