There were a lot of bands in the resort and between us we bought four different CDs that they hawked. We discovered an interesting phenomenon:

It's a law in Cuba that every band must do a version of Guantanamera and include it on all their recordings.

Ok, not really, but it sure seems that way - they all had a version. Lacking knowledge of Spanish I don't know if the lyrics are identical but from what I read, they sure don't need to be.

The bands all put their own spin on things. I didn't hear a bad band while I was down there. One in particular had the lounge in the main building rocking on Saturday night. They were in the groove. Sadly didn't pick up that CD, but L did.
