Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Message Board - CUBA -- Art & Soul https://www.zihuatanejo.net/tablero/ Information for visitors and locals about Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, Troncones, Barra de Potosí and the surrounding region of the Costa Grande in Guerrero, Mexico en CUBA -- Art & Soul (reply) Oeste, I have a feeling you'll find my reflections on Cuban art less than a rigorous analysis. I didn't really set out to do a piece on art -- just happened to come across more of it than I'd expected, and found it refreshing.

There was a literary discussion ages ago between Eastern block and USA writers including Philip Roth. I recall the phrase "when nothing is possible, everything matters and when everything is possible, nothing matters." Let's see whether that thesis statement is supported by the evidence in your post!:-)

Ever heard of Jane Bunnet? She is a jazz flautist (sp) and soprano sax player from Canada who has played and recorded with Cuban musicians :rockband: for decades. No embargo for Canada. The USA fined Ry Cooder $100,000 for his work with Cuban musicians:devil: ; Canada gave him an Honourary Ph. D. (Queen's University):badass: .

Never been but smoke the cigars!
