Hasta Siempre - Comandante Che Guevara

1965 Carlos Puebla
Grupo los MAMBISES en LA HABANA VIEJA
filmed by carlos garcia 2012




A esto es lo que le temen los gánster del norte los enemigos de la humanidad.... con 60 años de bloqueo malvado, despiadado y todavía siguen con ese espíritu de amor , de alegría, de humildad y sobre todo con un corazón de oro por que esa hermandad que existen entre ellos la trasmiten a aquellos que visitan la isla. 
"Hasta Siempre, Comandante", or simply "Hasta Siempre", is a Cuban song from 1965 written by Carlos Puebla. The lyrics are an answer to the farewell letter from the revolutionary Che Guevara when he left Cuba to stir up the revolution in the Congo and later Bolivia. Here he would later be imprisoned and executed. The lyrics describe some important moments from the Cuban revolution and describe the revolutionary role of Che Guevara as a commander. The song became an icon after the death of Guevara and many cover versions were made, often by left-wing artists. The title refers to a Guevara motto, "¡Hasta la Victoria Siempre!" (Until the victory always).
