Today in Labor History February 24, 1895: Revolution broke out in Baire, near Santiago de Cuba. This was the beginning of the Cuban War of Independence (1895-1898). The liberation war ended with the Spanish-American War and the U.S. taking Cuba as a colony. Some of the more well-known commanders of the Cuban revolution were the poet Jose Marti (composer of “Guantanamera”) and Afro-Cuban Antonio Maceo, the Titan of Bronze.

Finally catching up with Money Heist (we're a bit behind everyone else) and they were singing Guantanamera and now the chorus is stuck in my head and it's no bad thing.

Guantanameeeeeera!
