Join Tom Wilmer and Cuba expert and renowned travel journalist Christopher P. Baker, who explains the history and significance of “Guantanamera”–the iconic Cuba song made famous by Pete Seeger in 1963 on his peace album “We Shall Overcome.” We’ll hear why this beautiful and simple song, with its irresistible rhythm and lyrics, holds such poignant memories for Christopher… and why it represents so much about Cuba that he holds dear.
