I will never get tired of listening to this.
Music by Buena Vista Social Club
Today's song is about Tula's Room catching fire because she forgot to put out her candle before falling asleep, and now the firefighters are stepping in to help.

Neither will I! Album and CD versions are both a bit shot now! But they’ve had a valued place in my collection nearly as long as my Ry Cooder albums.
My wife and I just spent six days in Havana, and they still have a club where the BVSC continues to perform (new members always join as others leave). To be honest, these days the BVSC show is aimed at tourists rather than a unique, authentic Cuban experience.
Because it is aimed at tourists, we chose to go to the La Zorra y el Cuervo Jazz Cafe instead, which was an absolutely brilliant evening of music! The band that night was entirely local Havana musicians who were all young, fresh, and fantastic players!
