teikirisi

it's no wonder cubans have a saying, "sin azúcar no hay país" -- "without sugar there is no country." sugar cane, sugarcrats, sugar daddies, slave plantations, and the never-ending pursuit of autonomy, to look at cuba's history, we need a cafecito with good espumita. in this episode, carmen & fryda crack open the history books and take you on a sweet ride.
