This is such an amazingly killer jam. They just RIP it up, all live, all in one room. Friggin' incredible.

Good old Europe....

Americans = people of America

South Americans = people of South America

South America = the south side of America

so, why south americans are not americans??

I awoke this morning to the awesome sounds of the great soneros Ibrahim Ferrer and Manuel Licea. As a Boriqua living in Alaska, its not often that I get to listen to Salsa or any of it's children. Thanks Radio Paradise!!

For those of you who have decided to carry on with the politics of hate and ignorance I'll leave you with a often stated thought. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. The corollary, its the other guy's that stinks.

The misunderstanding stems from the name America. In most western languages, aside English, America is meant to be a continent. Hence north, central and south America. From Alaska to Patagonia.

Hence the USA is the United States of America. The confusion is neither "United States" nor "America". The problem has always been the "of".

Saying that "America" belongs to everyone in the continent is grammatically correct. Canadians and Argentinians, and everyone in between are Americans, much like Greeks and Finnish are both Europeans.

The shortcoming of the English language is mistaking "America" when one means "the US". To the best of my knowledge, this was brought about by the British, not by the US, for lack of a better name.

All said, this argument to who belongs where, for economic reasons or otherwise, is pointless. And sad.

Remember that scene in Godfather II?

Correct. The Americas (NB) include the USA and that other large continent separated by a man-made water course whence these grooves emanate. Wake up and smell the coffee.

No. Evidently some think that if they set foot on our soil, no matter where they are from, they are entitled to the same benefits as a legal American citizen. WRONG!

Many of the illegal immigrants that are apprehended attempting to cross the southern border from Mexico are from other countries, not just South America.

DON'T GET ME STARTED.................

This song still sucks..........

I thought America was for South Americans and North Americans.

As a European, I'm always mildly amused by Americans who violently oppose to "immigrants" invading their country. Supposing Glockman is a real name, he's probably Jewish and originally from a European country. But any other name will do as well, underlining the staggeringly simple fact that ALL Americans are originally immigrants (except of course the indians, but I wouldn't dare, as a European, to enter into that discussion).
Apart from all this, I really wonder if Bill shouldn't be a bit stricter in the comment rules, concerning abuse.

I dig the groove on this song - a real toe tapper!

I just came back from my second trip to Cuba. Strolling groups of musicians--old men, mainly--are to be found everywhere, and they are quite accomplished, albeit limited in range, in songs they play.

THE BVSC got me into Cuban music big time! Ry Cooder is the man...

Agreed, with the addition that if you're not dancing, you should be playing drums or congas. Great time either way.

wondering where you'd fit into your worldview the fact that US companies import Mexican, among other, workers to work in hospitals as cleaners, for example, based exclusively on the fact that they'll work for less, yet deprive them the opportunity to matriculate as citizens... screwing simultaneously US workers/employers and the immigrants themselves, and ironically provoking conservative idiots to place blame on the immigrants...
actually don't have a huge argument against the economic osmosis but the outcries need to be measured.

What does this have to do with Buena Vista Social Club? They're from Cuba and the last time I checked Cuban's have special political refugee status. Maybe RP became a Fox News affiliate when I wasn't watching.
