Another one that everyone knows. And just to prove it we have versions from Canada (Les Milady's), the USA (Arlen Roth), Argentina (Crosstown Traffic), France (Los Machucambos), Hong Kong (Bei Lei) and even Cuba (Joseito Fernandez). Fernandez' version is the original one. Later the lyrics were changed (from a poem by Jose Marti) to create the Guantanamera we know today.
Pictured, the fellow who got this whole Guantanamera thing rolling: Joseito Fernandez
On the video, the fellow who changed Guantanamera from a Cuban favourite to a world favourite: Pete Seeger.
