A word about May 19





We remember May 19:

Music files:  Estela Raval was born May 19, 1935 in Argentina.   She was the lead vocalist for Los Cinco Latinos, a great Spanish pop group from the 1950's and 1960's.  She died on June 6, 2012.  

Cuban history:  Jose Marti was killed on May 19, 1895.   His death on the battlefield came after years of speeches, articles and contributions to the cause of Cuban independence from Spain.    A few years ago, we spoke with  Professor Alfred Lopez about his new book, "Jose Marti, a revolutionary life"..........CLICK TO LISTEN!
