Oh, and just thought I'd mention incase people didn't know... Guantanamera is a cover of an ancient song.  Of course the rap is new, but the hook is ollllld, we're talking 50's, maybe earlier as a folk song.   

Yeah the original is pretty cool, its fully in Spanish, think the version I heard was probably a 50/60s version though, sounds like the sort of song that would have been around before that.
