Changuito, aka - El Mysterioso, aka - the man with two brains, is seen in 2003 or 2004 (not quite sure when I filmed this) here playing at a small outdoor venue in Havana Vieja called "La Jungle." Being so far off the beaten path, the venue didn't last very long due to lack of tourist dollars. Instead of...

Descripción: The endless debate over the word "timba." This took place in the summer of 2003, in that little bar on the side of studio EGREM. A lot of strong opinions. The guy tending the bar had some good points, especially when he listed the three dominant national powers of popular music; Cuba, Brazil, and the United States.
