SUMMARY:Revolutionary Music: CUBA 💃
CONTACT:Revolutionary Bicycle Club
DESCRIPTION:hasta siempre\, comandante che guevara\nBIKERS OF THE WORLD 
 UNITE! Join us for our summer ride series where we roll around playing 
 music from revolutionary movements that you should know about. \n\nThe 
 theme this month is CUBA! \n\nThis will be a casual-paced 10 mile ride 
 around SE\, starting at Laurelhurst Park. We'll play songs associated with
  the Cuban Revolution as we ride and we'll make occasional stops to chat 
 about history\, including a stop at Ice Queen to eat cold treats while 
 discussing the cold war.🍦🚀\n\nMusically\, you can expect a mix of 
 electrifying jazz from 1970s Havana\, Buena Vista Social Club\, Nueva 
 Trova\, traditional folk songs\, and more recent pop/rock hits inspired by
  Che Guevara and the Cuban cause.\n\n--------------WHY 
 CUBA?---------------\n\nIn 1958\, the iconic revolutionary Che Guevara 
 teamed up with future Cuban leader Fidel Castro and used guerilla tactics 
 to topple Fulgencio Batista\, a dictator known for severe corruption and 
 murders of thousands of dissidents.\n\nFor many westerners\, the details 
 of this revolution (and post-revolution life in Cuba) have been obscured 
 by a haze of anti-communist propaganda that's been floating around since 
 the cold war. Chances are good that you didn't learn much about Cuba in 
 high school history class\, and if you DID learn about it\, your education
  may have started and ended with a screening of "Dirty Dancing: Havana 
 Nights" and a lecture on how communism is the reason we can't have nice 
 things.\n\nThis month\, with Trump having suddenly declared Cuba a 
 "national security threat" and with Rubio frothing at the mouth to bomb 
 more civilians\, it's a great time to look past the propaganda and 
 understand the real history of Cuba and how deeply its people have been 
 harmed by the United States throughout the past century. 
 \n\n----------------------------\n\nAn important note: we don't fuck with 
 Spotify and don't use it for our ride playlists. It has deep investor ties
  to the US/Israel war machine\, treats its artists poorly\, and is 
 actively making music stupider with its AI algorithm. If you wanna sync up
  with our playlists\, let us know in advance so we can find the best way 
 to share.\nMeet 6\, roll 6:30\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-
