Podcasts about Cuba

En este episodio reflexionamos sobre una verdad que sostiene toda nuestra fe: Solo Cristo. Descubrimos que no hay otro nombre, otra obra ni otro fundamento que pueda salvarnos, sostenernos o llenarnos de esperanza.

Esta semana tenemos con nosotros a la cantautora de Cuba, ella es Yolie. La música es un lenguaje universal y Yolie es testigo de eso.

Plus d'une cinquantaine de chefs d'États et de gouvernements se réunissent à partir de ce jeudi 6 novembre 2025 à Bélem, en Amazonie brésilienne, pour un sommet spécial en préambule à la COP30. La Conférence des Nations unies sur le climat s'ouvrira ensuite officiellement le 10 novembre. Au cœur de la forêt, la mégapole de Bélem était en travaux jusqu'au dernier moment pour accueillir l'événement, au détriment parfois de ses populations les plus vulnérables. Au point que des habitants se battent contre un «racisme environnemental».  À Bélem, la favela «Vila da Barca» s'apprête à recevoir une station de traitement des eaux usées du quartier voisin huppé de la «Doca». «Pourquoi pas ailleurs ? Ici on n'a pas d'eau, pas de système d'assainissement… de quelle COP on parle ?», s'indigne Socorro Contente, 62 ans. Elle a fondé l'association des habitants de la Vila da Barca, dans les années 1980. Dans cette favela de 5 000 habitants, dont une partie des logements sont encore des maisons en bois sur pilotis, les égouts sont à ciel ouvert. Sur les pontons qui mènent aux maisons, des déchets flottent dans l'eau. «Il y a beaucoup de maladies ici, la dengue principalement. Regardez-moi cette eau sale et stagnante. Tout ça attire les moustiques, les maladies, les rats… Nous n'avons pas de système d'assainissement, et personne ne s'occupe de nous, les habitants des maisons sur pilotis.» Alors quand les riverains ont appris que des travaux à hauteur de 50 millions d'euros profiteraient de leur territoire sans rien apporter, ils se sont mobilisés. Notre correspondante Sarah Cozzolino est allée à leur rencontre.   Haïti paye «le bilan le plus lourd» après le passage de Melissa L'ouragan a fait 43 morts en Haïti et 13 disparus, selon un nouveau bilan, explique Frantz Duval dans notre rendez-vous hebdomadaire avec le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste. Un bilan plus important que dans les autres pays des Caraïbes, alors même que l'œil de l'ouragan n'a pas traversé le pays. «On a raté la prévention et on est en train de rater l'évaluation des dégâts», regrette Frantz Duval. La violence des gangs est toujours aussi prégnante dans le pays, et touche aussi les zones agricoles, rappelle-t-il par ailleurs. Dans un article de son édition du jour, Le Nouvelliste décrit ainsi comment à L'Estère, dans l'Artibonite, «les bandits procèdent à une destruction méthodique des infrastructures agricoles et des récoltes des agriculteurs.» Enfin, le plus ancien quotidien d'Haïti alerte sur «les lenteurs administratives» qui «paralysent un investissement portuaire de 60 millions de dollars». Malgré cet investissement, «Atlantic Global Logistics (AGL), partenaire du géant maritime Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), attend l'autorisation de l'État haïtien pour démarrer pleinement ses opérations de réception de conteneurs», explique le journal. Depuis cinq ans, les infrastructures sont prêtes mais les douaniers manquent à l'appel et «le ministère ne répond pas aux courriers» de l'entreprise, rapporte Le Nouvelliste.   À Cuba, la disgrâce d'un ancien ministre de l'Économie Le nom et le visage de l'ex-ministre de l'Économie Alejandro Gil (2018-2024) s'affiche à la Une des sites de nombreux médias cubains, à l'exception de la presse officielle. Il a été mis en examen avec d'autres personnes dont les noms n'ont pas été révélés pour l'instant. Leur sont reprochés une dizaine de délits : blanchiment, malversations, mais aussi espionnage, écrit Cibercuba sur son site. Alejandro Gil avait été arrêté l'an dernier (2024), mais on ne savait pas précisément de quoi il était accusé. Après plus d'un an et demi de silence, le Parquet a choisi le «jour des sorcières» pour en faire part, ironise Cubanet. Car le communiqué est daté du 31 octobre, le jour d'Halloween. L'accusation d'espionnage, est «extraordinairement grave» dans le pays, souligne le média en ligne, car elle peut aboutir à une condamnation à mort. De plus, elle est très inhabituelle pour un ancien haut dirigeant du régime, même tombé en disgrâce. Ce mercredi, le site indépendant 14ymedio assurait que le Parquet aurait demandé 30 ans de prison contre l'ancien ministre. La fille d'Alejandro Gil appelle à un procès public, «retransmis à la télévision», ouvert à la presse. Elle assure que son père ne reconnaitra aucun des faits qui lui sont reprochés.

What's been called the storm of the century - Hurricane Melissa – has barrelled through Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas over the past two days. Hannah Cloke, Professor of Hydrology at the University of Reading, explains whether Melissa was caused – or made worse - by human-made climate change. As the H5N1 bird flu season picks up across British farms, virologist Ian Brown from the Pirbright Institute assesses its threat and turns our attention to a largely ignored strain of bird flu – H9N2 – which a recent study suggests is becoming adapted to human cells. The interstellar comet 3I/Atlas has inspired some bizarre theories about alien life coming into our solar system. BBC science journalist Roland Pease, who has been watching these cosmic events and the pseudoscientific myths that follow in their wake for decades, gives us his take. And mathematician Katie Steckles brings us her favourite finds from the world of science.If you want to test your climate change knowledge, head to bbc.co.uk search for BBC Inside Science and follow the links to The Open University to take the quiz.Presenter: Victoria Gill Producers: Ella Hubber, Jonathan Blackwell, Tim Dodd Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part -13. Events happened in During 1966 November to 1967 March - Arrival in Bolivia - Base Camp Set up - Initial Problems with Team Members - Unexpected encounter with Military and victory are covered in this episode.

Son muchos los que están convencidos de que el Gobierno estadounidense ya ha decidido atacar Venezuela. Desconocemos si es cierto, pero si sabemos que en estos momentos hay un despliegue naval en el Caribe que no tiene precedentes desde la crisis de los misiles de 1962. La armada estadounidense ha posicionado 10 buques de guerra, 10.000 efectivos y el portaaviones Gerald Ford, el más grande y moderno del mundo. Según el presidente de EEUU semejante dispositivo se justifica por el papel de Venezuela como centro neurálgico del llamado "Cártel de los Soles", un cártel dedicado al narcotráfico que controla directamente el ejército venezolano. Pero, aparte de la caribeña, hay otras rutas por las que las drogas se abren paso hasta el mercado norteamericano y es sólo en el Caribe donde se ha realizado un despliegue de estas características. Es obvio, por lo tanto, que la Casa Blanca quiere algo más de naturaleza política como derrocar a Nicolás Maduro. Eso posibilitaría interrumpir el suministro de petróleo venezolano a Cuba y con ello debilitar al régimen castrista. La operación recuerda a una propuesta del ex asesor de seguridad nacional John Bolton allá por 2019 que no se llevó a la práctica. Ahora Marco Rubio, secretario de Estado, la ha recuperado y parece que quiere ir hasta el final. Rubio es de origen cubano y tiene una motivación personal para acabar con el régimen castrista, algo que ha perseguido desde sus inicios en política. A diferencia de lo que sucedió hace seis años, Rubio ha conseguido llegar mucho más lejos. El despliegue naval es sólo una parte de la operación en la que participa también la CIA y un regimiento de operaciones especiales, el 160, bien conocido por haber liquidado a Osama bin Laden. El objetivo es, por lo tanto, doble: acabar con Maduro y asfixiar a Díaz-Canel cortando el suministro de crudo venezolano. Desde 1999 Venezuela y Cuba intercambian petróleo por servicios médicos cubanos, pero la cooperación ha disminuido desde 2016 debido a la caída de la producción petrolera venezolana y los problemas económicos que atraviesa el país. Actualmente Cuba recibe unos 32.000 barriles diarios, sólo una tercera parte de lo que recibía en los años dorados de Hugo Chávez. Esto ha reducido la dependencia cubana, que ahora importa petróleo a precio preferente de México y Rusia. De este modo, incluso sin petroleo venezolano, la economía cubana podría resistir. El régimen es experto en administrar la miseria y, aunque las cosas están peor que nunca, el castrismo sigue reteniendo el poder sin apenas oposición en el interior. De hecho la pobreza refuerza el discurso oficial de un bloqueo inclemente por parte de Estados Unidos. Trump, asesorado por Rubio, seguramente evite una intervención directa ya que implicaría el riesgo de que esa intervención derive en una guerra asimétrica al estilo de las de Oriente Medio. En su lugar podrían optar por un golpe interno, operaciones encubiertas o presión militar para forzar la salida de Maduro. Hasta la fecha nada de eso ha funcionado ni en Cuba, ni en Venezuela, dos países en manos de sendas bandas criminales que resistirán lo que haga falta para no perder el negocio.

Marcy Winograd and co-host Teri Mattson connect the dots from Medea Benjamin's hurricane-relief mission in Cuba to Trump's military escalation around Venezuela and Rep. Ilhan Omar's push to end unauthorized hostilities. They spotlight Pepperdine's hire of Johnny Moore and the Gaza “humanitarian” scandal, lift up divest-from-war campaigns, and echo Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on how mass incarceration, sanctions, and endless wars stem from the same sickness: empire, plus a rapid-fire quiz on nukes and militarism. In the second half, Marcy and Rick Chertoff unpack “What's Missing in Holocaust Education,” centering the Nakba, free inquiry in classrooms, and how to teach liberation, not propaganda.

Cuando no puedes más… Su gracia puede. ¿Qué te sostiene cuando tropiezas, fallas o sientes que no puedes más?

https://youtu.be/grdO4L8k_WM En los años 70, la Brigada Antonio Maceo parecía abrir un puente entre Cuba y el exilio cubanoamericano. Pero detrás de ese gesto de aparente reconciliación se movía una maquinaria de propaganda e inteligencia diseñada para dividir a la comunidad en el exterior y reescribir la memoria colectiva.Este video explora cómo una nueva generación de cubanoamericanos, marcada por la Operación Pedro Pan y la efervescencia de la Nueva Izquierda en EE.UU., fue utilizada por el régimen para construir una narrativa alternativa. Conectaremos esta historia con el contexto de la Guerra Fría, la influencia del G-2 y las profundas fracturas que aún hoy persisten en la diáspora cubana.Si quieres entender el exilio cubano más allá de los mitos, y descubrir cómo el poder manipula la identidad y la memoria histórica, este episodio es clave.PRIMERA PARTE: https://youtu.be/grdO4L8k_WM

Trevor Loudon Reports – Russia descends from Vikings and Mongols—raiders by blood. It adopted Mongol tactics to break free, then built its own empire of theft. No pro-freedom revolt in Russian history ever succeeded. Only tyrannies replace tyrannies. Putin's regime fuses state and mafia. Starr demands a Cuba-style embargo on Russia. No more apologies, no more resets. End the cycle of lies...

In this explosive episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins dives deep into one of the most complex and mysterious figures of the Cold War era—Ricardo “Monkey” Morales, a Cuban exile whose life intersected with the CIA, the anti-Castro underground, Las Vegas mobsters, and even the JFK assassination. Gary welcomes Rick Morales Jr., son of Monkey Morales, and author Sean Oliver, co-writer of the new book Monkey Morales: The True Story of a Mythic Cuban Exile Assassin, CIA Operative, FBI Informant, Smuggler, and Dad. Together, they unravel the incredible life of a man who was at once a patriot, a spy, and a killer. Rick recounts growing up in Miami's Little Havana, where his father's shadow loomed large—rumored to have ties to the JFK assassination and known for his secret missions across the world. From escaping Cuba as a disillusioned Castro loyalist to training as part of the CIA's Operation 40 assassination unit, Monkey Morales lived a life that reads like a spy thriller. Sean Oliver walks listeners through Monkey's covert missions in Africa's Congo, his deep ties to other operatives like Frank Sturgis and Barry Seal, and the secret wars that connected Cuban exiles, the CIA, and organized crime. The conversation also explores how Monkey became entangled with Lefty Rosenthal, the Chicago Outfit's Las Vegas gambling mastermind, and how his bomb-making skills were used in mob turf wars across Florida. The discussion culminates with Morales Jr.'s chilling memory of his father confessing he was in Dallas on the day President Kennedy was shot—and that he had seen Lee Harvey Oswald in a CIA training camp. Whether you believe Morales was a hero, a villain, or both, his story weaves through some of the darkest and most intriguing chapters of 20th-century American history.

The US government is politically isolated on the world stage. This can be seen in the UN General Assembly votes demanding an end to the USA's embargo of Cuba. Almost all of the world opposes the illegal economic blockade. Ben Norton explains how the CIA has waged a terrorist war on Cuba, Venezuela, and other parts of Latin America for decades.

In Ep 395  Ken and Dave take on everything From Vegas hangovers and busted government budgets to Georgia's voter apathy and one Athens idiot who thought dressing like a Nazi was clever, they're calling out the week's dumbest decisions. Toss in hurricanes, bad football predictions, and politicians pretending to care about the SNAP crisis, and you've got another round of sharp takes, dark humor, and a healthy dose of disbelief. Vegas Road Trip & Travel: Reflecting on the high cost and crowds of Las Vegas and messy TSA lines at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. Cruise Ship Gambling: Friends earning free future cruises by gambling heavily on board. Halloween Policy Debate: Discussing the controversial policy requiring registered sex offenders to check in with law enforcement or report to the police station on Halloween night, questioning the consistency of safety policies. Georgia Elections & Turnout: Analyzing the poor voter turnout in rural Georgia for the Public Service Commission (PSC) election and local city council/SPLOST races. World Series Baseball: Commentary on the Blue Jays, the crazy 18-inning game, and Shohei Ohtani's nine times reaching base. Government Shutdown & Filibuster: Debating Donald Trump's call for the nuclear option (50+1 Senate votes) to reopen the government and the value of returning to the true filibuster format. Georgia vs. Florida Football: Previewing the game, noting the spread, and discussing how teams often play harder after a coach firing. Hurricane Melissa Fallout: Examining the Cat 5 storm that laid waste to Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, noting the high death toll in Haiti due to poor infrastructure. Georgia SNAP Benefits Crisis: Analyzing the loss of food assistance for 1.5 million Georgians during the government shutdown and debating whether the state should use emergency reserves to cover the benefits. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) Appearances: Discussing her scheduled interviews on The View and Real Time with Bill Maher, and her recent criticism of Republicans lacking a healthcare plan. Georgia Senate Race Polls: Early polling shows Mike Collins with an advantage, but 40% of Republican voters remain undecided, suggesting the race will be decided by campaign spending. Prince Andrew Stripped of Titles: Discussing King Charles's decision to strip Prince Andrew of all royal titles and his eviction from Royal Lodge, which may set him up for further prosecution. Athens Nazi Costume Incident: Analyzing the highly publicized altercation in Athens involving a man in a full SS uniform who allegedly smashed a beer pitcher into a woman's face, leading to felony aggravated assault charges. Most Stressed States in the Nation: Examining data showing Alaska as the most stressed state (high suicide rate, lack of sun) and Massachusetts as the least stressed, with Georgia ranking 32nd. Lowering the Voting Age: Rejecting Kamala Harris's suggestion to lower the voting age to 16 due to climate change concerns, instead advocating for raising the age of majority to 21. New York City Mayoral Race: Analyzing the strange political dynamics in the NYC election, involving Zohran Mamdami and Andrew Cumo and fears that New York City is heading toward communism.

Les deux journalistes ont été marquées par la richesse et l'importance des savoirs traditionnels des communautés autochtones, en particulier en ce qui concerne la gestion de la forêt amazonienne. Il faut garder en tête que «c'est aussi et surtout une zone de rivières. L'eau fait vraiment partie du quotidien», souligne Lucile Gimberg. «Il y a également de nombreuses villes, comme Belém. 28 millions de personnes vivent en Amazonie», ajoute Lucia Muzell. Les premières traces d'habitat remontent à 12.000 ans et on peut s'inspirer des modes de vie des peuples originels pour protéger la nature, expliquent les reporters. «Par exemple, il faut rediversifier notre alimentation», explique Lucile Gimberg. «Ces peuples mangeaient 37 espèces de poissons !» Ces savoirs ancestraux sont d'ailleurs toujours utilisés aujourd'hui dans les communautés qui s'efforcent de les transmettre aux jeunes générations. Mais leur travail n'est pas toujours suffisamment reconnu et valorisé, notamment au niveau économique.

Trois jours de deuil national ont été décrétés, à partir de ce lundi (3 novembre 2025), nous apprend Gazette Haïti. «Durant cette période, le drapeau national sera mis en berne sur tout le territoire, les discothèques et établissements assimilés resteront fermés, et les médias seront invités à adapter leur programmation avec de la musique et des émissions de circonstance», explique le journal. Six départements du pays restent en état d'urgence : le Sud, le Sud-Est, la Grand-Anse, les Nippes, l'Ouest et le Nord-Ouest, et ce pour une durée, de trois mois.   À écouter aussiHaïti : à Petit Goâve, les habitants encore sous le choc après le passage de Melissa Les États-Unis débloquent trois millions de dollars pour Cuba Cet argent destiné en priorité aux habitants des régions orientales de l'île, les plus touchées par Melissa, sera distribué par l'Église catholique, relève 14 y Medio. Ce choix de l'Église catholique, «une institution avec une présence territoriale, crédible et bien vue par la population», précise le journal, met le gouvernement cubain «dans une situation difficile». Ce qui explique l'absence de réactions officielles des autorités face à cette offre de bons services.   À lire aussiL'ouragan Melissa a touché Cuba mais perd de la puissance, rétrogradé en catégorie 3 Une majorité d'Américains estiment que Donald Trump va trop loin Selon un sondage effectué par Ipsos pour le Washington Post et ABC, près de deux-tiers des personnes interrogées jugent que le président outrepasse ses pouvoirs. Près de 60% des Américains ont une opinion défavorable de Donald Trump. Un taux d'insatisfaction jamais atteint depuis janvier 2021 et l'attaque du Capitole, fait remarquer le Washington Post. Principales raisons de ce mécontentement : les tarifs douaniers, et l'économie en général, et comment Donald Trump gère le gouvernement fédéral. En revanche, sur les questions d'immigration et de diversité, la société américaine semble divisée. La moitié des personnes sondées juge que Donald Trump va trop loin et l'autre moitié estime que ce qu'il fait est bien ou qu'il ne va pas assez loin. Dernier enseignement intéressant de ce sondage : les démocrates ne bénéficient pas de ce mécontentement. Près de 7 Américains sur 10 estiment que le parti est déconnecté de leurs vies. C'est 6 sur 10 pour les Républicains. Ceux qui désapprouvent l'action de Donald Trump, ne sont pas prêts pour autant à voter démocrates, souligne le Washington Post.   À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: Donald Trump assume les méthodes brutales des opérations anti-immigration Nicolas Maduro renforce la censure Selon Tal Cual, le mois dernier, deux personnes ont écopé de 10 et 15 de prison. Elles ont été reconnues coupables de «délit de haine» lors de procès expéditifs, rapporte le journal en ligne. La première, âgée de 44 ans, avait critiqué le gouvernement lors d'une discussion privée sur WhatsApp ; la seconde âgée de 22 ans est accusée d'avoir posté sur TikTok une vidéo dans lequel elle disait du mal des autorités. Ces deux condamnations sont les dernières d'une longue série de personnes condamnées à de lourdes peines de prison pour avoir fait des remarques négatives sur le gouvernement dans un cadre privé, raconte Tal Cual qui fait le lien avec une décision de Nicolas Maduro. Afin d'encourager la délation, le 20 octobre 2025, il a demandé à ce que soit réactivée une fonction de l'appli VenApp afin de pouvoir signaler 24h/24 «tout ce que l'on voit, tout ce que l'on entend». À l'origine, VenApp, c'est un réseau social créé pour faire remonter les problèmes du quotidien, comme lorsqu'un service public ne fonctionne pas, explique Tal Cual. Aujourd'hui, on y trouve des onglets «terrorisme» ou bien «attaque de drones», précise le journal. Tout cela contribue à «créer un climat de silence et de terreur», analyse Martha Tineo, avocate et coordinatrice de l'ONG ONG Justicia, Encuentro y Perdón.

Episode 15 | There is More with David Walker In this episode, David sits down with Jeronimo Jorge, whose remarkable journey takes him from the streets of Los Angeles to the executive offices of H-E-B. Born in Cuba and raised in a tough neighborhood after immigrating to the U.S., J.J. found himself caught up in drugs and trouble as a teenager — until a move to Texas and an encounter with Jesus changed everything.After surrendering his life to Christ in 1985, J.J. began a new chapter — starting at the bottom as a sanitation worker at H-E-B and eventually rising to become a Managing Director over hundreds of employees. Through every season, he's seen God's mercy, grace, and favor at work — sparing his life, redeeming his past, and blessing his obedience.This is the story of a man who proved that hard work beats talent — and that a life surrendered to God can rewrite any past.

BioVale! ULB The Sound of Cabana Bounce. Most of Vale! ULB's lyrics flow effortlessly between Spanish and English, but even if you don't speak the language, their energy translates loud and clear. Their latest single, “Devórame,” is a high-speed, high-energy celebration from a five-member band that has crafted an entirely new genre where the primary language is fun.“The band made a new genre called Cabana Bounce,” says lead vocalist Val. “Most of our songs are about joy, movement, and connection. ‘Devórame' is one of them.”Born in Colombia and raised in a musically rich family, Val is the daughter of Dante Vargas, a multi Latin Grammy Award-winning musician and producer from Peru. Her dual heritage shines through her powerhouse voice strong, expressive, and versatile enough to adapt to any sound the band explores.“Devórame,” which translates to “Devour Me,” captures that playful and passionate essence. “It's not a romantic song,” explains trumpeter Emi, “it's about confidence, presence, and living in the moment.”Come take a bite of me now / Before it's too late papi / Come take me down / Baby devórame ya.In this context, ya literally meaning “already” becomes a demand for right now.The Band's Global RootsVale! ULB is a collective of musicians whose diverse cultural backgrounds shape the band's vibrant sound:Val – Lead Vocals (Colombia/Peru)Emi – Trumpet (Argentina)Anier – Percussion (Cuba)Friki – Guitar (Cuba), son of a founder of the legendary Buena Vista Social ClubDeezle – Bass, Production, and Vocals (New Orleans, USA)The “ULB” in their name stands for United Latin Band, while Vale! is colloquial Spanish for “Let's go!” a perfect reflection of their energy and message.“The band is all about celebration,” says Val. “We're from Miami, and our producer is from New Orleans. So, New Orleans plus Miami equals party.”Deezle adds, “We love so many kinds of music and can play almost anything. Imagine taking a little of the Black Eyed Peas, some No Doubt, some Santana, some Stevie Wonder and then pouring gumbo juice on top.”A Band of Acclaimed TalentEach member of Vale! ULB brings a deep professional pedigree to the group:Deezle is a three-time Grammy-winning producer who's worked with Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj.Emi is also a Grammy winner, with credits including The United States vs. Billie Holiday soundtrack and tours with Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony.Anier is a multi-time champion of Cuba's Fiesta del Tambor (Festival of Drums).Carlos “Los” Battey, the band's manager, is a Grammy-winning songwriter and music executive who has penned hits for Madonna, Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Chris Brown, and more.“Los isn't just a managerhe's part of the creative process,” says Emi. “He's in the studio with us, collaborating and shaping songs. He's the real deal.”The Creation of Vale! ULBThe band's story began when a music executive contacted Deezle about developing a group of talented musicians. “They flew me to LA, we got a band house, and ordered all the gear,” recalls Deezle. “Within 30 minutes of setting up, we wrote our first song. Everything just clicked.”Soon after, Emi joined as music director and invited Val to front the band. When the original guitarist left, Friki joined, and Vale! ULB officially took shape.“We complement each other perfectly,” says Emi. “It's like a puzzle where every piece just fits.”“Our band shows how people from different walks of life different backgrounds, cultures, and opinions can come together to create something powerful,” adds Deezle. “We've got that chemistry unlocked.”The Future of Cabana BounceVale! ULB's music embodies warmth, rhythm, and pure joy what they call Cabana Bounce. “It's like sunshine, a poolside party, full of color and life,” says Deezle. “It's a mix of all our flavors from every country and city we represent.”“Devórame” is the band's fourth single this year, and their momentum is just getting started. The team plans to release more singles, videos, and eventually an EP and full album. Manager Carlos is also developing an interactive virtual concert experience on platforms like Discord or Patreon, making it easy for fans worldwide to tune in and celebrate together.“For me,” says Val, “one of our biggest goals is to perform live and connect with people around the world.”“We're limitless,” concludes Deezle. “We never wanted to be confined to one sound. We're musicians first and we're here to create without boundaries.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 11/01/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS The Caribbean Island of Jamaica was struck with a devastating hurricane this week which killed at least 19 people - probably all classified as black. Neighboring Haiti and Cuba also reported damage and multiple fatalities from Hurricane Melissa. In the United States, the so-called shutdown has reached a full month with no end in sight. Federal employees have begun to miss paychecks, and critical services - like the Head Start program and air traffic control, anticipate crippling shortages and/or indefinite delays. Food banks around the continent are bracing for a massive influx of employed, malnourished citizens. And a black Maryland teen was detained at gunpoint after his school A.I. program erroneously categorized the male student's bag of Dorito's tortilla chips as a firearm.

A series of market-related crises over the past two decades – financial, environmental, health, education, poverty – reinvigorated the debate about markets and social justice. Since then, counter-hegemonic movements all over the globe are attempting to redefine markets and the meaning of economic enterprise in people's daily lives. Assessments of market outcomes tend toward the polemical, with capitalists and socialists, globalization advocates and anti-globalization movements, those on the political right and those on the left, all facing off to argue the benefits or harms brought about by markets. Yet not enough attention has been paid to analyzing the conditions under which markets result in just outcomes.  Markets, Community and Just Infrastructures (Routledge, 2020) explores how culture, politics, and ideology help shape market incentives in an attempt to reclaim the language of economic rationality and the policymaking legitimacy that accompanies it. Through a variety of case studies – labor relations in the U.S. meatpacking industry, the globalization process in Juaìrez, Mexico, financial reform in Cuba, and an interfaith Ugandan coffee cooperative – this book provides a framework for understanding the conditions under which markets promote just or unjust outcomes (e.g., discrimination, income inequality, environmental degradation, or racial justice, human rights, and equitable growth).  This book touches on subject matter as varied as food, religion, banking, and race and gender equality, from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It offers an analysis of markets based on community rather than pure individualism that has the potential to change the way we think about economic rationality. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars in political science, economics, sociology, geography, gender studies, critical race studies, environmental studies, and all those interested in the critique of mainstream economics and neoliberal logic.

As you'll tell from this episode...Billy was less than thrilled. Billy also talks about outgoing Miami mayor Francis Suarez comparing New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to former Cuba dictator Fidel Castro. Could it be that Suarez doesn't know the difference between communism and socialism? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The United Nations voted overwhelmingly, again, 165 to 7, to end the U.S. embargo on Cuba, with the U.S. and Israel voting against. This is as the one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit Cuba causes massive destruction but no deaths due to the country's organization.Plus, the Miami Herald is reporting that the Trump administration has approved military strikes on Venezuela, which could come ‘at any moment,' and which could ignite the entire region. Brian Becker is joined by Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of The People's Forum in New York.

Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean in modern times, left a wake of destruction in Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti that will take years to recover from. A Jamaican climate physics professor describes the toll of this climate catastrophe, and a meteorologist joins us to explain how the storm grew so ferocious in the blink of a hurricane's eye.   Also, Gwich'in Alaska Natives, which consider the land of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge sacred and local Porcupine Caribou as relatives, are expressing alarm at how renewed prospects of drilling in this fragile environment could upend their world.  And the Pacific Northwest of the US harbored a serial killer hotspot of sorts in the 1970s, associated with the neurotoxin lead. Seattle-born author Caroline Fraser explores this link in her book Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. She discusses how dangerously high lead exposure from smelters and gasoline may have led to the increase of violence and murders in the region. ---  Federal funding for public radio has ended.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Public Service Fellow Ari Tabatabai and Managing Editor Tyler McBrien to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Great APEC-tations.” President Trump is headed to Asia this week, both for a meeting of the regional Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) organization and a one-on-one sit down with Chinese president Xi Jinping. It's a moment destined to spotlight one of the more quixotic areas of the second Trump administration's foreign policy, only complicated further by his (and China's) increasingly aggressive trade maneuvers, particularly around rare earth minerals. What should we expect this week? And what does it tell us about the Trump administration's Asia policy?“Pirates of the Caribbean.” The U.S. military build-up in the Caribbean has continued apace, even as the Trump administration has expanded its controversial military campaign against narcotics traffickers into the eastern Pacific. Even as both sets of actions have put pressure on the Maduro regime, they've also created rifts within Trump's coalition—where a few legislators have begun to join Democrats in demanding more answers from the Trump administration—and the executive branch, where tensions appear to have contributed to the early retirement of the military commander in charge of the operation. What constraints are there on how far the president can go in this space? And how far will he push them?“Too Calm After the Storm.” Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest on record, made landfall in Jamaica yesterday, and is now hovering over Cuba (in weakened form) on its way to the Bahamas. The devastation it is expected to have left in its wake would in the past have been the subject of an almost immediate U.S. assistance response—but it's not clear what will be forthcoming today or how effective it will be given the dismantling of U.S. foreign assistance agencies. How should we expect the Trump administration to respond? And what could the long term consequences be?In object lessons, Tyler is sampling Baauer's Sample Breakdowns on Instagram for the muses behind the music.

Today's Headlines: Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean just as feared, leaving dozens dead and catastrophic damage across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti before weakening to a Category 1 on its way to the Bahamas. Nearly 80% of Jamaica is still without power, and hundreds remain missing across the islands. In Gaza, Israel resumed airstrikes that killed around 100 people after a soldier was shot in Rafah — but quickly announced the ceasefire was back on. Hamas says it's delaying the return of hostage remains in response to the strikes. Trump, meanwhile, is still globe-trotting — now in South Korea, where he announced the U.S. will share sensitive nuclear submarine technology, one of the country's most tightly guarded military secrets. This comes months after North Korea bragged about its own nuclear-powered sub. Back home, a new Pentagon memo ordered all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories to form “quick reaction forces” — over 23,000 National Guard troops trained for riot control — to respond to potential unrest. The administration also indicted its first Gen Z political figure: 26-year-old Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, charged with assaulting an ICE officer during a protest — charges that could carry up to 14 years in prison. On the money front, the Senate symbolically voted against Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazil (which won't actually change anything), the Fed cut interest rates another 0.25%, and the shutdown continues as millions risk losing food aid. The Dow hit a record 48,000 — mostly thanks to AI stocks — even as layoffs surge at UPS, Nestlé, and Amazon. And in some good news for once, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott donated $60 million to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and another $38 million to Alabama State University — the largest gift in the HBCU's 158-year history.

Hurricane Melissa devastates Jamaica, leaving neighborhoods underwater and hundreds of thousands without power as it moves toward Cuba. President Trump insisted nothing will jeopardize the ceasefire in Gaza, even after Israel launched new strikes while both sides accuse each other of violations. And air-traffic controllers are working without pay as the government shutdown strains the aviation system and threatens more flight disruptions.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Tara Neil, Russell Lewis, Miguel Macias, Mohamad ElBardicy and Ally Schweitzer.It was produced by Ziad Buchh, Nia Dumas and Christopher ThomasWe get engineering support from Damian Herring-Nathan.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says a wave of Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday night killed more than a hundred people, including a number of children. The Israeli military said it had killed "dozens of terrorists". It launched the attacks after accusing Hamas of killing a soldier in violation of the US-brokered ceasefire. Israel says it's now resuming the truce, which President Trump has warned must not be jeopardised. Also: Hurricane Melissa has made landfall in eastern Cuba after causing widespread damage in Jamaica. As Tanzanians take to the polls in a tense general election, there have been violent clashes between protestors and the police.
