I agree with you, if you check my profile you will know.
My father in law was ordered to the firing squad my Che in 1959, and that is why I keep a page about his crimes.
I'm very upset with the Oscar's board when they gave an Oscat to a song that was not understoo the meaning, and most of the at the Academy didn't understood the words even braking their own rules.
In another message here, I tried to exposed that the song was not that original. By the way Lecuona was born in my hometown Guanabacoa.

The most liberal person I know doesn't even like to talk about Che, considers him a monster and will get into very loud arguments with his fellow liberals who do not know one single thing about Guevera other than he looks cool on a t-shirt. I'll pass your link on to him.
It does not surprise me that the Academy bought into this romantic view of Che. There are so many good South American artists and filmmakers they ignore, because they are ill-informed, so they latch on to the one part of SA history they find exciting, Che and Fidel. They claim to be interested in other cultures, yet they only celebrate the most basic elements of them. Not good for a group that supposedly is meant to inform about ALL kinds of film from all over the world.
