Pónganle un letrero que diga:
"En esta playa no se quiere
hablar sólo Inglés"

Nice simple video.

Now that I've been in USA for long time, one of the nicest memories is to have discovered this great series on DVD on my cousin's collection. Here's the intro song which reminds me of "Las casitas del barrio alto" a wonderful Spanish version by Victor Jara (lyrics).

In the Season 2 they have done different versions of the song, some very good but I still prefer the original by Malvina Reynolds.

Here I've used a skin from Slide.com to embedd the video in... it looks "homie" :)

In their own words:

Fusion.
It’s the harmonious blend of the musical chops of Guitar Center, the high-performance desktop and notebook recording systems from Dell™, all enabled by the awesome power of multi-core processors from AMD. The result is pro-quality recording for aspiring rock gods everywhere.

I read @ NYT:

HALF a century ago, when America was having problems with its image during the cold war, Adam Clayton Powell Jr., the United States representative from Harlem, had an idea. Stop sending symphony orchestras and ballet companies on international tours, he told the State Department.Let the world experience what he called “real Americana”: send out jazz bands instead.

The idea behind the State Department tours was to counter Soviet propaganda portraying the United States as culturally barbaric. Powell’s insight was that competing with the Bolshoi would be futile and in any case unimaginative. Better to show off a homegrown art form that the Soviets couldn’t match — and that was livelier besides. Many jazz bands were also racially mixed, a potent symbol in the mid to late ’50s, when segregation in the South was tarnishing the American image.
