Guantanamera refers to the woman from Guantánamo, a municipality, and city in southeast Cuba. It is the
most known Patriotic Cuban song on the planet. The Composition sometimes accredited to José Fernández Diaz,
known as Joseíto Fernández, who claimed to have written it at various dates; consensus puts 1929 as the year
of origin and who used it regularly in one of his radio programs. Some who? Claim that the song's structure
actually came from Herminio "El Diablo" García Wilson, who could be credited as a co-composer. Garcia’s
heirs took the matter to court decades later but lost the case. The Supreme Court of Cuba credited Fernandez
as the sole composer of the music in 1993. Regardless of either claim, Fernandez can safely be claimed as
being the first public promoter of the song, through his radio programs. The song includes verses from Jose
Marti’s poems from his book "Versos Sencillos" Simple Verses. The Apostle of Cuban Independence against the
Spanish). For instance: “Yo soy un hombre sincero De donde crece la palma, Y antes de morirme quiero Echar
mis versos del alma”.
