Aunque la enfermedad no logró entrar en América del Norte, durante el período objeto de examen se produjeron brotes graves en América del Sur (Argentina, 1886 y 1888; Chile, 1887 y 1888). http://health21magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1954-Cholera-Studies.pdf
En el tiempo del colera es una anécdota relatada por mi madre de ochenta años. Ella fue entrevistada por su sobrino, Fermín Rodriguez Tarrau en Venezuela en el 1988. Increíble comprender que ella estaba contando una historia ocurrida cien años atrás.

October 10, 2023 Cuban Stories: Episode 81 – A Musical Genre – Punto Guajiro – Un género musical
In this episode we explore Cuba’s folkloric poetry, the Punto Guajiro, through a few verses written by my cousin José Luis Rodríguez Martínez, who lives in Fomento, Cuba.
Punto is the poetic voice of our Cuban farmers. It consists of singing an improvised or learned stanza of ten octameter verse lines, with a rhyming scheme accompanied by string instruments.

En este episodio exploramos la poesía folclórica de Cuba, el Punto Guajiro, a través de unos versos escritos por mi primo José Luis Rodríguez Martínez, quien vive en Fomento, Cuba.
El Punto es la voz poética de nuestros campesinos cubanos. Consiste en cantar una estrofa improvisada o aprendida de diez versos octamétricos, o sea una decima acopañado con instrumentos de cuerda.
