Talk:Siboney (song)

I would like to rectify the idea that the song by Ernesto Lecuona called Siboney was inspired by homesickness per-se. First of all Siboney is a neo Taino tribe that inhabited Cuba like the Caribe tribe and others that were extinct by over-work and diseases the Spaniards brought with them to Cuba. The lyrics of this tune is a passionate love song that speaks of awaiting anxiously for the Siboney of his dreams in the hut, and feeling he would die if this Siboney doesn't show up. Go figure.....unless the words were written by someone else a woman for example.
