Carlos Puebla (1917-1989), Cuba

Hasta Siempre, Comandante, is a Spanish song by Cuban composer, singer and guitarist Carlos Puebla. In 1965, the night after announcing Che Guevara's departure from the government, Puebla, seized by passion, composed what would become his most celebrated work, Hasta Siempre, Comandante, a true declaration of love for and hope in Che. The song's lyrics are a reply to revolutionary Che Guevara's farewell letter when he left Cuba, in order to foster revolution in Congo and later Bolivia, where he would be captured and executed.

Hasta siempre comandante es una canción compuesta por el compositor, cantante y guitarrista cubano Carlos Puebla en 1965. La partida de Ernesto Guevara, a seguir la lucha revolucionaria en otras tierras, impactó a Carlos Puebla de tal forma que la misma noche, sin poder dormir, compuso su obra más conocida, Hasta Siempre Comandante que se convertiría en un himno homenaje al heroico guerrillero que transcendería a todos los estilos de música y a casi todas las lenguas. La letra es una respuesta a la carta de despedida del Che Guevara, en el momento en que abandonó Cuba.
