This song is eternal. If you are opportuned to come back in 10 thousand years, this song will still be a classic. Thank you Celia Cruz and Wyclef for giving mankind this masterpiece.
And I'm listening to it again while missing my Cuban aunts and uncles who used to play dominoes in the garage on a hot summer day in NY. The kids would be in the pool. Adults in the back sunroom while the old peeps played dominoes. Went back to my aunt's house recently and saw the garage and broke down. Memories of the best past. Cubans are an awesome and family oriented breed.
I'm half Cuban and used to hear Celia Cruz blasting on my mom's record player. My parents got to meet her once. My dad who's Italian told her he did not like Spanish music but loved her music. She replied "that's because you know what's good!" May she rest in peace.
I love this song, brings back memories of watching this on MTV2 back in '97 and I was just 18, working night shift and then coming home in the morning and getting baked and watching TV all morning LOL those were the days
@@AmuckPVP You're technically correct, but only because it wasn't called MTV2 back then. It was known as M2 and was launched on Aug.1/1996 according to Wikipedia, but whatever LOL
@@atoz0to9999 From what I remember, the channel was called MTV & not MTV2 at the time. Even the channel guide would display the same exact thing. It was around the same time when MTV was MTV because it used to have music videos all the time.
Wyclef was just as dope on the boards as he was on the Mic. With Lauryn in tow and Pras to cover. The had the world in their hands throughout the late 90s. A great era.
I love that Lauryn Hill is in this video. I don’t remember her part as a child, but it’s fire af. I was a kid when she was popping, but she’s always been my favorite🔥😻👏🏾
Caribbean House Record - Haitian Cuban Connection, now you know in your trouble but Haitian Cuban mix the best mix between two nation; Big Up to all my Cubans in Miami and where ever you are on this screwed up planet we made it become. Keep it real my Hebrews!
damn this is a throwback fr, wen music was actually performed by talented artist, story line, creativity something that all can listen to, grove to & enjoy!!
July 10, 2022. Who else is watching with me all the way from Lagos, NIGERIA? It will surprise you that this is my first time seeing the video of this song since childhood, I only listened to it on radio stations. I am 31 now. Pure nostalgia. Old but GOLD.
Jimmy Buffett sent me here. Heard him do this live and fell in love with the song. Listening to the original at work one day and a puerto rican pal heard and said his grandma used to play the song all the time. Made me an honorary puerto rican right there. This is a good version too!
This blast from the muthafucka past tho! Haven’t heard this in damn near 20 years! God put this gem in my path on this 1st day of 2021 for a reason, got a feeling this year is gonna be perfect 💯
Listen to this. If Celia was so Azucar. Why they allowed Hector Lavoe To literally mouth off in her own. Song he said Mami Aqui todos aguantan La Mera. Instead of Guantanamera he said Aguantan la Mera .. lol
Tja, Kinder, das waren noch Zeiten... Da war ich so um 18 rum, und die Welt schien so glänzend und endlich schön. Danke für diese tolle Zeiten und für den fantastischen Song, Leute!
Despite playing this hit on numerical times, i hardly find it difficult to get over it, the element of collaboration makes it feel much more attached to it.
Don't know why, but every time I watch this video I feel kind of melancholic. As if Guantanamera was at the same time the story of a woman and of every man who fell in love with the wrong girl.
I was a teenager... when I heard it for the first time... back in Poland... somewhere between 1995-2000.... It was really something extraordinary... still is.
Thanks for a lot! It's a favourite song video of my childhood, spent in city of Lugansk, Ukraine! That days I want to be a main hero of this record, imagined myself on his place! Wyclef Jean - is cool!
This song is eternal. If you are opportuned to come back in 10 thousand years, this song will still be a classic. Thank you Celia Cruz and Wyclef for giving mankind this masterpiece.
That song is older than Celia Cruz
@@raulvaldes270 Really? Are you saying Celia Cruz is not the original composer of that sing?
@@chukemmang no , was Joseito Fernandez
@@raulvaldes270 Joseito Fernandez? Don’t know her
Beautiful tribute to an iconic song. Great to have Celia Cruz on board. Quality work from Wyclef Jean and the team. 25 years later still nice to hear.
Amen
Love Caribbean unity 🇬🇩🇯🇲
This brings back so many great memories of the 90’s!

Wyclef se youn gran rapè tout bon vre.
Only Wycliffe could take a big song and make a big song out of it. Listening in Jan 2022 after over a decade of not hearing it.
Wyclef was just as dope on the boards as he was on the Mic. With Lauryn in tow and Pras to cover. The had the world in their hands throughout the late 90s. A great era.
wie in Buch im dschugnle, gibt es eine e rader veriosn?
smooth operator
no angel, really
Lauryn ...always flowing.
2023 still listening, masterpiece , Lauryn is Queen! Wyclef is Legend💯🔥🌟💥⭐💫
Wyclef makes timeless music. Got me thinking of my primary school days.
Collabs were out of this world. Ish so good it has yet to be unstaged. Lauryn was stunning!
BRING BACK THIS ERA, REAL MUSIC WITH SENSE. REAL FIRE 2018
Wyclef Jean is a musical genius. How I soo love Queen Lauryn Hill. 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦

Era una bruja no creo que esté en paz, está ardiendo y los gusanos se la están tragando
Wyclef is a musical genius
Haitians should be proud of Wyclef.
🔥🔥🇭🇹🇭🇹🔥🔥🇭🇹🇭🇹🔥🔥
Lauryn’s verse 👌🏽
Aren't u tired of messing with and then u say u embarrassed and u keep on. Mythical everything is alight ignore peace
Wyclef Jean 🎉🎉🎉
Sleep in peace Celia Cruz. I remember her being on Sesame Street and her many other performances/concerts she gave
Maverick Rekors, ? guess no
This song gives me chills up and down my spine. Great beat, love this classic song!
Please can't we go back to all of this music.🙏🏾❤️👌🏾 this was me some Music.
Whyclef Jean you create magic...everything you touch turns into gold!
Ms. Hill will forever be hip hop Royalty as far as I'm concerned 👑
Jersey in the building. You can hate on wyclef till the sun burns out, but he was creative AF. Jersey had/has brilliant artists.
Well said!!
Haiti & Jersey in da house 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
I love that Lauryn Hill is in this video. I don’t remember her part as a child, but it’s fire af. I was a kid when she was popping, but she’s always been my favorite🔥😻👏🏾
Lauryn Hill brings heat to the game. I sure miss her
She's not dead

Caribbean House Record - Haitian Cuban Connection, now you know in your trouble but Haitian Cuban mix the best mix between two nation; Big Up to all my Cubans in Miami and where ever you are on this screwed up planet we made it become. Keep it real my Hebrews!
I remember listening to this on the radio in Brooklyn, then seen this on BET. Such a classic from the late ‘90s.
wie in Buch im dschugnle, gibt es eine e rader veriosn?
Great mixture of two different cultures
Today it’s called “cultural appropriation”
Mal Arie where ??
Yeah this man here dunno like either. I found out while in the home
@@malarie532 lies
Both cultures aren't that different it's all African culture at the end of the day
Wyclef Jean, musical genius
one of the best music groove of all time and 1 million viewers? What's wrong with this world?
That's so true
+Andrew Zeleno Everything?
+Andrew Zeleno THe 116 people that voted this down are aliens!
can't explain it...
Andrew Zeleno Problem is, for some reason, this single was never released in North America. Huge hit in the rest of the world.
damn this is a throwback fr, wen music was actually performed by talented artist, story line, creativity something that all can listen to, grove to & enjoy!!
DOPE group The Fugees salute Wyclef, Pras & Lauryn Hill is the Queen living legend
Wycleff was so ahead of his time. Most of the music industry is just catching up to where he was 20 years ago.
Well said.
Lauryn hill got more flow than 95 of rappers all time
Male or female it doesn’t matter 💯💯

Classic Song.Remember this song very well.Salute Wyclef.

Old songs are timeless.
This song had my childhood in a chokehold ❤ back when MTV was actually music television.
My best of Wyclef...just great
Listen to this. If Celia was so Azucar. Why they allowed Hector Lavoe To literally mouth off in her own. Song he said Mami Aqui todos aguantan La Mera. Instead of Guantanamera he said Aguantan la Mera .. lol
Am fucking shacking cold

It's always nice to hear the work of Wyclef. One of my favorites in my top ten favorites.

One of the coldest videos of that era!!
Despite playing this hit on numerical times, i hardly find it difficult to get over it, the element of collaboration makes it feel much more attached to it.
Amen
do you remember the Album "Introducing the...according to..."
Don't know why, but every time I watch this video I feel kind of melancholic. As if Guantanamera was at the same time the story of a woman and of every man who fell in love with the wrong girl.
