Br. Blue, I partially thank you for sharing the link above.  As you might suspect and expect, my mixed review of the video goes as follows:

The Cuban Music: A+  (Thanks!)
The Blue Ural Rig: B  (Thanks!)
The Communists (musicians and riders): D-  (No thanks!)
The mural of the most infamous Communist revolutionary: F  (Hell no; no thanks!)

I found that on the Ural site. The comment was:
if the link works, The music may be a foreign to most, just continue watching
The Buena Vista club is one of the oldest surviving clubs from the pre Castro days, The majority of the members are in there 60's and 80's still playing together,defying the Castro regime, The Ural driver I believe is Ray Coder a US citizen who did a piece on this club, check out the vintage cars as they drive through Havana
is this a new Ural or older version "650" ?

so it made it sound like these were pre Castro/anti castro musicians.

Br. Blue, The Buena Vista Social Club (the members) is sanctioned and sponsored by the Castro regime.  I would dare say that the Ural is an older version 650.  It, more than likely and as in the case of the old cars, has been held together though will power and ingenuity!

As I said in the previous post, the music gets an A+, brother!
