" Guantanamera" (pronounced [ɡwantanaˈmeɾa]; Spanish for 'The woman from Guantánamo') [1] is a Cuban patriotic song, which uses a poem from the collection Simple Verses, by the Cuban poet José Martí, for the lyrics. It is an expression of love for Cuba and of solidarity with the poor people of the world.
After "Guantanamera" was released they became the Daisies. [ 20 ] Another group known as the Sandpipers (or sometimes the Golden Sandpipers) sang for Golden Records , most notably the theme to Mighty Mouse , the version that is now the best known and perhaps the original (although some sources cite the Terrytooners with Mitch Miller and orchestra).
And yes that is one definition; or peasant woman. And yet, this was never added to the article although the words guajira Guantanamera occur frequently in the song. i.e. Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera I have now added the definition with three citations to confirm the meaning.

Guajira [ɡwaˈxi.ɾa] is a music genre derived from the punto cubano.According to some specialists, [1] the punto cubano was known in Spain since the 18th century, where it was called "punto de La Habana", and by the second half of the 19th century it was adopted by the incipient Spanish Flamenco style, which included it within its "palos" with the name of guajira.

Here is a guajira lyric. [10] [11] [12] “Contigo me caso indiana si se entera tu papa y se lo dice a tu mama hermosísima cubana tengo una casa en la Habana destinada para tí. Ay! con el techo de marfil y el piso de plataforma para tí blanca paloma llevo yo la flor de lis. Me gusta por la mañana después del café bebio pasearme por la Habana
Estrellas de Areito (The Stars of Areito) was an ensemble involving over thirty of Cuba's musicians, including Rubén González, Richard Egües, Nino Rivera, Félix Chappotín, Miguelito Cuní, Pío Leyva, Arturo Sandoval, Tata Güines and Paquito D'Rivera.
The album contained fourteen tracks and was recorded in six days. It opened with "Chan Chan" written by Compay Segundo, a four-chord son (Dm, F, Gm, A7) that was to become what Cooder described as "the Buena Vista's calling card"; [6] and ending with a rendition of "La bayamesa", a traditional Cuban patriotic song (not to be confused with the Cuban national anthem of the same name).
