The roots of Cuban music are in my head.

I've been to Cuba many times.

The Cuban people have an amazingly strong and unbroken spirit.

I'd like to go to Cuba.

Cubans are frantic when it comes to appreciating music.

Cuba is such a beautiful country, and everywhere you go, there's music and people dancing - especially in Havana.

I'm Cuban-American, everybody says. I have a Cuban background, Cuban blood.

My mom can cook really good Cuban food, so we go eat there on the regular. And the Cuban coffee - you know how you drink coffee at a really young age.

I think that I've tried many times to get Cuba in my writings, especially Havana, which was once a great and fascinating city.
