Cubans are frantic when it comes to appreciating music.

I'm part Cuban, so anything with a good beat like Rumberos de Cuba gets me going.

When it comes to musicians, I'm like the daddy of musicians here in Cuba.

When we decided to go to Cuba to perform, we did it because we just wanted to build a bridge, you know, between Cuba and the rest of the community. And we just wanted to prove that music and art need to be over all ideology or way to think life, and we just wanted to go in there and play just because of love.

Can you imagine that Cuba and Europe's youth, who had forgotten about traditional music, who only thought of rock music, are now looking back towards their grandparents? That is a phenomenon.

Those who have always had faith in its final success can do no less than rejoice as if it was our own triumph after five years of daily struggle to impose Cuban music on the European continent.

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

The Cuban people have an amazingly strong and unbroken spirit.

Growing up in Miami, I had all these great, strong influences. You know, being Cuban and the Latin influence, but also the strong hip-hop influence.
