For more than 50 years we have been involved with Cuban culture. It all started with the music, many years ago. I was drawn to the music and, inevitably, to the Cuban people. They are the lifeblood of all the expression, whether it is music or art. It’s who they are and they express it in a creative manner with great resourcefulness, no matter the medium. It’s very intense and it is very meaningful. You can feel them through their art.
