• Communism wasn't a word that I thought of when I went to Cuba. The original Fidelistas were not Communists. They were graduate students at the university and law students. After the Fidelistas took over, they went to Washington and tried to get support from the U.S. government, which turned them down. They were in a desperate political and economic situation, so they took the offer from the Soviet Union. Communism was a matter of necessity.

• Being born in Cuba, a country where freedom of speech is non-existent, it's startling to observe how Venezuela, where I was happily raised, is fast becoming Cuba's mirror image: Dismantling of fundamental democratic rights deserved by its people and citizens of the world.

• I grew up in Cuba under a strong, military, oppressive dictatorship. So as a teenager, I found myself involved in a revolution. I remember during that time, a young, charismatic leader rose up, talking about 'hope' and 'change'. His name was Fidel Castro.

• A medida que te haces mayor, por ejemplo, en nuestra banda hay miembros de la orquesta, como Carlos Enríquez, Ali Jackson y Walter Blanning. Les enseñé cuando estaban en el instituto, y ahora ellos me enseñan a mí. A menudo llamo a Ali y le digo: "Tío, ¿puedes explicarme este ritmo?". O Carlos era en realidad nuestro director musical en Cuba, y ha sido fundamental en gran parte de mi educación, y empecé a desarrollar un dicho con ellos, porque me toman el pelo todo el tiempo - te haces mayor, tienes esa relación familiar - Yo digo: "Tienes que seguir tu liderazgo joven, también."

• Gracias a los patéticos reportajes de The New York Times y otros aduladores de los medios de comunicación hace más de 50 años, Fidel Castro, tras la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista, también fue visto por muchos como un libertador de Cuba. 'Yo no soy comunista y tampoco lo es el movimiento revolucionario'. dijo Castro en su momento. Sólo después de consolidarse en el poder dijo la verdad: 'Soy marxista-leninista y lo seré hasta el último día de mi vida'.

• Cuba is like going to a whole other planet. It's so different but it's so similar to the United States, to Miami. It's like a doppelgaenger. It's the mirror image. And I have no doubt, that once Cuba becomes democratic, that it will be the favorite tourist destination for Americans.
