The Sad Truth Is That Opportunity Doesn't

My Mother Had A Beautiful, Soothing Voice That Made Me Melt.

The Music Is One Of The Beautiful Things That Has Survived The Castro Regime. I Have Played For Audiences All Over The World But I've Never Played For A Cuban Audience. For [husband] Emilio And Me, The Music Is The One Tie To Our Homeland.

Sometimes My Mother Had Difficulty Communicating With Me About Certain Topics.

Music Has Been One Of The Most Beautiful Things In My Life And Will Always Be A Very Big Part Of Who I Am And What I Do.

All I Tell Artists Is, 'do What You Love. Never Let Anybody Talk You Into Changing What Your Musical Idea Is Just To Try To Get A Hit, Because You're Chasing Your Tail That Way. It's Not Going To Happen, And If You're Successful, You Have To Do It The Rest Of Your Life. Stay True To It And Do It For The Sake Of The Art.'
