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.

When I went to do Carson that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. Conga hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case.

My son traveled the world with me on every tour. He wasn't a lover of school, so it was easy with him. I had a tutor on the road, keep him at the same level, so when he'd pop back home he'd go right back in.

I spent my childhood alone, overweight and ugly, angry at everything, and knowing nothing of a life beyond this sadness.
