I listen to and I play all kinds of music, and I'm interested in jazz and in bluegrass - I like it all - but Cuban music speaks to me in a certain way.
Andy Garcia
Image
I'm learning Cuban. It's like Spanish, but with fewer words for luxury items.
Emo Philips
Image
My dad would call me his Cuban princess because I had really dark olive skin because I was always in the sun but I don't really go in the sun anymore, so that is why I am so white.
Bella Thorne

The Cuban Revolutionary Government has been generous and very considerate to me and my family. I lived in Santa Clara for a few months because I wanted to work in the countryside and get to know the country better.
Huey Newton

You have to eat right. That does not mean that I don't drink Cuban coffee. That does not mean that I do not have two cigarettes a day - that's what I'm down to. I drink wine - you know, I'm normal. But I do eat well.
Cristina Saralegui

Music is so essential to the Cuban character that you can't disentangle it from the history of the nation. the history of Cuban music is one of cultural collisions, of voluntary and forced migrations, of religions and revolutions.
Ned Sublette

What's happening in Cuba is not a failure of the Cuban people. It's a failure of Fidel Castro and the Communists.
Ronald Reagan

Younger Cuban Americans who have decided to go to the island always come back telling me that isn't the country my grandparents have told me about.

[Cuban coffee is] very powerful, very sweet, and a little dangerous - just like the people who drink it.
Gloria Estefan
Image
My mother likes what I cook, but doesn't think it's French. My wife is Puerto Rican and Cuban, so I eat rice and beans. We have a place in Mexico, but people think I'm the quintessential French chef.
Jacques Pepin

My grandmother would shanghai pilots at the Havana airport so they'd bring me cartons of mango baby food - the only kind I'd eat. I learned to eat peach later. And in every carton, she'd slip a Cuban record.
Gloria Estefan
Image
The reason we have a Cuban Adjustment Act is because, at the beginning, they [migrants] were fleeing political persecution.
Marco Rubio
Image
Ry Cooder for me is a master, a great master that has a wonderful feel for Cuban music. He's also paid tribute my talent a bit, even though I don't know half of what he knows.
Compay Segundo

I am not the representative of guerrilla in this hemisphere. I would say that the representative would be Fidel Castro which was the leader of our revolution and who had the most outstanding role in the direction of the revolutionary struggle and directs the strategy of the Cuban government.
Che Guevara
Image
I think generally speaking, both people are trying to be free from the abuses of the white racist North American authorities. I think that's the one common denominator. The Cubans found a way to liberate themselves and we haven't found the way yet. So that's the difference.
Huey Newton
Image
The Spanish and Cuban people have the same kind of wakes the Irish do. They go on for two or three days and drink a lot of booze and eat a lot of food.
Desi Arnaz

I'll know America is in bad shape when Cubans in Miami get in the water and swim back to Cuba.
Carlos Mencia
Image
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.
Gloria Estefan
Image
I might be a Cuban American, but I'm also an Afro-Cuban American.
Jon Secada

I'm Cuban-American, everybody says. I have a Cuban background, Cuban blood.
Gio Gonzalez

Many who later lost faith in Fidel Castro can remember how they once admired the man who needed just a dozen men to launch the Cuban revolution.
Tom Gjelten
Image
There's a Cuban saying: Bicho malo nunca muere. Loose translation: The good die young but the wicked live forever. It seems to apply to Fidel. I hope it applies to me.
Gustavo Perez Firmat
Image
I believe that the boycott that we have against Cuba is counterproductive, and it also makes the twelve million or so Cuban people suffer unnecessarily just because of a foolish policy of the United States.
Jimmy Carter
Image
In 1934 there were very few Cubans in Miami.
