Gloria Estefan Shares Why She Won't Perform in Cuba

"I don't wanna go and have a vacation in a place where the people that live in that country can't enjoy the same things that I can as a Cuban exile," says Gloria Estefan in an interview that's part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Louder Than Words exhibit. #RockPolitics

57 is a long time! I should know it. Thank you Gloria for sharing your opinion about the state of your country, why you’re still do not want to go back to Cuba, but it’s ok if everyone else wants to do it.

How wonderfully articulate her statement. Having witnessed oppression in too many of the 12 countries in Latin America that I have been blessed to visit, I can appreciate her statement of solidarity for the island nation and the people she loves.

Such an artistic, and graceful lady. My hats off to her. She expressed her viewpoint with grace and in a dignified way. Very well spoken.

Gloria Estefan is a true American hero and stands for the freedom of the Cuban people whom I hope will one day be free ❤️

[ImNotADeeJay]

where the people that live in that country can't enjoy the same things that I can .... well, to be fair, 99.999% of the world population won't ever be able to enjoy the same things that she can.

Want life to get better for the Cuban people? End the US blockade, but since her father was in the employment of the brutal dictator Batista I think we know what she really wants for the Cuban people.

I'm in Cuba as a tourist right now, and I'm not looking to come back. Go somewhere else! But don't go to Cuba

[jacktwist]

Gloria is a Star and always tell the truth.

Is sad cause al Cubans should be able to go to cuba

[LoveAge]

Love people who stand firm with their ideology. (when it is for the benefit of people and the Earth) I so understand her. Fully support her view.

[MK-ozlf]

So you want all these non-Cubans that go to Cuba to do the work of helping local Cubans that want to reform their current system of government? You want to sit back and wait until the storm passes? And if that day comes when the storm passes, THEN you will go and capitalize with your brand and Gloria you are a Chickenhawk.

How come, u2 today
Selena Quintanillas story stands as the cornerstone foundation of the present day Human Rights/Anti-Human trafficking, forced career, and Social Justice movements in a technologically advanced society. The modern day entertainment industry in particular the music industry as well as various communication and communications media have also been largely founded by those present involved in the production of these events which stand as a most severe matter. We see here in every instance the forced nature of the career of every female artist as well as others on hand in the most physically intrusive manners; who appear in this tejano so called racially commercialized and community destroying endeavour. Which has effectively silenced the voices of entire communities and the human rights movement as a whole. This behavior has continued till present day, simultaneously we see those personally accountable for what truly is a human catastrophe for all society as a whole and brazenly promotes complicity to an already at risk population. The abusive tactics used to intimidate persons vulnerable like Selena Quintanilla highlights the need for immediate societal education. Education on forced relationships, which clearly begets the norm here, and crime free atmospheres which are needed in an advanced tech society faced with long term accountability. Even one such instance resembling what we see here such as that of Ariana Grande has been globally lambasted for offensive volatility, why is this still being allowed in global silence here. Do good to be, question id imposition

I hope her children & grandchildren are Free Thinkers and courageous.
