So that I saw music as a way of documenting realities from the urban cities of Latin America.

And music was a very important part of our lives. The radio was on all day.

There was no television, so the radio provided you with everything.

I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.

What is interesting in this is the exchange of music that occurred between New Orleans and Cuba, I mean, they had ferries that would go from one port to another.

So I went to Miami in '74 with my family and while I was there it became obvious that we needed money and we needed to do something, because my family, we left without anything really, and we didn't have any money to begin with.

Rock is young music, it is youth oriented. It just speaks for a generation.
