I've done a lot of things away from my homeland.
The music that I play and that I like is traditional music, maybe it's because of my age.
I'll only stop singing when I'm in my grave.
Can you imagine that Cuba and Europe's youth, who had forgotten about traditional music, who only thought of rock music, are now looking back towards their grandparents? That is a phenomenon.
In order to grow old, you have to experience everything, but in moderation.
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.
