I get goose bumps listening to Gloria. I love her and I love Cubans. This song, once again, is a tribute to them.
Also, I’m borrowing Gloria’s sentiment in this song for Cuba to express my feeling for my country, the United States of America. I’m sure the Cubanos would agree with me since they have been a powerful force among Latinos in politics and business in the United States. Many of old guard Cubanos are conservative and Republican. By the way, Latinos (or Hispanics) are the fastest growing group in the United States. The U.S., therefore, is becoming more Latin.
Yes, I know Colombia is great. I love my family and Colombia as well. Colombia is part of my identity. However, a larger part of my identity comes from the United States of America. If English speaking only gringos can understand the sentiment and passion in this song, music, and beat, they’ll know what I mean and feel about America, and the heart of the Latin people in it like myself. Enjoy.

miamimike says on Jan 25, 2008, 18:30: I have mixed feelings on the Cubans. They come to Miami and complain a lot! They by far are the Biggest complainers I have ever heard here in the USA. They complain a lot about the Country(usa) that opened their Doors and gave them everything their country wouldn't give them. They complain about Fidel when in fact, if they hadn't cut&Ran and instead stayed and fought, they would likely be a free country today. Instead, they Cut&Ran to Miami. Castro didn't take their Island, they gave it to Him by fleeing to Miami so I have little sympathy for them. Not to mention the Hatchet Job they do on Butchering the SPanish Langauge,,,Terrible "Wait a minute. What did you just say? You're predicting $4-a-gallon gas? That's interesting. I hadn't heard that." -- Feb. 28, 2008 --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

slguy says on Jan 26, 2008, 01:18: It is the nature of cubans to complain. They simply can't help themselves. The same cuban crowd who's spent almost 50 years bitchin' about castro will be equally verbose complaining about the lack of US help rebuilding that country after the Commie regime falls. count on it.

miamimike says on Jan 26, 2008, 18:01: One thing that Really Burns me is that if a Cubans comes here illegally and is over 65 and NEVER WORKED ONE DAY in their life and never even payed a dime into the Social Security Fund, they are entitled to receive Monthly $$$ Benefits. Along with Plan 8 Subsidized Housing, Federal Food Stamps, Medicare/Medicaid, reduced or free in some cases, Scooling, Free Public Transportation,college ect. And they are Complaining??????????????????? A US Veteran wouldn't get these entitlements after serving in Battle defending the USA,,, Granted, the Cuban Women are Hot in Bed hardly any other Women compares Sex Wise. You haven't lived until you have had a few of these,,,LOL "Wait a minute. What did you just say? You're predicting $4-a-gallon gas? That's interesting.

MaFe says on Feb 27, 2008, 16:26: I don't like it when Latinos start complaining about the U.S. too, the hand that fed them and made them who they are! Miamimike, I agree with you.
