Zoe Valdes Quotes

1. “Frankly, I don’t think you should perform in a plaza where thousands of Cubans have been subjected to the death penalty, by firing squad, including three young black men in 2003. What is needed in Cuba is a concert in favor of democracy, civil liberties for the people, the freedom of political prisoners, free elections, and the expulsion of dictatorial power.”
