Alot of artists claim to come from poverty. Alot of artists follow the "rags to riches" theme. Try being born in a communist country, a country that takes away your voice, your rights, your dreams, your dignity and self respect. Every year, thousands of cubans flee their homeland leaving behind friends and family, as they begin the journey towards freedom. They risk their lives just to have a say, or to be more than just a number. Seeking new beginnings, the ability to dream, but most importantly, the right to matter. Some will die at sea in their attempt for freedom. The ones who make it to shore, are blessed, and for the first time in there lives, they have opportunity.
