It's important because in Cuba, in order to perform, he had to be a member of the Communist Party.

When he tried to become a U.S. Citizen, that Communist membership in Cuba caused a lot of problems.

He finally overcame them.

Kind of a bigger scale of what I went through. I missed out on a few gigs because I refused to join the Musicians Union.

Hope that makes sense.
