Great to hear she’s still at it! Haven’t heard much about her recently.

Gloria Estefan, great, no balls to do it in Cuba - just mess with Miami.

When Castro sees these “protests” in Miami, he just LHAO.

I would.

Mind you I like Gloria Esteban’s music, but this is just silly.

Good for Ms. Estefan. I was not a big fan of her music, but she’s a good lady and doing a good thing.

BTW, here’s a vid of the White Ladies of Havana, and the treatment they get at the hands of Castro’s flunkies:

Fidel! Hear me!

When you die, you will face your crimes against your own people. I hope God will send you to where you will never ever be happy again. May you never ever again experience the smile of a child, the comfort of your mate or the warmth of the Sun.

And may you forever be aware of your total hopelessness. Bastard.

I had a big argument last week with my British husband's British cousin about Cuba. He said that poor American citizens are able to go to Cuba to get the Cuban Cadillac Health care to have the cataract operations that they can't afford in America. This is the propaganda that foreign newspapers are promoting. Cuban Health care is Cadillac care. Americans are desperate to get to Cuba to get better care. Our foreign neighbors are delusional. I just told him it is a lie. Americans can't get a Visa to go to Cuba for any reason. Period.

August, 2000:

Estefan slams 'terrorist' Castro
Havana-born Estefan came to the US following the 1959 revolution

Cuban-American pop star Gloria Estefan has said Cuba's people are "suffering" under the rule of Fidel Castro.

The Cuban-born singer, who was on a trip to Mexico, said the 38-year-old US embargo against the communist-led island was entirely Castro's responsibility.

Estefan said the real embargo was the one Castro, 74, imposes against Cubans: "Fidel has control over the money and over the people."

"There is everything one needs in Cuba, but the only people who cannot enjoy this are Cubans, because of the embargo maintained by Fidel, who is the only one responsible for their suffering," the 42-year-old told the Mexican news agency Notimex.

"Fidel runs an oppressive and terrorist government," she added.

The singer was in Mexico to promote her latest CD Alma Caribena (Caribbean Soul), which she recorded with salsa great Celia Cruz, another anti-Castro Cuban.

She will also be publicising the work of a charity, Mexico's United Foundation programme, which helps children with disabilities.

Estefan, who was accompanied by her husband, music producer Emilio Estefan, will be touring hospitals and recording TV ads to promote the charity's money-raising telethon.

Anti-Castro

Estefan's father worked for Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, who was overthrown by Castro, and fled with his family to the US after the 1959 revolution.

In April Estefan joined actor Andy Garcia and other prominent members of the Cuban-American community in the custody battle over shipwreck survivor Elian Gonzalez.

The Miami-based community campaigned for the six-year-old Cuban boy to stay in the US against his father's wishes, but was thwarted when the US government intervened.

I admire her. She seems like a decent human being who aspires to be a decent human being.

Miami is the capital of Latin America, so she has a bigger audience than just Miami.

Most entertainment people are jumping all over themselves to suck up to Castro and Chavez. She is a refreshing exception to the rule.
