Celia Cruz was from Cuba. Some of these artists even having to leave some family members behind to be able to come to the United States to create a better life for themselves. It's very hard to comprehend what Cuba has had to deal with over the past 60 + years, but the pandemic even made it worse. The past couple days, Cubans all over America have hit the streets to speak out and support their country which is now on the brink of their own civil war. I found this information very helpful to better understand what they are dealing with.
