00:27 - But you are Cuban? - Yes.
00:30 - Are you married to a foreigner? - No, no, no, no, no.
00:32 - I am doing a report for ADN Cuba, so that the whole world can see the work you have.
00:41 - The work you have, what do you do? Come on, there comes the question.
00:48 - What do we do? - Yes.
00:49 - We are making music. - Cuban music.
00:52 - Cuban music. - Cuban music.
00:54 - We, each of us has a trade, apart from music.
01:00 - I know everything. - Yes.
01:04 - For example, I was a mechanic and centrifugal operator.
01:06 - Yes.
01:07 - That has to do with the last process where the sugar passes.
01:10 - Yes. - Do you understand? A central.
01:12 - But well, all the centrals were destroyed, so I dedicated myself to music.
01:17 - And I was a builder, a construction worker, of all kinds of construction work.
01:24 - I was a technician in heavy and light equipment. Mechanical, etc.
01:30 - I was a carpenter in a workshop making furniture and instruments too.
01:35 - And I've been doing this for five years, with a train in my hand.
01:39 - And I was a cook. I was a cook until I graduated from high school.

01:53 - But well, it didn't work out for me and I went to my own.
01:57 - To music. - To music.
01:59 - Of course, it's a logical thing. Why? Because we were born with that little bug,
02:04 - as we say, vulgarly, but the truth comes from above.
02:08 - That's how it is. - How much does it cost when you break the equipment?
02:11 - Oh no, no, no. - A lot of money.
02:14 - We have to wait for some foreigner to come and donate it.

02:22 - This is an instrument that is made here, just like the minor percussions,
02:26 - like tumbadora, maraca, guiro, clave, minor percussions.
02:32 - But since the arrangements are very expensive, it is preferable that they come here,
02:36 - and donate it, just like the strings. - Yes.
02:38 - The strings are not made here, they come mainly from Mexico and donate it.
02:42 - And at the time of buying the strings, how much does it cost?
02:44 - Well, a string set here costs 800 and here 900 pesos.
02:49 - Wow, it's hard. - Yes.
02:51 - For example, look at this trumpet, Mr. Araby gave it to me.
02:54 - This instrument is not made here. - Yes.
02:57 - So we have to wait for a musician to come out and sell it, we have to wait for someone to come and donate it.
