You know that.
1:26:11
You were wonderful.
1:26:15
Wait.
1:27:00
Why do you think the Cuban government
is so afraid of your music?

1:27:10
They're not afraid of my music,
they're afraid of ideas.

1:27:14
Come on,
Fidel Castro is afraid of your ideas?

1:27:17
Fidel Castro is afraid
of any idea that's not his.

1:27:21
-You know how he overthrew Batista?
-It was a popular revolution.

1:27:25
It was a popular idea, it was a great idea.
1:27:28
He promised Cuban people
what they were desperate for:

1:27:30
Restoration of a constitution, democracy,
freedom from a dictatorship.

1:27:34
He did it with 80 people and 50 guns.
1:27:37
And a boat that nearly sank
because of a running toilet.

1:27:40
That can't be all they had.
1:27:41
That's all he needed because the idea
gave him the strength of an army.

1:27:48
The reason I've come here is
to see if maybe I could talk about Arturo.

1:27:54
So he could be allowed to play his music.
1:27:57
It's not entirely an issue of music.
