Gorki is already a legend of Cuban music, and liberty

I know it's been out for a few years, but I just finished watching for the first time, "Leyendas ... The Legends of Cuban Music," which pays tribute to the giants of Cuban music over the past 90 years. A must-watch, if you haven't been fortunate to have yet seen this documentary.

One day, punk rocker Gorki Aguila will be deserving of joining that pantheon, if not for his music, then for his courage and humor in standing up and resisting the Castro dictatorship through the raw power of his guitar and his voice.

This interview reveals clearly where he is coming from, and why he is already a legend.
