This podcast is my first intimate conversation with a very good friend, where we are both reveling how was moving to America at a young age. Born and raised in Pinar Del Río, Cuba and now living in the United States of America, @NoybelGorgoy is a gifted recording artist, musician, composer, producer, singer-songwriter, and entertainer. Noybel’s style is a unique blend of her Cuban and classical roots, with Latin Soul, R&B, Jazz, Pop, and more. Her music contains a powerful, loving, and inspiring message. She has a track record of countless performances, touring around the world on grandeur platforms.

After traveling to 16 countries and performing to more than 3 million people over 4 years, the entire troupe decided to head to the United States. An amazing battle ensued over these 53 individuals who first attempted to come to the U.S. simply to do a tour and then return home. But politcal hostilities were amplified on both sides with the performers in the middle. "All we want to do is show people the Cuban culture,"
