S5E1: Actress and Ballerina, Paloma Morales (billions know her as Justin Timberlake’s happy, dancing diner “waitress”) Explains the Meaning of Cuba’s Festive Noche Buena ... Celebrated by Cubans Everywhere (except Cuba)
Description
This is a very special holiday Liberal Sherpa podcast because it was inspired by the many questions from our listeners and followers who have been asking “What is Noche Buena?” Cathy Areu knows the answer should come from a proud, and maybe one of the most recognizable Cuban V.I.P. 's in our country: Actress, Singer, and Dancer Paloma Morales. Paloma, who is known by billions worldwide as the dancing diner waitress in Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling” music video, is also part of Disney's new movie this holiday season: “Encanto.” And, to my surprise, she’s also on TV right now in one of the happiest holiday ads of the season.
When she arrived in the United States at 15, she enjoyed many “firsts,” but perhaps the most amazing first was celebrating Cuba’s most special nights: “Noche Buena.” From the food to the presents, she’ll explain it all ... including why it’s been banned in her native Cuba for over 50 years.
