Some of them shared with BroadwayWorld what celebrating Cuba at this special event means to them: 

"We’re united by a place that most of us have never been and this is just a small sample of the tremendous talent that stems from our beloved island. I’m grateful to be a part of it" said Janet Dacal.

"Putting this show together with Claudia Mulet has been a beautiful labor of love.  I consider it a privilege to honor those who came before us, those that are thriving now and those that are yet to come who all share the same Cuban heartbeat," explained Henry Gainza . "When Broadgüey intersects with Cuba, well you’ll see…It’s quite magical! ¡Un Cubanicornio!"

"Singing Cuban music at Joe’s Pub feels like honoring the culture that raised me and inviting everyone into its fire, tenderness, and joy," added Katerina McCrimmon.

"Con C de Cuba has long been a dream of mine. This event is more than a celebration, it’s a moment to unite Cubans in a shared experience of music, culture, and community," said Claudia Mulet. "It offers us an opportunity to honor our history while beginning the work of healing and reconnecting the bonds between generations, all through what unite us today, Broadway."

“Being part of Con C de Cuba feels like standing in the heartbeat of my culture. Growing up in Miami I was surrounded by the rhythms, flavors, and stories of the island. To share that legacy on stage is a love letter to where I come from, my family, and a reminder that being Cuban is pure pride, joy, and music flowing through our veins,” added Maria Bilbao.
