After a series of meetings with five Members of Congress, a older valid from the Caucasian Billet, panel discussions on the position of civilization, and interviews with greater information organizations, he concluded his stop in Washington with a potent play of his music and assuredly question and fit sitting at the New America Fundamental principle (NAF) and with questions posed by Tim Brilliant and Eugene Robinson , both of whom are pronounced journalists, Cuba experts, and lovers of Carlos’s music.
