So I used to watch the show One Day At A Time but haven’t since it was taken off Netflix. I recently remembered the cringe inducing scene where the daughter compared Che Guevara to Hitler and Kanye.

This then made me remember Celia Cruz being praised on the show and her music being a part of the soundtrack. I looked up how she felt about Castro and the revolution; turns out she was one of the anti-revolutionists that fled Cuba.

Most of the sources I could find when looking for more information were fairly anti-Castro so I’ve hit a bit of a wall when it comes to why Celia made the choice she did and what she believed in general.

Weird question, I know. But considering her music is still quite popular and she’s talked about on that show, I have an urge to learn more.
