:10:03
Is there a problem?
:10:06
I just need some information.
:10:09
Okay.
:10:12
So, you've been a musician
for how many years?
:10:16
Since I was six years old.
:10:20
I taught my cat how to walk on a tight rope
while I played the bongos.
:10:25
It was like an animal act.
:10:29
And you were educated at
a government-run music school?
:10:32
Yes.
:10:33
You were classically trained?
:10:36
Yes.
:10:38
It says you were a member
of the Cuban Music Academy.
:10:44
Is that right?
:10:47
Yes.
:10:48
Is that a state-sponsored organization?
:10:51
Yes.
:10:53
Your first professional job....
What is that? "Orquesta--"
:10:57
Cuban Modern Music Orchestra.
:11:00
-Government sponsored?
-Yes, of course.
:11:04
If the government doesn't sponsor it,
it doesn't exist.
:11:07
Maybe I'm missing something here,
because it seems that on paper...
:11:12
...that the government
treated you quite well.
:11:16
They supported you as a musician.
:11:18
Yes.
:11:22
Yes, as long as I did what they wanted.
