A melancholy, driving song, "No Return" takes the listener to the point in songwriter Victor Garcia-Rivera's life where his family was escaping the island prison of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.Told from the point of view of his mother, the song has her singing to Victor, her toddler son, who cried during the brief but traumatic trip.The journey from Havana to Miami may have been a short one in terms of miles, but it was indeed a long sojourn from which there would be "No Return". |

Short but potent, like a cup of cafe cubano, this 2 minute blast from Arranca has become an anthem for the Cuban roquero.Being a "roquero". or rock aficionado, in Cuba means going against the grain of the dictatorship."Soy Roquero" distills the frustration, rebelliousness, and pride, of a typical roquero in Castro's Cuba, into a melodic punk singalong. |
