While Gilberto Santa Rosa celebrated his 30 year salsa career at Madison Square Garden, he took time out to tell the crowd his opinion on the escalating crisis in Iraq.
We have many of our fellow countrymen fighting in this absurd war…and the best Christmas will be when they return. I am speaking for the innocents who are fighting and dying over there on both sides.
The Latin Grammy winner and featured artist on the new Cocorocos album has spoken in public about his position against the war in Iraq before, specifically at a concert in Puerto Rico earlier this year.
