cont’d “I think being Latino is a beautiful thing all the way
around. The people are warm, they're hardworking,
they're proud, they embrace their culture, they're about
family, faith — and I celebrate all of those things. I
wouldn't want it any other way.” -Mario Lopez
“How is my heritage reflected in the music that I make? I
embody it everywhere I go. If you don’t know where you’re
from, you don’t know where you’re going. And if you don’t
stand for something, you’re going to fall for anything. I’m very
proud to be a first-generation Cuban-American.” -Pitbull
