From the LA Times:
In 1989, she made the first of many trips to Cuba to study bata drums, which are
played in sets of three. "The only way you can learn to play those things is to be
taught by someone who is an expert, who is consecrated," said Raul Fernandez, professor
of Latin American studies at UC Irvine. "They knew she was honest and truly interested,
not there on some capricious whim."
