Real American Story: Tiempo Libre, Dreaming of America from the Rooftops of Havana

Jorge Gómez and Tiempo Libre dreamed of America from the rooftops of Havana. Watch the incredible story captured by Real American Stories.

Gómez might have grown up very poor in Cuba but he lived in a house rich with passion and full of music.

Gómez and his band mates would stay up late until the state radio stations went off the air in Cuba, then they would climb to the roof of their buildings to catch the sounds of American music beaming in from Miami radio stations using home-made antennas.
