Given this background, it's not surprising that she is a fervent supporter of the world's longest-serving dictator and in interviews has few nice things to say about Cuban exiles and escapees, referring to them as "thieves and criminals." This dramatic story is told by Oates herself in heavily accented, broken English while chewing on a fat cigar during the music and dance routines of Lady Salsa.
Even without her presence on stage, however, Lady Salsa is a particularly eye-popping performance thanks mainly to the sultry dancers, but also to the son band Sonora la Calle from Santiago de Cuba.
The performers also get the audience on their feet to test out their own pelvic thrusts and rump shaking. Don't worry if it all seems too risque, though. The performance has gotten the stamp of approval from Cuba's Ministry of Ideology, no joke.
