. >> etian is in his element. the rhymes just fall into place. the 26-year-old hip-hop or -- hip-hopper is popular with cuban youth. when it comes to the state, he is more tolerated than appreciated. "free your mind" -- that's his motto and a sticker on the computer he uses to write his lyrics. etian hopes it is the dawn of a new era now that the united states is reaching out its hands. >> this isn't just an opportunity for cubans, it is also a chance for the americans and for the entire world. it shows it's possible to resolve issues. >> etian is located on the periphery of havana, home to 130,000 people living in socialist style housing surrounded by palm trees. life is led at a gentle pace here. it's even a little boring. there's not much on offer for young people. no cinemas, no theaters, and no internet. >> young people in cuba hope they will be able to travel more. they hope they will be able to go online. they want to get to know different countries and learn about other cultures. it would be good if more people visited our country. i hope
