The leader of the Buena Fe duo and fervent defender of the Cuban regime, Israel Rojasspoke about the massive fight of young people at the Finca de los Monos, which occurred last Saturday.
“I passed by there. And I knew that was not going well. “There have been many years of seeing masses of young people,” the singer began by saying, adding that this fact alone “is progress.”
“The film will be released this summer, or next. All conditions are created for situations like this in any corner of Cuba,” he continued in a post published on the social network Facebook.
Israel mentioned among the causes the serious economic crisis, attention to the tastes of young people and digital content which he described as “without ethical or aesthetic counterweights and to whom the most money has been invested to position culture? carrier of anti-values.”
The level of criticism from an artist who has always been supported by the regime is surprising, whom this time he implicitly blamed for “the crisis in the educational sector,” and warned them that “all that and more is there, what sun can’t.” “You can cover it with a finger.”
He mentioned that “What happened should serve to better understand who we Cubans are today in this country after the pandemic“, because according to him “there was a Cuba that is no longer the same in less than 4 years.”
He also narrated that that same day he gave a concert at the National Museum of Fine Arts, in which he was invited to celebrate the 15 years of the television program “Entre Manos.”
“For that type of cultural option there is no streaming platform, there are no Community Manager agencies, there is no management to maximize (paid) reach on digital platforms. There is no Youtubers that react and comment and amplify and make fashionable. “What happened at the Museum of Fine Arts was moving,” he said.
Israel, who also shared a video of the event, clarified to those who did not agree with his opinion that he has been “trying for more than 25 years to get young people and adolescents, children and the elderly who like my music to go to a concert to sing.” , dance and have fun without the risk of getting hurt,” were his words.
The images of the massive fight between groups of young people that took place at the Finca de los Monosin Havana, can be described as surprising, as they make clear the existence of gangs armed with machetes and wounded with knives.
The Cuban regime, in the voice of its spokesperson Humberto Lopezraised to six the number of injured by this unfortunate event.
Araiz Torreslinked to Klatus Creativo, the main sponsor of the event, said that “institutional communication failed at all levels,” and clarified that “it was never reported that the activity had not been authorized,” contradicting the latter with the Government of Havana, which said the opposite.
In a text full of darts and ironies, the entrepreneur – because she clarified that she is not a civil servant or state worker – argued that she did not have to know or check the protocols and that the request was made in writing.
