Juanes in Cuba: Quite a Concert - Havana Times.org
HAVANA TIMES, Sept. 21 - It turned out to be quite a concert. Cuban TV, unlike the foreign press, had kept news about the event low-key. But on Friday its coverage of Juanes’ idea and its genesis began to increase.
That evening a documentary by journalist Esther Barroso was featured with interviews of Cuban singers Amaury Perez, Silvio Rodriguez, Carlos Varela and other national artists and music promoters.
Their views were juxtaposed with arguments from Florida Republicans Ileana Ros Lethinen and Lincoln Díaz Balart, and several musicians and analysts from Miami-something that hasn’t been seen since the Elian Gonzalez episode nearly a decade ago. The initial perception by ordinary Cubans was a mixture of and astonishment and amazement.
