I recently read items from a heated condemnation of the presentation, punctuated by patroticas passions and full of derogatory terms, to encourage the singer views and welcome the initiative. Several Cuban writers in the blogosphere are radical and strong line of exile in Miami. Juanes berate the fact that singing in the Plaza of the Revolution and call it "puppet to the Castro regime." He was also attacked for its lack of commitment to freedom of the people of Cuba, for its propagandistic zeal to capitalize the word "Peace" and his use of a message called "apolitical." Cuban exile and his spokesmen offer you Juanes to sing in their own land and preaches peace among his countrymen, but starting with the remote jungles of Colombia and the Mono Jojoy as guest of honor in the front row. He was branded a fashion plate for the promotion of revolution. He has been called as a character outside Cuba and its history, an artist disrespectful and ignorant. Ninoska Perez, Executive Council Freedom to Cuba adds that the Cuban people need democracy and solidarity, not a concert that ignores 50 years of oppression. Juanes sentence for not taking a firm stance and rejection of the Castro regime and added that he does not, becomes an accomplice. That sounds as a kind of revolution in reverse, or you're with me or you are an enemy more. Something roughly like, especially with the opposition and nothing from communism.
On the other hand, voices of support and admiration also resonate from various angles. And as to enlarge the break feature in the view of the Cuban people, many of those who are exiled Miamienses recommended. Cuban exiles, of course, but also the rest of Colombia and Venezuela in Latin America, those who argue the use of a vision for the future and a future under the banner of music. Juanes himself defended his point by adding: "We must open our minds to the Cuban people so that they do the same to us. Forget politics and tendamosle hand and the people of Cuba." According to the promoter of the artist, "The concert will be a live target for Cuban civil society. A peace concert." Juanes has become a perfect target for the more radical elements in South Florida and the rest of the world. Now, the artist, who lives in Miami, involves more hostile reactions Miamienses Cuban him loose in the face, as he walked down any street in their daily lives. Even his wife Karen have been affected by the attitudes of the most reactionary sections of exile. In places as varied as a supermarket and casual insults and attacks have not ceased.
However, the cards remain on the table and as things stand, September 20 (day of great symbolic value, it is the international day United Nations Peace), the artist is present in Havana paisa. Points also remain the same. The most outraged Cuban exiles are correct in arguing that the artist will be used as an advertising and promotion of revolution. Communist Youth groups will be placed in the front row and arranged to give the image that best suits the regime. The communist propaganda machine, playing with all you have to impress overseas to set up a puppet rack and arrange a play, lies, half truths and distraction. They also are right in denouncing the format apolitical concert. Recall that under this system of norms and cultural symbols, even though you try, nothing comes to be apolitical. Everything carries an inherent meaning and is drawn as a symbol for something else. The concert apolitical, in fact, does not exist.
However most of these writers, sins by virtue of his statement. The situation with anger and rage, frustration and sadness is so great that happens to influence the words of the exiled master who wants to express their discontent and their opposition or wisely n and reasoned. I have read, for example, in a very famous blog of a Cuban writer based in Paris, the words of larger span, a tone too passionate (Dionysus) and if it can decipher between the lines, a rough sense of rage and hatred artist country and those who encourage it. In this way, the point of exile, self-transverse to desvalidarce part and issue statements that will undoubtedly go beyond the views of the majority of Cuban exiles. Of course, none of this is new. Back in the eighties and nineties several Cuban artists who wanted to make a stop and an appearance in Miami, or have been boycotted and slandered with allocations of criminals and murderers, or have been convicted and denied permission to carry out their shows.
The proposal of some bloggers to send Juanes to sing in the jungles of Colombia, Juanes also fails because, along with other outstanding amount of Colombian and international artists and sang in the most remote parts of Colombia. True, Colombia needs peace, but freedom in Cuba and in exile, freedom of dissent and tolerance. Concert enthusiasts are right in wanting to communicate that the presentation is an opportunity to bring the Cuban people forget a little joy and some quality music and news. In addition, John has a long history very active against landmines, and against the FARC. Juanes not wake up one day thinking about Cuba. His activist work takes years and has put in front of assemblies International and European Parliament. The presentation in Havana was only a matter of time.
If the presentation is carried out successfully, the concert series will honor its semantic structure, "Sin Fronteras." Without borders because not only geographical boundaries but breaking the paradigms that play consecutively in the mind of the individual who is part of the group called "exile." The concert will, in fact, without borders because it has penetrated the rigid capsule standardized to think of this trans-national group and will be able circumvent the order of ideas and values \u200b\u200bthat emanate from the heart of exile Miamiense. Without borders, because neither the communist ideology prevented the artist singing where deemed necessary. More Juanes merit even for its proposal, taking into account their physical point of enunciation.
