Summary
Cuban reggaetón musicians Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom of the duo Gente De Zona; Yotuel Romero, member of the Cuban band Orishas; and singer-songwriter Descemer Bueno.The group collaborated to release a song and video titled "Patria Y Vida" in February and they are not the only artists releasing music in support of Cuba and the protesters. Cuban American and activist Angelique Diaz said the song represents a new generation of Cubans ready to fight back with lyrics such as: No more lies, My people call for freedomNo more doctrines, we no longer shout homeland or death, homeland and life insteadAnd start building what we've dreamed ofWhat they destroyed with their hands"Patria y Vida" refutes the idea that Cuba is a "paradise" and addresses food shortages and poverty in the country.
