The new theme of urban music that already appeals to Cubans, Homeland and Life, also released his video on Tuesday.
It is a collaboration between Maykel Osorbo, El Funky, Yotuel, Gente de Zona, Descemer Bueno and other Cuban musicians who are committed to the end of the Cuban regime and the freedom of Cuba.
The video is an extraordinary event, and it was possible thanks to the association of this star team, which featured vocals from Miami and Havana in the video.
Directed by Asiel Babastro, one of Cuba’s favorite directors of urban music, and had a special appearance by artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, whose work with the San Isidro movement has generated the empathy that rejects this song.
“It’s over, it’s over, 60 years has locked the domino,” says the issue related to the Cuban government, which has retained power for over 60 years under a single party authoritarian regime.
The video alternates images of the main musicians with excerpts from recent videos illustrating the repression in Cuba, such as the demonstration of the young Cuban Luis Robles on the Boulevard de San Rafael last December, the attack on the San Isidro movement and the artist demonstration that took place on November 27 in front of the Ministry of Culture.
In a video call from the artists before the video was releasedOsorbo and Otero Alcántara noted that almost everyone who appeared in the clip was black, connected by their humble origins and the neighborhoods they grew up in.
The song proposes a new slogan to replace the old and dogmatic official “fatherland or death” of the government: “Let us no longer call fatherland or death, but fatherland and life”, Alexander van Gente de Zona sings in an emotional way. .
The images in the video show a burning gallery, which may be an allegory of the end of official Cuban ideology and a possible reference to the work. A platform for democratic peace, by the Cuban painter Antonia Eiriz, and who was censored in 1967 by the government of Fidel Castro.
The image of Martí and that of George Washington lead and end the video, a clear reference to the democratic ideals of both historical figures and a visual resource that brings the United States diaspora closer to the Cubans of the island.
In just a few hours this Tuesday, the video had already been viewed over 25,700 times and has all the ballots to become an anthem, sung by many Cubans, demanding political and economic freedom from the Cuban government and the end of the dictatorship.
