Musicians Descemer Bueno and Israel Rojas starred in a fierce debate on social networks after Descemer spoke in a Facebook direct about the ridicule of the troubadours living on the island Ray Fernández, Adrián Berazaín and Rojas himself, regarding the song “Homeland and Life
In the most recent chapter of this controversy, Descemer responded to a post to Israel in which he compared it to Ephialtes of Thessaly, referring to the historical figure who betrayed the Spartans at the “Battle of Thermopylae.”
Bueno answered the post by falsely referring to Efialtes as a “god of Greek mythology,” although the focal point of his publication was to call Rojas himself a “traitor” due to his position of loyalty to the regime.
“That is exactly what will happen to you, who is betrayed in his homeland and helps those who have ruined it for so many years and still do. The reward that Ephialtes was promised for the betrayal he never saw, despite doing it. Because none of those defending today will see your reward, ”Descemer said.
Likewise, he stressed that he had to leave Cuba a long time ago, forced by the dictatorship defended by the duo leader Buena Fe. “But I carry my country with me and so today I raise my voice for those who stayed and those who left,” he said.
Hours earlier, Israel had dedicated a post to Bueno accusing Descemer of using the figure of the late troubadour Santiago Feliú to promote an attack against him.
“I have known very little of Santiago Feliú personally. But I admired him and I admire him as the great artist and Guevarian that he was and is. When we met he was really nice to me which I cherish. You lack the confidence that Santiago has placed in your life to instigate an anemic and sterile attack against me for fun. Do you really believe, Descemer, what must make me jealous? Please teacher… ”, declared Israel.
In this publication, the Cuban troubadour ended with the phrase in which he clearly describes Descemer as a ‘traitor’.
“If your former colleagues are now your enemies and your former enemies, they see you crawling, begging for attention, truces and agreements… everyone (right or left) looks at you and sees only one Ephialtes from Thessaly. See you soon ”, he concluded.
