The actress Ariana Álvarez Amador made public his concerns about the salary situation of Cuban artistsas soon as the monetary unification adopted by the Cuban government in the so-called “planning task” has entered into force.
“Who tells me about artists’ salary? How much does it increase if we don’t have a fixed wage? How do I take the high prices of everything if I haven’t received my raise and they don’t talk to me about it? I have been waiting for many days! ”, The presenter and radio host also published on her Facebook account.
Salary concerns seem to extend to the entire industry of Cuban artists who receive fees for their work, both in institutions and in artistic projects promoted by individuals.
Cuban television program director and creator of the Lucas Awards, Orlando Cruzata, shared the same concern in a post, writing, “ Alfred Hitchcock has been commissioned Cuban TV for keeping all of his employees in suspense over the new salary. ”.
“This order is being delivered by the cast of Psychosis, given the increase in headquarters conditions [del ICRT]Cruzata said sarcastically in his comment.
Under the heading “That’s Why They Can’t Stand Me,” Cruzata always commented on Cuban reality. “To use nonsense, you have to have common sense. It’s what allows you to be in the labyrinth of nonsense without losing that cohesion of the absurd, but ultimately cohesion, ”he said in another of his post.
The lack of information on how and how much artists are going to pay in the island’s new economic reality has led to a deluge of comments on actress Álvarez Amador’s post, many of which have been written by colleagues in the industry.
Taimi Escobar, program director, announcer and sound producer at Radio Metropolitana, the actress replied, “Don’t touch that key, because the radio is hot with the performers … The news goes as always good … the rest to fuck .. It’s a maze to count to know how much we’re going to win ”.
The humorist El Habanero confirmed the lack of information among those affected: “Likewise. Nobody talks about it.” While the music Ianna Machado said, “I’m standing with your question. What is happening to us? Almas in bad luck”. Likewise, the director Raúl de la Rosa agreed: “We wait and no one clarifies anything. And they talk about all kinds of workers except us.”
For the TV producer on Canal Educativo 2, Alexeys Moras Mestril, the wage issue is “a candle. Now it is for working hours. Cloth for cutting. Singer Niurka Reyes for her part confessed her concerns on the matter: “They need to find a good alternative, taking into account the enormous costs we have to incur to do our work … artists … I think they therefore ‘works’ to give us an answer … But they can’t delay it any longer “
“This is the sector, especially in the landscape sector, where it will be more difficult to apply that just principle of salary derived from work … because no products are generated, nor can real art action be measured in time or financial contribution “reflected the painter Manuel López Oliva.
Finally, Loidis Taboada, a musician by trade, shared his comments on Álvarez’s post: “This is how we all are. During a meeting with the musicians of our company, everyone talked about everything in terms of individual patriotic spirituality … No one spoke about livelihood … Only one asked what will happen with the changes for next year and THE COMPANION replied ‘don’t worry worries my friend, a solution will be sought for the artists … here we wait ”.
