Cuban rapper and member of the San Isidro Maykel Castillo Movement, better known as Maykel Osorbo, Cubans on the island urged demand the change Cuba needs and the dignified life everyone deserves.

“I want to let the Cubans on the island know that San Isidro has lit a spark, a flame, but San Isidro cannot change what people have the right to change,” he said.

The rapper, one of the hunger and thirst strikers of Damas 955 and who has suffered in his own flesh for several years from the oppression and intimidation of state security, emphasized that the San Isidro barracks “We show that it is possible, that when people cry, the regime trembles and it is time to claim what we should do.

As for the increase in service rates and the basic food basket that will take effect January 1, Osorbo wondered what Cubans are waiting for to assert their rights.

And what does the Cuban expect? That they give him things as a present, that they pay him electricity from Miami or Europe or that they have his cards filled in at MLC? Is that really what the Cuban expects to be a parasite? “asked the artist.

Maykel confessed that he is embarrassed that friends outside of Cuba have to help him financially, while he is still a young man eager to work and earn a living.

It cannot be that our families and our friends have to support us. Then if the friend can’t do it, we get upset. That has to stop, it is time to claim our rights, ”he said.

“[El cambio] It’s in us, in the Cuban people, “Maykel said, emphasizing that in 2021” I’m still in my place “because” I’m interested in the reality of Cuba. “
