The official Cuban duo Buena Fe continues in the controversy, now also due to a confrontation on social networks with the singer Yotuel Romero.
The incident occurred after the co-author of Patria y Vida mocked the low attendance at the concert that the duo offered in the city of Cáceres, Spain.
Through Facebook, the group that has been characterized as a spokesperson for the Cuban regime, defended their presentation, justifying the few people present with the fact that they were in Europe and reminding Yotuel that at some point he asked them to sing with them.
“We do not have a massive audience in Spain. We have always played in modest places. It is not a dishonor. Why did you dog us so much to sing on Isla Bella? Because you knew you needed us there,” commented Israel Rojas, leader of the group.
Romero had also humiliated the public and the place where the allies of the dictatorship appeared, referring to the slum as “Manolo’s bar.”
Given this, the members of Buena Fe did not remain silent and accused Romero of “climbing on others to bill” and of having dinner with the high Cuban authorities until he decided to join the policy of “his country’s aggressor.”
However, Romero also replied and affirmed that Buena Fe harbors “hate in its heart” for the fact of serving the Cuban government.
“Just by saying ‘Manolo’s bar’ I see how much hate there is in your heart. I hope God helps you heal all that frustration,” Romero wrote.
But the confrontation did not stop there, but Buena Fe challenged Romero to continue with his musical career; while the exiled musician emphasized his success, arguing that he is “making songs that become the history of my country.”
The controversy came to a head when Romero mentioned the recent cancellations of three concerts of the duo in Spainhighlighting that unlike Castroism’s ban on the singer Celia Cruz, Spain has not banned Buena Fe from entering, but it is the people who do not want them.
Romero also took the opportunity to criticize the Cuban leader, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, for his support for Buena Fe, describing him as a dictator with bad musical taste and “bad faith” towards his people.
Buena Fe has always been a servant of the Cuban government, denying the repression and deficiencies of the Island and “cleaning up” the image of the dictatorship at the international level.
This week the duo was in the crosshairs for a confrontation he had with the Cuban exile in Barcelonawhere they were approached in a Burger King for consuming things of capitalism and defending the “communism” of Cuba.
