Cuba concert to counter critics draws sparse crowd |
|
HAVANA — A surprisingly small crowd sweated and sang along to performances by Cuban rock, folk and salsa stars Saturday, at what the communist government billed as a politically important "concert for the homeland." Organizers had said the show would be headlined by Cuba's most famous folk singer, Silvio Rodriguez. But instead the pro-Castro government activist made fans wait for an hour in unrelenting afternoon sun before he took the stage, read a letter defending the single-party communist system — and then left without performing.

Apparently he has gotten the memo that Cuba is a Democracy. lol.
