Mexico City, Mexico.- “Cuba Primero” song where the Goddess and Lenier collaborate for the first time will be released this Sunday, at 6:00 p.m., through the YouTube channel Sing it TV.
“The prelude to the event will be the first red carpet in homage to the Cuban opposition,” part of the event’s organizing team told Cubanet. Renowned personalities from Cuban exile are expected to be present on the carpet, as well as journalists from the island based in Miami.
On April 12, the artists and the director of the video previewed some fragments of the audiovisual. In the images, in addition to the interpreters, Cuban activists, artists and former political prisoners appear dressed in white, running along the beach and at times with bloody clothes.
The audiovisual, directed by Armando Labrador (manager of the Goddess), who also wrote the song, recreates different moments that marked national history such as Operation Peter Pan, the repression, the political prisoners, the collapse of the Tug March 13 and the lives lost in the sea that separates the island from Florida.
So far the lyrics of the song have not been published, however CubaNet was present during the filming of the video and interviewed several of those involved. What does “Cuba First” say?
“It is an opportunity to defend our land and defend our people,” Lenier Mesa commented exclusively.
“The message of the song is dedicated to all the people who have not spoken, who have not denounced the repression and all the bad things that are happening in our country.” The theme specifically calls on artists and opinion leaders not to wait any longer and asks them: “Are you going to keep quiet, artist, you who have a voice?”
Among the Cubans invited to participate in the audiovisual were former political prisoners Jorge Luis García Pérez, known as “Antúnez”, Esteban Rodríguez and Thais Mailén Franco. Also present were Ramón Saúl Sánchez, President of the Democracy Movement, comedian Andy Vázquez and Kiele Cabrerathe young woman who launched herself in 2021 at the West Palm Beach stadium during a match in the Americas Pre-Olympic Tournament.
