He was canceled, as Israel himself admitted, with a face of self -pity, before the journalist Mariana Camejo, who launched the right questions to allow him to ask him the contrite, daring at times, but without recognizing who are the true responsible for the ruin of this country.
HAVANA.- The interview of the singer -songwriter Made in Minint, Israel Rojaswith the middle the young Cuba, has caused almost as much controversy as her statements in the framework of the protests of July 11, 2021, when she took off the mask and reaffirmed her position on the side of the sticks, one block from where the paramilitaries of the ICRT threw a group of peaceful young people to a truck that would lead them to their respective interrogations with the security of the state. Four years have passed and in good faith people remember, above any album, song or video clip, the face of the red agent before the television cameras offering their support to Miguel Díaz-Canel, who had just given the combat order; That is, to suppress by all the media the thousands of citizens who took to the streets, in the middle of the pandemic, crying out freedom, food and medicines.
While the dictatorship filled the prisons of political prisoners and accused the protesters of being paid for imperialism, Israel defended itself from criticism by calling their followers abnormal because, according to him, none had understood the message of their songs. And it is that the red agent never clarified that his letters of disagreement and rebellion were not applicable to a change of system in Cuba. His songs did not point to national circumstances, but to those of any other country, for example, Norway, with its streets full of potholes, where the fault that this is manga per shoulder does not have anyone, and whose leaders are very aware of what happens in foreign patio, but they never care about what happens under their own noses.
If someone believed that “Catalejo”, “The Duende del Bache”, “La Guilt”, or “La Zanja” referred to Cuba, they misunderstood, therefore, they are abnormal. He said it as is, and his words traveled, in a straight line, to the love of his audience. Okay, good faith was left alone. The regime, in its infinite generosity, was responsible for much of its former followers to emigrate, putting land, sea and memory involved. Those who stayed inside Cuba stopped listening to their music and going to their concerts. He was canceled, as Israel himself admitted, with a face of self -pity, before the journalist Mariana Camejo, who launched the right questions to allow him to ask him the contrite, daring at times, but without recognizing who are the true responsible for the ruin of this country.
Attached to the well -learned libretto, he blamed the United States again and minimize the errors of the Cuban regime, whose balance in finance only knows those who mediate at the top of power. With them the red agent does not get into, because from those summits their privileges descend and those of Joel, which has been the second voice to silence. Israel is still the same scoundrel, but now it is Escachao. Attempts to conquer public in Central America did not bear fruit. After all, and badly that despite those who continue to cry the betrayal of the Guantanamero, the work of good faith is mediocre, like every pseudoesia.
They were lucky to appear, in the early 2000s, in a musical panorama in the process of reggaetonization, dominated by Candyman and Nightmare. And while in the country of the blind, the one -eyedness is king, good faith was a glaucoma, whose low peripheral vision definitely collapsed under the weight of popularity. They chose to look up and not to the sides, so that the outbreak of July 2021 surprised them with their only eye put in the prebendas and not in how much the Cuban people suffered, which before the pandemic slept on the outskirts of the Karl Marx Theater for buying tickets for their concerts.
Now, when it does not fit anywhere, Israel Lloriquea. The strategy of disappearing for a time of the Cuban scenarios so that people would refresh and forget their statements, did not result. In the interview with the young Cuba, he spoke of Amnesty for political prisoners, omitting the fact that they had never had to go to prison. Four years have passed during which the chief singer -songwriter traveled from here to there, trying to resurrect the body in good faith, living in freedom, comfort and Manichaeism. While he put a distance from the national drama, hundreds of families cried without comfort the absence of their loved ones, they went hungry because the main provider of the home was locked up by the regime he defends, and deprived themselves of almost everything to gather a lean overpowering to bring to prison the day of the visit.
You have to have a hole in the middle of the chest to be complained about the deserved cancellation, as if their lament could move the people who have canceled Silvio Rodríguez. If a founder of the new trova, which was the musical gandinga of the Revolution, has to endure the contempt of millions, what can expect an upstart that is not a poet or revolutionary, or owner of anything respectable? Because comrade Israel can have many material goods, but the most valuable possession of a man is his word, and for a singer -songwriter his word is also his songs.
After his talk with the young Cuba, the Red agent has only achieved another avalanche of criticism by a people who have taken everything, but he still reserves the right to do justice as they can against those who have chosen the oppressor side. So neither forgiveness, nor forget, Llorona. To sing in the central committee, in the ITM or in the Classroom of Lis Cuesta.
