Reactions to the ban
After the statements made this Sunday by the artist, the reactions of Cubans against censorship were immediate.
“They solve everything by prohibiting and coercing the people,” said user Yolanda Montano.
While Regina Igarza pointed out that “music exists to say what we feel” and “it is a mistake to ban it, unless they are concerned about the reaction it provokes.”

Lambo in Varadero
“Lambo en Varadero”, by Yotuel Romero with the collaboration of reggaeton singer Chris Tamayo and Emily Estefan, transmits a clear message of denunciation of the Cuban regime.
Through the lyrics of the song, he addresses the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel: “Díaz-Canel, we have to clarify it for you / the CIA does not have to pay us. / We will step on our free Cuba again. / Now they criticize us because it itches them. / They try to shut us up, but they can’t. / They want to muddy us, but they don’t even splash, / because the people love us and that hurts them”.
He also alludes to the dictatorship to which the people of Cuba have been subjected for more than 60 years: “The whole world will endeavor to define your history by those who believed they owned you. / But you’re not anyone’s, you’re yours. only yours / What with the shackle on your neck you cannot see the horizon”.
The video clip stars the singer and model América Valdés, daughter of comedian Alexis Valdés. The professional boxer Yordenis Ugás and the Spanish singer Beatriz Luengo, Yotuel’s wife, also take part.
When announcing “Lambo in Varadero” at the beginning of April, Romero referred to the musical production as “a song that is going to paralyze the whole of Cuba, from Punta de Maisí to Cabo de San Antonio.”
The front page of the theme was designed from prison by the artist and political prisoner Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara.
