“This is” a prize for the freedom of Cuba, “Eliécer Márquez Duany later told Radio Martí from Las Vegas” El Funky “, one of the interpreters of the popular song, one of whose stanzas was recited by the president of Uruguay, Luis Lacalle Pou, to the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, at a Latin American summit.
Díaz-Canel responded by criticizing “the bad taste in music” of the Uruguayan president and affirming that the “song is totally a lie and a construction among some artists against the Cuban revolution.”
Homeland and life is a song that “It became the property of the people, and we do not command there, this award is for the people, for those 11 million inhabitants who are there, in the prison of Cuba, under the Castro regime”, he stressed.

“El Osorbo” was able to send a message through a telephone conversation with the activist and art historian Carolina Barrero, who recorded and broadcast the audio.

“That award belongs to the people, who made the song great”added. (I)
