The song&#8217;s lyrics strongly defend Cuban artists who are being censored and beaten for disagreeing with the regime&#8217;s opinion. It also offers a rare critique of the Cuban government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The song is a symbolic call-to-arms to Cubans everywhere\u2014to let go of their fear of speaking the truth and hone in on their power.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24817\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24817\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-24817\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patria-y-Vida.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24817\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ALEXANDER ONTIVEROS \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artists include Grammy Award winner Descemer Bueno, rapper Yotuel Romero from the group Orishas, Randy Malcom and Alexander Delgado from the reggaeton duo Gente de Zona, and island-based dissident rappers Maykel Osorbo and El Funky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patria y Vida<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has spread like wildfire since its release. While the government attempts to block the song on the island, where the Internet has been extremely restricted in Cuba since 2009, residents can still listen to it through flash drives at home or illegally on their cellphones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After ultimately failing to censor the song, the Cuban state-run media launched a campaign to combat its message and discredit its authors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The official newspaper of the Communist Party, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granma<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, dedicated multiple front-page spreads to it. The Cuban news agency called the song an \u201cannexation vomit.\u201d Pro-government musicians and artists issued statements and signed letters accusing its authors of being \u201cmercenaries,\u201d \u201cbuffoons\u201d and \u201ctraitors.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Romero stated that his desire to step into the political arena came after talking to Cuban friends and watching videos on social media of the long lines to buy food, the declining situation in hospitals, the repression against dissidents and the human right abuses in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Romero, Bueno and Gente de Zona, the song represents a turning point in their careers. In an interview with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Gente de Zona said that they used to make music for people to party to but now they want to make music for the people they care about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The music video has more than three million views on Youtube. It has even caught the attention of the European Union: they hosted a forum last week that allowed activists and artists to speak on the injustices and human rights violations taking place on the island. The EU said they would open an investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like in the 90s, Cuba is in a horrible economic crisis. Aid from Venezuela\u2014Cuba\u2019s biggest contributor since the fall of the Soviet Union\u2014has decreased substantially after their economy plummeted under Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2019s regime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, tighter U.S. sanctions under former President Donald Trump and the COVID-19 pandemic have caused widespread shortages similar to those that happened during El Periodo Especial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But unlike thirty years ago, many\u2014artists, musicians, academics, activists and journalists\u2014are no longer afraid to challenge their oppressors. I hope this is the momentum our generation of Cubans and Cuban-Americans need to make a change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can\u2019t keep waiting.
