It’s only rock-n-roll (and salsa and reggeton and hip-hop and…) but I like it, yes I do

If you weren’t one of the somewhere between several hundred thousand and 1.15 million who managed to get into Havana’s Plaza de la Revolucion last Sunday for the “Paz Sin Fronteras” concert,  Erwin at Our Latin America has posted a rebroadcast from Yahoo en Español.

Alex Alvarez at Guanabee tries to read some political message into the whole thing (or at least into the wish for a “Cuba libre” … which doesn’t mean one run by old geezers from Miami).  Alex wasn’t the only one searching for great meaning:

Sunday’s “peace concert” headlined by Colombian singer Juanes in Havana elicited death threats to the Latin Grammy-award winner, Miami rallies where protesters smashed his CDs, international arguments over politics and music in Cuba, and even a comment from President Obama.

Geeze, it was a concert, and a long one at that… about six hours.  Lots of good acts and the whole point was to get Latin Americas to get along with each other… which they did mostly.

If you want political, you should have been listening to Radio Globo in Tegucigalpa.  Somebody has been working overtime in the studio… I don’t think I’d ever heard a reggaton version of “Marcha con esparanza  Zelaya” before… or any other version… until now.  Nothing like a revolution you can dance to.

CNN and Miguel Bose said there were over a million people here... but Metro Havana is only 2.7 million. Still, a lot more than turned out for the Teabagging party in Washington. Better entertainment.

Hey, how'd those Mexicans get in there?
