"Down with communism!": the powerful message from Gente de Zona against the Cuban dictatorship

The Cuban duo Gente de Zona shared a powerful message in favor of freedom and against communism during their concert at the Festival de las Condes, in Santiago, Chile.

Alexander Delgado, one of the members of the group, wanted to share his experience with Cuba's communist regime with the concert attendees. He said:

Randy Malcom, the group’s other member, took the opportunity to thank the Chilean people for welcoming Cubans fleeing the dictatorship. The audience applauded the artists' words, although there were also some shouts of disapproval.

Many progressives did not tolerate prestigious artists lashing out against communism. As usual, hate from the left was especially evident on social media. Some leftist Chilean representatives lashed out against the artists and asked them to stop criticizing the dictatorship

Taking a stand against dictatorship

This is not the first time that the musical group Gente de Zona has taken a stand for freedom and against dictatorship. The artists were awarded last year for the song ”Patria y Vida” which became an anthem during the protests against the Castro regime in July 2021. It also received the Latin Grammy Award for best song of the year.
