On Sunday, March 17th, multiple protests erupted across different provinces of Cuba, demanding freedom, food, electricity and an end to the longest dictatorship in the Western Hemishphere. A group of Cuban artists, mainly based in the United States, also took to their social media platforms to support the demonstrations on the island.
One of the earliest to do so was Miami-based singer La Diosa. After spontaneous marches broke out in Santiago de Cuba, where the first uprisings were reported, she went live on her Facebook profile with a message for her people.
The singer of “Por Debajo del Agua” urged Cubans on the island to hit the streets and protest against the critical energy, food, and social situation facing the country, emphasizing the need for unity.
