Singer Juanes Getting Threats Over Cuba Concert

[Anisleydeicicu2]

the only 'real' threat for Juanes... is loosing completly the only few neurons... he probably has... he has too little brain than loosing the only healthy ones.. would be terrible for his singing career.

[MsBuffy100]

i dont understand why the US cant just take in all these unfortunate people, i cant believe Castro can be so evil...us people in the US take our freedom of speech and rights forgranted.. god bless all the cubans over there and hopefully Barack Obama can help them someday soon =/

[aguilanegradetepito]

Cuban exiles in Miami are expecting to get rid of Castro control remote. They want the CIA to do the dirty work for them, without doing any real sacrifices themselves. Without any initiative from these Cuban dinosaurs, it's no wonder that Castro is still going around as usual, when the rest of the Iron Curtain has collapsed.

[Chiquiwiki]

Como Juanes tuvo los pantalones bien puestos de decirlo en Cuba no Miami "Cuba Libre", "Cuba Libre". Libre de Los Castros y de todos en el exilio, como tu Ninoshka, que viven de el sufriento y la explotacion de la situacion Cubana. Paz, libertad...

[CubanExile]

Jaunes has to pay to go to Cuba.  lol.

[StinkenderKubaner]

@CubanExile

and for the travel permit haha

[djmack8]

Those right wing cubans are real tough over here. They all ran out of cuba with their tails between their legs. If they wanted to get rid of fidel they should have stayed and fought like real men. Look what those Iranians did when their election was stolen. They went to the street and fought and many even died. They didn't win that time but just the other day they hit the streets again. They refuse to stay quiet and some day they will see change. Cubans could use some of their bravery

[cristy09]

"ran out of Cuba with their tails between their legs" You have no idea what you're talking about. As the daughter of Cuban exiles I can tell you that many did fight back. So many innocents died at the hands of Castro and Che for simply speaking in opposition of the revolution. Look up "el Paredon." Americans here are clueless when in it comes to Cuban history because they naively fall for the propaganda that romanticizes the revolution.

[djmack8]

I know all about el paredon and che's atrocities. I don't support castro or che but it's just a fact that not alot of cubans fought back. fidel took over the island with just a rag tag army that floated over on the granma. Then during the mariel they all fled and then again during the rafter crisis. If the cubans on the island won't rise up why do you exiles expect us to go over there and do the dirty work you all should have done when you lived there? If cubans want freedom they need to fight

[cristy09]

How can they be expected to fight? They've been oppressed and unarmed for over 50 years. They have nothing.

[yaiy55]

FUck ALL WHO ARE AGAINST LETTING JUANES GO TO CUBA! he's a great singer he should be able to do what ever he wants and to all you who dont want cuba to have some freedom n to be in peace with this country fuck off !

IN PEACE !ill pray every night that this world changes and people learn to stop HATE n give some love and be happy ! LET PEACE SHINE !

[AndrewMann552]

No se quien es mas totalitario, Fidel o los exiliados. No quieren que un artista cante donde quiera, se ponen a qumar sus CDs como Nazis. Arriba Juanes! Promueve la internacionalidad hermano!

[6400az]

Juanes y cualquier otro pude ir a Cuba y a donde les de las gana. Haora, hagan me el favor. No me vengan diciendo que es por la paz..... POR FAVOR!! Haorra tu energia.

Asi que vas a cantar por la paz donde no hay libertad??Tiene tanto sentido como dar misa en una carcel.

[arpamiguel]

viva juanes, adelante, el mundo te apoya !!! viva la paz!!!!

[SuperTruthfully]

Pobre Juanes que recibe amenazas a traves de "twitter". Pobre pueblo cubano que tiene mas de 50 annos amenazado y amordazado. Esos si corren peligro de perder sus vidas. Payaso, a quien quieres enganar con esa carita de mosca muerta que pusiste declarando en Madrid.

[cparedesesquivel]

Suerte Juanes! Fuerza

[edvasquez1966]

Adelante Juanes no pares, que le hace que la mafia gusana te censure en los premios MTV Latinos o otros controlled awards tu eres grande. Los Latinos libres de pensamientos te apoyamos.

[guajiracubana]

edvasquez:Entonces,los cubanos de la

isla no lo apoyan,porque a ellos no los

dejan pensar "libremente".

guajiracubana

[sunriseinhavana]

Communista!!!

[superjuandiego]

Juanes tienes que hacer ese concierto..

[bipbip2002]

Porque no dicen nada los cubanos con Nicaragua, Bolivia, Venezuela,...adelante Juanes me encanta tu conviccion de lo que quieres hacer, son puros celos de aquellos que no pueden ir a cuba

[guajiracubana]

bipbip2002: Estas muy desinformado.

Nosotros sí decimos de esos paises y

dejame aclararte que los que salimos de

Cuba siendo "exiliados" no visitamos la isla.Nosotros NO SOMOS inmigrantes como los que vienen ahora.Nosotros nos

fuimos por convicciones de ideas. Los de ahora vienen por "necesidad de llenar

la barriga".Esa es la diferencia.

guajirqacubana

[sedraopamp]

Juanes ahora debe tener cuidado por la gente extremista de Miami, le vayan a hacer daño. Yo digo algo por que no critica a Madonna cuando hace giras en Rusia? como se sabe Rusia y USA son antagonicos. La musica no es politica por favor.

[guajiracubana]

sedraopamp: Nosotros "los extremistas"

somos gente pacificas que no acostum-

bramos a matar gente.Eso lo hacen los

perros comunistas.¿Te enteras?

guajiracubana

[dioysan]

ridículos, no esun asunto político ni nada que se le parezca, es música para gente que no tiene la oportunidad de disfrutarla, ignorantes, al menos el que tiene la oportunidad que lo haga con gente menos favorecida, adelante juanes te amamos y se que por cantar allá no eres ni cinco comunista porque eres colombiano y como tal sabes las atrocidades del dizque comunismo, adelante pues

[jorvillatin]

JUANES va a cantar a Cuba porque simplemente ahi vive tanta gente que no ha podido tener la oportunidad de presenciar y disfrutar a plena libertad a un cantante extranjero que no sea comunista. Y para lastima de tanto idiota que lo critica y para tantos Cubanos que durante tantos anos han emigrado y no pueden dar una solucion en contra de esos miserables Comunistas, lo mejor es quedarse callados, !cobardes! J. V.

[robertdjwizard]

SO!!! Michael jackson can go to Cuba but Juanes can't.

I got the video when Michael jackson went to Cuba.

That's not OK.

[twincesar]

los unicos q estan en contra son los mas de 40 anos de viejos o los mafiosos

[cesar2333]

totalmente correcto tu comentario.

[mmoscosso]

Vamos ahí Juan Esteban no nos decepciones hermano, Arriba Colombia Papá, Arriba Cuba, Paz, Libertad, Entendimiento, y si alguien en EU quiere desgarrarse las venas por los presos de Cuba que se desgarre primero por los presos de Guantanamo, PAZ Y LIBERTAD pa todos, en Cuba y en Guantanamo

[guitarcussion]

"La musica viene del pueblo y regresa a el....",dejen a los cubanos solucionar su problema y su propia historia desde adentro,para eso tienen sus propios artistas ,no dejen a un entrometido tratar de "arreglar" nada,ese tipo lo ke kiere es hacerse fama con el dolor de un pueblo

[nema1999]

Sometimes I ask my myself why the usa dosent liberate the cuban's from fidel (comunisn) I think its because cubans dont have no oil in others words they dont have shit so what do we got 0.00 towards us so that will be a bad investment fuck cuba and all there bullshit politics..LOL

[nema1999]

mugre juanes no hagas ese concierto es una estupides recuerda que los cubanos que viven en cube no compran tus mugres cds. Dedicate ha cantar y no ha ser labor de la madre theresa Pendejo

[cesar2333]

Esto es el colmo!!!!

[Abigailsophia]

pero que pendejada es esto, que estupidez, si asi piensan todos los cubanos, ahora nos damos cuenta porque no se arreglan las cosas, tienen mierda en la cabeza, no saben distinguir entre arte y politica, que barbaridad, precisamente porque no tienen como comprar un cd de juanes el cantara para ellos. Caramba que insensatez.

[cesar2333]

No asi no piensan todos los cubanos solamente los gusanos en la gusanera piensan asi.

[guajiracubana]

cesar2333: ¡Cómo nos envidian todos

los que nos llaman gusanos!¿Saben

por qué?Escuchen la cancion de Mari-

sela Verena de los 360 meses...Ella sí

que nos describe bien en su cancion!

guajiracubana

[cesar2333]

No para nada. Nadie los envidia, ya que son gusanos y viven en la gusanera. Eso los describe muy bien.

[guitarcussion]

Porke tiene este tipo ke ir a cantar a Cuba,eso es puramente una actitud politica con ansias de alacanzar notoriedad,anad a cantar donde no levantes polvo,Oportunista!

[cesar2333]

El cantante es libre de hacer lo que quiera compadre. Desde cuando la gusanera has a say on what can a singer do or not do. If they want to make money that way, let them be. Don't buy his music if you don't like what his doing. But don't be extremists!!!!

[Abigailsophia]

cesar completamente de acuerdo contigo.

[EstradaBank]

Props for Juanes!

Those "extremists" are nothing but a bunch of cowards that have done nothing to help Cuba and just talk talk talk. Real Cubans would support Juanes!

and by the way..I'm not fucking communist and I do not support the Cuban regime..but I support the Cuban baseball team in each WBC and I support Juanes!

Que viva Cuba!

[ElAlexxis]

The same extreme right as always, fucking fascists!

[azul7]

que ignorancia...

Juanes te apoyamos!

[AndrewMann552]

I hope Juanes doesn't let these fascist lunatics ruin the plans for the concert. They are a bunch of hypocrites, they bash Castro for censorship and then they go and send death threats to this guy just because wants to bring the Cuban people a rock concert? Cuba will decide its own future, nobody has the right to stop an artist from playing his music there. Besides, the exile community protects terrorists like Luis Posada Carriles, wanted for bombing a Cuban airliner in 1973.

[fasthondaz]

Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition (Merriam -Webster)

This sounds more like Castro and Cuba to me...not some angry individuals sending nasty grams to Juanes. I guess it just feels good for you to throw that word around huh?

[AndrewMann552]

Well the term can be applied to quite a diverse amount of countries. Some sections could apply to Israel, others to the U.S., others to Colombia, and yes, others to Cuba. I can provide you detailed scholarship and analysis for each one if you would like :) "Suppression of opposition," that sounds about right for the nasty grammers.

[fasthondaz]

I don't need you to analyze any scholarships for me; I didn't use them.

I paid for my own Masters Degree, thank you.

[AndrewMann552]

The fact that you didn't understand the context in which I used the term "scholarship" makes me seriously doubt you have a Master's Degree. Either that or you paid for one over the internet.

[fasthondaz]

I seriously doubt you have any education at all. You, sir, have a misinformation.

[fasthondaz]

I don't get what the big deal is.

[oilhammer04]

I think some Cubans are against anything that would give legitimacy to Castro. So many of their families have suffered under his Communist regime. If he were a civilian he would be executed for his crimes.

[AndrewMann552]

Most of these people are being hypocrites. If they care so much for freedom why don't they complain when he sings in Mexico, Peru, Guatemala etc., countries which according to human rights groups, have worse human rights records than Cuba?

[fasthondaz]

Thank you for clarification

[joelito101]

That is what happens to free thinkers, I say, don't let fear drive your actions. Let LOVE move your lips and power your voice. The rest will follow.

[oilhammer04]

"No ideological overtones" You can bet he is limited to not saying anything against Communism if he gets to sing in Cuba.

[elspoko]

Him being able to hold a concert in Cuba is a win itself.

[NYAAAAAAAAT]
