The conscience of human rights awakens in the face of inequality and the existence of privileges, and the protesting rapper and member of theSan Isidro Movement (MSI), Eliecer Márquez Duany, alias The Funky, he knows.

That is why this Monday he asked on social networks why the Cuban regime offers different treatment to artists who have made songs and have expressed themselves against the regime, who, however, are allowed by the authorities of the dictatorship to travel to Cuba. .

He, who is the winner of two Latin Grammys forHomeland and Life, who was repressed in Cuba for his links with the MSI, who was forced into exile and who now lives in exile in the United States... he is not allowed to return to his country.

Neither do other Cuban artists and activists such asWilly Chirino, Arturo Sandoval OAnamely Ramos. So, for example, why can singers likeLenier Mesa OThe Micha?

Both have sung “rebellious music and at some point they have said Díaz-Canel singao, but nevertheless they are received on the prison island with great fanfare.” Although he does not mention them directly, El Funky's reflection points to them and others who, likeAna de Armas, lend themselves to “active measures” of State Security.

“I would like those artists who today are creating this mental distortion, this detour from the path to freedom, that all of them tell us HOW and WHO allows them to enter Cuba, an island completely controlled by the dictatorial regime,” said the rapper in his Instagram account.

Without hesitating to call them “rams” (emoji through), the author ofThe Festival of the sing@%$ and “brother” of the imprisoned rapperMaykel Osorbo The injustice represented by the privileges of some artists over others was questioned, as well as the immorality involved in normalizing them.

“We need to know so that Willy Chirino, Arturo Sandoval, Anamelys Ramos, Omara Ruiz Urquiola and many others like myself are also allowed entry in the same way, that I am prohibited from entering my country, where I was born,” he said. The Funky. “We simply want to know why some are allowed entry, and others are not.”

“I'm going to Cuba like everyone else”, the reggaeton player stated in JulyMichael Fernando Sierra Miranda, alias El Micha, and in September he fulfilled it. Except that "everyone" is not real, as attested by the testimonies of thousands of Cubans to whom the totalitarian regime denied and denies the right to return to their homeland.

"I went 24 hours to see my grandfather who is in poor health.. I have nothing to do with the Cuban festival, I have nothing to do with that event, nor was I there," said Lenier Mesa at the end of August, after images of his stay in Cuba during the festival were leaked.Santa Maria Music Fest, an event organized in collaboration with theGrupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA), the core of economic power of the dictatorship.
