Awkward moment: The power goes out in the middle of an interview with Annie Garcés on Cuban television.

Annie Garcés could only manage to say, "We are, right?"


The decline of Cuban television became evident this Monday when, in the middle of an interview with singer Annie Garcés, the one from the 62 thousand millennia, part of the stage lights went out, leaving the two guests and the host perplexed.

"We are, right?" Garcés managed to say when he was left in the dark, not knowing whether he should keep talking or not. The incident occurred during the show Real Time.

In the background, the voice, presumably that of the coordinator, was heard saying, "Everyone here," indicating that the live broadcast was continuing.

On his part, the host tried to cover up the "gap" in the conversation, prompting the regime-supporting singer to continue speaking.

At the moment the lights went out, Garcés, who in the past earned a nomination as a deputy after the controversial theme "Fatherland or Death for Life," was talking about a musical piece she composed and dedicated to the Casa Editora Abril publishing house, which celebrated its 45th anniversary this Monday.

The other guest was Aracelis Bedevia, director of Pionero Magazine, who was also left perplexed when the lights went out.

Last May, during a live broadcast from the central studios of Canal Caribe, where the morning show Buenos Días is produced, the transmission was affected by leaked audio.

The host of the news program introduced the live link with journalist Bernardo Espinosa, who was at the Ministry of Energy and Mines, due to the serious energy situation the country is facing, and when Espinosa greets, filtered words are heard.

"Don't give me that ****ty bread anymore," a whispering voice can be heard saying. Nevertheless, the broadcast continued without any interruptions.

Months earlier, in February, a cockroach casually roamed around the set where the prime-time broadcast of the Cuban Television News was being aired live.

The fearless woman appeared just as Master Argelio Fernández, Director of Hydrology at the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources, was giving an update on the hydrometeorological situation of the country.

What do you think?
