The music producer Asdrúbal Reyna, known in Santiago de Cuba for his collaboration with various street artists under the label "Guetto Music," was arrested this Thursday and taken to the Santiago police unit known as La Motorizada due to his involvement in the production of the song "Súbelo Mayeta."
However, independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta alerted on Facebook this Thursday that the reasons for his arrest were unknown, as well as the whereabouts of the young man.
Reyna, 33 years old, is the producer of the controversial song "Súbelo Mayeta," composed by Yunier González, known as Lico Wayne, and Geordanis Fernández Traba, alias Tino Mán.
Both artists were summoned and detained the day before, in addition to being threatened with more serious repercussions if they did not remove the topic from social media and cancel the filming of the music video.
Mayeta reported that the musicians removed the song from social media due to the pressure they were subjected to.
The song "Súbelo Mayeta" was dedicated to the communicator Yosmany Mayeta Labrada in recognition of his work denouncing the regime's abuses against the people of Santiago.
However, following the threats, Lico Wayne and Tino Mán chose to cut off communication with him, Mayeta noted.
"We must turn this into a statement to denounce all the wrongs happening in Santiago de Cuba. By merely putting this phrase out there, we know we cannot remain silent about any event that deserves to be reported," the communicator noted.
