Cuban singer Leoni Torres publicly expressed his support for the youth group El Cuartico (@el4tico), a project described as a “dissident space within Cuba” that promotes political and social debate from a critical stance against the Cuban system.
In an Instagram post, Torres shared a video featuring the members of the project and wrote: “I have a tremendous admiration and respect for these young people. We should all pay more attention to them. Let's follow them on their social networks.”
In the material released by the artist, the youth demand multipartyism, free and democratic elections, respect for human rights, and social justice within the island—topics that are typically censored in official Cuban media.
The public show of support for Leoni Torres, one of the country's most respected artists, has sparked reactions on social media, where many praised the bravery of the young people involved.
