Sandro Castro enjoys provoking Cubans on social media, and in recent weeks, his recurring theme has been "change in Cuba". Today, he shared a 13-second video about this topic in his Instagram stories.
This time, the grandson of Fidel Castro compared the island to the Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny by stating that “nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.” The line from the song of the Puerto Rican artist on Sandro's lips has been interpreted as a reference to the uncertainty that the country is experiencing.
The reference to this musical piece is not made lightly. It is an introspective song in which Bad Bunny speaks to his millions of fans around the world. He warns them that the future is uncertain, but he has faith in himself and will remain true to his human values above all else.
The enigmatic comment from Sandro adds to other posts rich in symbolism. Just a few days ago, in one of his regular sketches on social media, he rejected his iconic beer Cristach to order a “Cuba Libre”.
“No, I don't want Cristach, what I want is a Cuba Libre, brother,” he said with a serious expression in a bar, while the bartender explained that they didn't have Coca-Cola to make it.
"When you have Coca-Cola, let me know, because right now that's my favorite drink," he insisted. As he left the place, he added, "Better times will come, sir."
His words, steeped in irony and ambiguity, fuel speculation about whether they are merely media provocations or hints at the profound changes that many Cubans yearn for.
