The Cuban rapper Carlitos P.U., lead singer of the group Bendita Esquizofrenia and connected to alternative rap projects, issued a message directed at the regime's police amid the economic and social crisis currently plaguing Cuba.
The artist shared a video on social media featuring a composition that blends elements of poetry and rap, in which he urges the agents to reflect on the situation faced by many citizens on the island.
"You don't have light, nor electricity, nor food. You don't have life either; you have nothing. Police. Show virtue and side with the people. Don't raise your hand against them," the text expresses.
In the composition, the musician suggests that many individuals also suffer the consequences of the crisis and urges them to consider their families before acting against other citizens.
"Think and wake up, damn it, it could be your son, it could be your father or your brother," adds the shared excerpt.
The message continues with a questioning of the political system, stating that those who are part of the institutions have also been deceived.
"You were deceived too, you were messed up too, you were lied to too, you were betrayed too," the text states.
The composition concludes with a call to action out of respect for the family, the community, and the country's history, reminding us of the agents who are part of the same society affected by the crisis.
Carlitos P.U. shared this composition in a context of increasing citizen discontent in Cuba, characterized by several consecutive days of protests and strong social unrest due to the crisis the country is facing.
