Anna Bensi, Leoni Torres, and Dairon Gavilán joined their voices to release on Friday the official remix of "Mi Tierra", a song of faith and freedom dedicated to Cuba that is now available on all digital platforms under the Plus Media Music label.
Anna Sofía Benítez Silvente reacted with visible emotion to the premiere. "A few months ago, I told you that a very special version of 'Mi tierra' would be released. And I thank God for this opportunity. This song is for everyone: faith, hope, nostalgia, yearning. It’s a cry that you can embrace and feel as your own," she wrote on Instagram, where she also described Torres as one of her favorite Cuban artists whom she admires the most.
The young singer and activist did not hide the spiritual weight she attributes to the collaboration: "I am certain that Christ is the Savior of Cuba. I want my land to see the sun again. And I know that God will make it happen. Amen."
Leoni Torres, for his part, summed up the spirit of the project with a phrase that echoes the refrain: "Three voices united by a common desire: for our Cuba to once again see the sun, filled with God's blessing."
The composer of the song, Dairon Gavilán, described Torres's participation as a "historic" event and framed it within a message of faith and patriotism: "Seeing Leoni Torres join in singing a Christian song is an affirmation that Cuba belongs to everyone, but also that Christ loves Cuba so much that He wants to bless it abundantly."
The chorus shared by the three performers encapsulates the song's message: "I want my land to see the sun again, to break the chains, to free its pain, to seek the hope that only the Lord provides. I want my land to be filled with His love."
The original song was released on March 27, 2026, by Gavilán and Bensi, and Billboard included it among its recommendations for new Latin music on the day of its premiere. The remix, produced by Labrada Mix Room, Mikear Productions Studios, and Plus Media Music, expands on that concept with the vocal performance of Torres, one of the most internationally recognized Cuban artists.
The launch is laden with symbolism. Anna Bensi was sentenced on October 1 to two years of restricted freedom by the People's Municipal Court of East Havana, along with her mother Caridad Silvente, after recording and sharing on social media the visit of a MININT agent to their home in Alamar. The sentence was condemned as "cowardice" by the United States government.
Just days before the premiere, Anna Bensi reported a new police blockade at her building in Alamar, with undercover agents posing as nurses, street vendors, and a baker, in addition to direct threats from a State Security officer.
The release of the remix also coincided with the day after the 27th Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, held in Las Vegas, where Leoni Torres' album "Cualquiera se enamora" was competing for the award for Best Tropical Traditional Album, which ultimately went to Gilberto Santa Rosa.
