As Cuba sinks deeper and deeper into an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, marked by food shortages, the collapse of the health system and political repression, some Cuban artists have chosen to raise their voices and denounce what is happening on the island.
However, others prefer to immerse themselves in the comfort of their international successes, completely ignoring the difficult reality that their country is going through.
This is the case of Cimafunk, who, unlike voices like Haydée Milanés, has chosen to live in a bubble of alienation, focused solely on his personal interests.
In a recent Instagram post, Haydée Milanés launched a harsh criticism of the situation in Cuba, describing the total collapse of public services and the lack of medical care that is costing the lives of many Cubans. He made reference to growing social inequality and the abandonment of citizens by an unaccountable regime. Milanés does not hesitate to denounce the Cuban reality and demand change, with a clear and brave message that reflects his deep commitment to his country.
Cimafunk, for his part, seems to be in another world. In his most recent publication, far from echoing the serious situation on the island, he limits himself to celebrating his success at a concert in New York, surrounded by other artists and talking about the “enjoyment” they experienced.
There is not a single mention of Cuba, not a word of support for its people, nor a criticism of the regime. Are you aware of what is happening in your country? Or have you simply decided to ignore it because it is not in your interest$e$?
This silence is not only disappointing, but also outrageous. Cimafunk, who has benefited from the pride of being a Cuban artist, now seems more concerned with his international career than with the suffering of his own people.
By staying on the sidelines, he is betraying those who follow him from Cuba, who live an increasingly desperate reality. You cannot celebrate personal success when your country is falling apart, when thousands of Cubans go to bed without eating or are imprisoned for expressing their opinion.
In times of crisis, public figures have a moral responsibility. Cimafunk has decided to ignore that responsibility, demonstrating that his commitment is not to the Cuban people, but to his pocket. Apparently, the only language he understands is that of money, and as long as he can continue accumulating successes outside of Cuba, he prefers to look the other way.
