Gente de Zona Calls for Freedom in Cuba During Lively Miami Concert

Gente de Zona wrapped up 2024 with an electrifying concert in Miami, not only getting the crowd dancing to their hits but also taking the opportunity to deliver a powerful political message. Alexander Delgado, the leader of the renowned Cuban duo, kicked off the event with a passionate plea for freedom in Cuba, shouting, "Down with the dictatorship!" and sarcastically adding, "Let's see if this makes the news," seemingly referencing the recent concert by Bebeshito in Miami, which was covered by Cuban television.

His statement was met with a resounding ovation from the audience, emphasizing the group's critical stance against the Cuban regime. This gesture was part of an emotionally charged night, during which Gente de Zona shared the stage with the legendary singer Marc Anthony. Together, they performed "La Gozadera," sending the crowd into a frenzy and marking the year's end with lively Latin rhythms and a clear message of freedom.

This call for liberty has not gone unnoticed among Cubans on social media, who have been discussing the moment across various platforms. One such platform, Un Martí To Durako, shared a video of the event.

Comments from users included, "This is a jab at Bebeshito," "The greats are great. Patria y Vida! My Cuba, I long to see you free," "Now he can shout and do whatever he wants; he managed to get his entire family out of Cuba because he once praised his president," "It shows he doesn't have family in Cuba anymore. It's a process. The time will come for the rest too. He didn't do it at first either. Time will tell! Blessings to Alex for supporting the cause, but I don't attack those who don't. Happy New Year," "Let me call my mom for a bit to see if the dictatorship in Cuba is over after that," "They truly represent me. I'd gladly pay for their ticket even in Alaska," and "But now I wonder, were they at Bebeshito's concert? Why didn't they shout Patria y Vida?"
