When Venezuela has had to look to the sides in a difficult situation, those who have always been with us are the Cuban men and women. That is why I came with my songs as a way of thanking them, the artist declared in an interview to Prensa Latina.

The singer-songwriter shared his music at the 30th edition of the Longina Canta a Corona Trova Festival, recently concluded in the city of Santa Clara, an experience he considered important and which led him to choose between participating in the event or remaining in his homeland at such a complex time.

We’re a joyful, peaceful people, and we’ll defend it above all else, he added.

“We’ll continue fighting for the return of our President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores to Venezuela, because we belieae in the peace of the Venezuelan people and in our joy, which is sincere and true.”

He asserted that the Bolivarian nation is building its future with its own hands, “just as Cuba does every day.”

The young Venezuelan joined members of the Hermanos Saíz Association (AHS), students from the National School of Art, and the University of the Arts (ISA) this Tuesday to raise their voices for Venezuela and against the attack perpetrated by the US government in the early hours of January 3.
