Spanish Singer
Describes US blockade of Cuba as Torture
HAVANA, Cuba, Mar
8 (acn) Spanish singer Miguel Bosé described this Monday the US
economic, financial, and commercial blockade against Cuba as
“torture”, during the presentation
of “Cardio”, his latest album.

According to Prensa Latina news agency, Bosé said
that although the government of Barack Obama denies using torture,
the almost-50-year-old-policy to the Caribbean island classifies as
such punishment.
At a crowded press conference, Bose referred, among other things,
the success of the concert Peace Without Borders, held in Havana
last September, led by Colombian rocker Juanes and of which he was
one the main promoters.
Recalling the concert at the Revolution Square in Havana, the
Spanish singer said it had generated many threats, referring to
intimidation from a minority of the Cuban community in Miami.
These events are recorded in “Jurame” (Swear to me), one of the
themes of Cardio, gestated weeks before the September 20, 2009 and
that he confessed, is a portrait of the loyalty in which Juanes and
himself found the strength to resist those pressures.
