“I could enjoy for television of the Concert for the Peace and I found a spectacular thing. There were really moments in which many styles were conjugated with oneself purpose and it is that the peace is really a phenomenon that all human being desires because he gives the possibility to build, of being projected, of living and of being better.

“It is necessary to see with what courage all those artists-and is what we have to thank the Cubans - they took the step, jumped the fence, like we say us, to come to Cuba to see the Cuban reality and to feel it that is very important.

Landscape of peace after the battle

Cuba sang with Juanes, Juanes sang with Cuba. Hurt to who hurts him, like told to open heart Juan Formell, the founder and director of The Van Van. A million people, sheathed with white garments in their majority, celebrated a beautiful invitation for the peace in the Square of the Revolution José Martí, along more than five hours of a burning Sunday, in which the impressed artists summoned by the Colombian singer-author demonstrated an ethical height and a sensibility human copy.

Since the Puerto Rican Olga Tañón put to point her merenguer fire, until The Van Van set on fire the atmosphere with their efusive and integral son, each one of the participants contributed her reasons sung in a veiled unforgettable.

The Second Concert of Peace without Frontiers surpassed its expectations. From early hours of the morning of Sunday, a town river flushed toward the Square of the Revolution José Martí.

Olga invited students of the conservatory Amadeo Roldán, the Spanish Luis Eduardo Aute and Victor Manuel bequeathed his indispensable and lucid songs, the brother Danny Rivera inflamed the heart with the eternal Madrigal; the Italian Jovanotti vibrated as him alone he knows how to make with the force of the rhythm, Miguel Bosé was mated with Carlos Varela to demolish prejudices—he said that was "the dream of the peace, of the concord, of spreading a hand, of the dialogue, of the fraternity, of the love"—, Cuckoo Diamond and Yerbabuena traded a pact rumber with Yoruba Andabo and Oguere, and finally we met the Ecuadorian Juan Fernando Velascosensible junglest line. .

The multitudinary auditory foresaw the aura of the songs unmissed of Amaury ahead of time Pérez, the meaning of Revoluxion in the voice of X Alfonso, the interactive textual battery of Orishas, and Silvio Rodríguez, to who Juanes knew through his songs when he didn't think at least to be a ícon. This editor knew how the Colombian, in the office of the Music's Cuban Institute, shared with his holder a couple of topics of Silvio in the moment to present the proposal.

"I cannot believe what my eyes are seeing. This is the most beautiful dream in peace and of love that I have been able to experience after my children. This is the true love and I celebrate deeply to be able to be here with you", a Juanes affirmed moved amid so much enthusiasm.

The Chan chan, of Compay Second, summarized the spirit of a day of peace, in which the poetic reason triumphed.

THE FIASCO OF THE MEDIOCRE ONES

I don't know what will say now who tried to sabotage the concert of Havana and subjected Juanes to brutal pressures so that desisted of his convoking nobleman. It was of such a magnitude the event that neither the own means that dominate could ignore to give news and still to reproduce entirely or you leave of the megaconcert. They raged this Sunday to more not to be able to, but they had to admit an objective fact: the music like message of coexistence and cordiality.

The most recalcitrant elements that dream of destroying the identity and the Cuban nation in Miami were those registered of a campaign of hate and unculture that included from the destruction of disks of the Colombian singer-author, in act that he reminded to many the barbarism of the Nazi hordes that burned books and squares in the middle of acme of the fascism, until threats of death in the purest style in the paramilitary bands that have razed Latin America.

In an intent despaired to be stolen the show they tried to arm an alternative to the concert in Havana, with something that should happen in Miami at the same hour. A certain Javier Ceriani, to name of a fantasmagoric Exile Productions, announced that they would make in the south of the Florida a contraconcert. The idea didn't pass of being a soap pomp. Neither with the millions of dollars that moved, neither the names that were managed, could arm a condemned monster ahead of time to the failure.

However, almost at the same hour, in Puerto Rico, Andy Montañez, in the Center of Fine arts Ada Mage Zayas, of Juana Díaz community, in the southeast of the Island of the Charm, led a concert of solidarity with Juanes, Cuba and the peace, to which Mapeyé contributed, Roy Brown, we are This way and other musicians.

"It is a form of counting what we live there and of sharing with the public boricua the work carried out by our cultural delegation, the most numerous and diverse so much in musical goods as generacionals that Cuba has visited" Andy said when evoking the dedication to Puerto Rico for Cubadisco 2009.

A LEARNED, OPEN AND SOLIDARY TOWN

Cuba completed conscientiously and with great height the commitments with the event promoted by Juanes: to consecrate to the peace the concert, not to manipulate a cultural expression politically, to diffuse to the world openly the image of the concert, and to promote a vote for the human understanding.
A learned, cheerful and solidary town responded to the convocation. And not for the first time. That is our sign. (Pedro de la Hoz)
