“The Cuban government calls Yotuel “jinetero” because he was married to me and was Spanish. He has already insulted him by calling him a “black boy with shoe polish.” This does not define Yotuel, the rulers of the Cuban government. This defines you that they have nothing more to say about a man who only made music, art and representation for his people, “Luengo wrote on his Instagram profile.
The actress also assured that, although she likes to lead a quiet life with her family and dedicate herself to her career, “she does not allow insult to family or injustice” and “they found the wrong person because I am not afraid of them. “

“And look how wonderful and wonderful the TRUTH is that not only did they share the song from the European Parliament, but that all the media around the world, music lists and Cuban tears support the words of @yotuel @gentedezona @ descemerbueno. I would like to know what you support them, “he said.
