Actress Ariana Álvarez Amador made it public his concern about the salary situation of Cuban artists, with the entry into force of the monetary unification adopted by the Cuban government in the so-called “ordering task”.
“Who’s talking to me about artists’ salaries?” How much does it increase if we do not have fixed salaries? How can I assume everyone’s high prices if I haven’t received my salary increase and I’m not talking about it? Explain me! I’ve been waiting for many days! ”, Also published the presenter and the radio host on her Facebook account.
The concern about salaries seems to extend to the entire sector of Cuban artists who receive taxes for their work, either in institutions or in art projects promoted by individuals.

It is what allows you to be in the labyrinth of stupidity without losing that coherence of the absurd, but the coherence in the end, “he said in another post.
The lack of information about how and how much artists will pay in the new economic reality of the island caused a flood of comments on the post published by the actress Álvarez Amador, many of them written by colleagues in the sector.
Taimi Escobar, program director, announcer and sound producer at Radio Metropolitana, replied to the actress: “Don’t touch that key because the radio is hot with the artists … The news always goes well … the rest to shoot … It’s a maze to count to know how much we will earn ”.

Almas in misery.” Director Raúl de la Rosa also agreed: “We are waiting and no one is clarifying anything. And I am talking about all kinds of workers, except ours.”

Canvas to cut. “For her part, singer Niurka Reyes expressed her concern about the problem:” We have to look for a good alternative, given the enormous expenses we have to do our job … It would be ours, the artists. .. I think that’s why he “works” to give us an answer … But I can’t delay it “
“This is the sector, especially in the picturesque field, where it will be more difficult to apply that correct principle of wage derived from work … because no products are generated and no authentic artistic action can be measured in time or contribution. financial ”, reflected the painter Manuel López Oliva.
Finally, Loidis Taboada, a musician by profession, shared his comment on Álvarez’s post: “That’s how we all are. In a meeting they had with the musicians of our company, everyone talked about everything in terms of individual patriotic spirituality … Nobody talked about food … Only one asked what will happen to the changes for next year and the COMPANY replied “don’t worry, friend, we will look for a solution for artists … Here we are waiting”.
