Cuban rapper and member of the San Isidro Movement Maykel Castillo, better known as Maykel Osorbo, urged Cubans on the island to I demand the change that Cuba needs and the dignified life that everyone deserves.

“I want to tell the Cuban on the island that San Isidro has ignited a spark, a flame, but San Isidro cannot change what people have the right to change,” he said.

The rapper, one of the hunger and thirst strikers in Damascus 955 and suffering first-hand repression and harassment of state security for several years, pointed out that the San Isidro barracks “We show that it can be done, that if people cry, the regime will tremble and it is time to demand what we should do.”

With regard to the increase in service tariffs and the basic food basket, which comes into force on January 1, Osorbo wondered what the Cuban is waiting for to claim his rights.

“And what does the Cuban expect? To give him gifts, to pay for electricity in Miami or Europe or to fill in his MLC cards? Is that really what the Cuban expects to be a parasite? “he asked the artist.

Maykel confessed that he is ashamed that his friends outside Cuba have to help him financially, when he is still young and eager to work and earn a living.

It cannot be that our families and friends need to support us. When the friend can’t, we get upset. That must stop, it is time to claim our rights, “he said.

“[El cambio] It is in us, in the Cuban people, “Maykel said, stressing that this 2021” I am still there “because” I am interested in the reality of Cuba. “
