After a year in detention, Cuban dissident artists Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara and Maykel ‘Osorbo’ Castillo were sentenced to five and nine years in prison, respectively. Many organizations criticized this trial behind closed doors. On the Turkish side, other musicians are struggling to keep getting on stage. The pressure has increased in recent months against some artists for considering that they promote “immorality” by singing in a regional language.
In this edition of Culture, we also talk about the play ‘1984’ that was repeated in kyiv for the first time since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
Our correspondent Natalia Ruiz spoke in Switzerland with the Chilean visual artist Iván Navarro and told us more about his latest work and his reflections on these two years of pandemic.
We end this program with the premiere of two unexpected collaborative songs: the remix of the song ‘Dançarinha’ by the Brazilian DJ and producer Pedro Sampaio, with MC Pedrinho, Anitta, Nicky Jam and Dadju; and the surprise theme of Snoop Dog and Eminem.
