Monday, September 21, 2009 HAVANA: The Revolution Square is expected to become a seething mass of people Sunday afternoon, with peace and music as leitmotiv for a unique five-hour concert by Colombian Juanes and 14 other artists, who will perform for 11 million Cubans.Its identity seal is "Peace without Borders," the name of this Juanes' project first materialized on the Colombian border in 2008 and now in Havana.For his dream to become a reality, Juanes had to face aggressions and strong criticism from the most recalcitrant sectors in Miami.It is a dream that beat fear to emerge stronger. This way to Cuba has helped me understand many things. There will be a Juanes before and after this concert.
The Juanes after Cuba is the one I want to be, he told Prensa Latina.The enormous perimeter of the Revolution Square, linked to the history and life of Cubans, is an enviable open-air scene, with 12 cameras on different brackets to facilitate better images and a sort of dialogue between artists and audience, with music as a communicating bridge.A sound test was carried out on Saturday, with musicians expressing satisfaction for the hard work done by technicians, engineers and specialists from several countries, including a US technician, who has been in charge of mounting a giant screen for the audience to be able to follow details of the concert from any angle of the Square.I think we have to be there, and not only in Cuba, but also in Ecuador, Mexico, everywhere, always remembering that we can no longer let them divide us, stressed Juanes.
