    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Justine Medina is a barista and Cuban-American activist opposed to the embargo imposed by the #US government on Cuba, the island she considers her other homeland.

    After multiple visits to Cuba, she says conditions have worsened: food shortages, scarcity of medicine and constant blackouts that make daily life harder.

    According to Justine, this war, which has lasted 66 years and has intensified over time, only causes more suffering for the people.

    “I grew up hearing criticism of the Cuban government,” says Justine, who was raised in Florida. “But I also learned that the #embargo should end.”

  6. Vic Mensa in Cuba: Black Culture, Blackouts and Resistance

    Vic Mensa came to Cuba — but not as a performer. The Chicago rapper arrived as part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy, an international solidarity mission bringing humanitarian aid to an island under one of the longest economic #blockades in modern history.

    “From a #US perspective, the pain of the world is often out of sight, out of mind,” he said in an interview with BotB.. Vic came to Cuba to see the impact of US policy firsthand.

    Cuba didn't just move him politically. It moved him personally, as a #Black man, as a father, as someone who carries both America and #Africa inside him.

    Walking deeper into Old Havana, he kept seeing faces that looked like home.

    “What I like the most about this experience is seeing that there are Black people on this planet who can't be broken,” he said.

  11. In the Face of US Threats, Cuba Solidarity Strengthens
    belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/pos

    [weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective]
    May 8, 2026

    As Trump ramps up economic warfare and threats of military action against Cuba, solidarity from people in the US is growing in response.

    This week, we hear from people who have traveled to Cuba amid deepening economic hardship on the island — from a young activist who left Minneapolis for Havana to march on May Day, to rapper Vic Mensa who witnessed the effects of sanctions firsthand in a Cuban hospital, to organizer Imani Bashir who reflects on Cuba through the lens of anti-imperialist and #Black radical traditions.

  12. Video - In the Face of Washington’s Threats, U.S.-Cuba Solidarity Strengthens

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Duration - 8:01

    While Washington doubles down on its economic war on Cuba, one young activist from Minneapolis packed his bag and flew to Havana. Lavish came not despite U.S. aggression, but because of it, to show #solidarity with the Cuban people.

    On #internationalWorkersDay, Lavish was joined by Josué, a young Cuban researcher who has been attending May Day marches since he was a child. The two come from different worlds, but found common ground in Havana.

    Cuba is living through one of its hardest economic moments in decades. And yet, there are people in the #US who choose to show up anyway, to stand alongside a people they believe deserve dignity, sovereignty and the right to live without the threat of war or foreign intervention.

    [from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Duration - 2:02

    #ImaniBashir is a Black American activist from Washington D.C. She visited to #Cuba following a radical political tradition, one that includes Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, and Kwame Ture, figures who understood the #CubanRevolution as part of a broader struggle for liberation.

    For Bashir, visiting Cuba wasn't just political, it was personal. Seeing #AfroCuban people, she says, was seeing people who look like her, who share her history, who have maintained their culture and dignity under decades of sanctions.

    Her argument on the #blockade is straightforward: Cuba has never been a threat to the US. It has never put #US safety, its food supply, or resources at stake. "It has only been the other way around," she says.

    #YilianCañizares stands out as one of the extraordinary talents of the new generation of Cuban musicians. She conquers international stages, taking traditional Cuban #violin beyond the boundaries of #ClassicalMusic.

    Yillian was born in #Havana and later settled in #Switzerland. On her return to Cuba for this year’s #JazzPlazaFestival, she shares her vision: “Cuban music has virtuosity, flavor, and cubanía, and I come to add a little sweetness, my feminine perspective.”

    For Yilian, Jazz Plaza is a place where dreams turn into music, and where roots, friendship and dedication are celebrated. A space that inspires new generations, especially #women who want to leave their mark on #music.

    #YilianCañizares stands out as one of the extraordinary talents of the new generation of Cuban musicians. She conquers international stages, taking traditional Cuban #violin beyond the boundaries of #ClassicalMusic.

    Yillian was born in #Havana and later settled in #Switzerland. On her return to Cuba for this year’s #JazzPlazaFestival, she shares her vision: “Cuban music has virtuosity, flavor, and cubanía, and I come to add a little sweetness, my feminine perspective.”

    For Yilian, Jazz Plaza is a place where dreams turn into music, and where roots, friendship and dedication are celebrated. A space that inspires new generations, especially #women who want to leave their mark on #music.

    Thousands of Cubans marched this Friday to the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune in Havana, in front of the #US Embassy, as well as to squares and parks across the rest of the country, to celebrate #MayDay.

    “Cuba defends itself” was the slogan of the marches, as thousands took to the streets in support of the Cuban Revolution and rejection of U.S. economic warfare and military.

    This year’s May Day marches take place amid a deepening economic crisis marked by shortages of medicine, food and fuel that have been brought about in large part by U.S. sanctions.

  38. Video - How Cuba’s Free Public Music Schools Produce World-Class Musicians
    peertube.world/w/pX1QpauRMfQpU
    Duration - 1:28

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Returning to Havana to perform at the International #Jazz Plaza Festival, renowned Cuban-born violinist Yilian Cañizares explains why Cuban musicians have had such a huge impact on the global music scene.

    “There’s a kind of magic formula in Cuba,” she says.

    Part of that magic formula is the rigorous musical education Cuban musicians receive from an early age, trained not only in their instruments, but also in the theory, history and #culture of music.

    Yilian says #music in Cuba is not just studied - it’s lived. It’s part of everyday life, woven into the culture, the streets, and the rhythms people grow up with. That constant presence shapes #musicians in a way that’s unique to the island.
