Condemn Politics? Si
Sergio Munoz writes about Cuban singer Pablo Milanes that “condemning Milanes for ideological reasons would be a mistake” (“Crooning With a Politicized Passion,” April 11). I strongly disagree. It may be a mistake to criticize him for artistic reasons, as Milanes is undoubtedly a great lyricist and a good singer, but his support for the Castro regime, after 42 years of dictatorship, is indeed inexcusable and ought to be pointed out.

Sorry, but composing “humanistic ballads” while supporting Fidel Castro’s long, cruel and inhuman dictatorship sounds like an oxymoron to me.
