Granma vs. Grammy / Regina Coyula

Granma vs. Grammy / Regina Coyula
Regina Coyula

Before the Latin Grammy Awards, the newspaper Granma published the names
of nominees from among the musicians of our island … who live on our
island: Omara, the diva of the Buena Vista Social Club, with a recording
of children's music; Adalberto Alvarez, with his usual presence in the
tropical music category; and the Santiago de Cuba Septet.

After the awards night: headlines for Calle 13, the big winners in this
year's Grammys. And who else? A mystery.

The press coverage of this cultural event illustrates how the thinking
of Cuban journalists in government institutions will not change. They can't.
