MIAMI -- A controversial Cuban pop group will perform in Miami, despite
the objections of some exile groups.

Several exile organizations have protested Buena Fe's upcoming
performance. The band participated in a birthday celebration for Fidel
Castro earlier this year. They also took part in funeral services for
the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

El Nuevo Herald (http://hrld.us/1o16Mzn ) reports that Miami-Dade County
will not cancel the concert.

Mayor Carlos Gimenez said he does not support Buena Fe or condone the
group's provocative remarks. But following guidance from the county
attorney, the event can't be canceled because of the existing contract
and free speech guarantees of the First Amendment.

The concert is slated to take place Thursday at the county auditorium.
