Cuban singer Annie Garcés and her group gave a concert online Monday, broadcast on Canal Clave TV station, Radio Progreso, the Youtube channel of the Ministry of Culture and a network of more than 100 Facebook pages –the latest in a series of such performances by Cuban artists.

The concerts online are a joint initiative by the Cuban Ministry of Culture, the Cuban Music Institute and the Institute of Radio and Television (ICRT), to bring art closer to people’s homes in times of Covid-19, when millions in Cuba and around the world are being encouraged to stay home, thus breaking the chain of transmission of the deadly respiratory disease.

According to information provided by the Communications Office of the Cuban Music Institute, the online concerts will continue during this –the ninth week since the initiative was launched with the hashtags #EstamosContigo and #MusicosPorCuba. Rapper Adversario will be next on Wednesday, May 20th, followed on Thursday, May 21st, by pianist Aldo López Gavilán.
