Havana.– Preparations are under way in Cuba for a controversial concert by Colombian singer Juanes. The show, being held Sunday in Havana's Revolution Square, is part of a series of concerts called Peace Without Borders.

Organizers are expecting huge crowds from all over the communist island. Juanes has faced harsh criticism by cuban exiles in South Florida, who say that just by his being there, the singer is endorsing Cuba's communist system.

Juanes, the 17-time Latin Grammy winner, and the organizers have said the show has no ideological overtones. His first "Peace Without Borders" concert in March 2008 drew tens of thousands to the border between Venezuela and Colombia when tensions were high over a Colombian commando raid into neighboring Ecuador.

Hey big deal if this overrated 2 hit wonder (A Dios Le Pido, La Camisa Negra) wants to sing to the Cuban people? The 80 year-old Cuban Republicans from Florida should just shut their fascist Batista-Loving boca!!!

If in Cuba...comment...if in Miami...well...you really aren't Cuban...are you.

Who cares.

People with militant agendas, however soft they may be are no better than those who kill.

Im watching it right now. It looks very crowded, well organized and fake in many aspects. You can see all the snitches in the crowd just making their lists of who will be written up and maybe even arrested later on..

lo unico que Gloria Estefan y Willie Chirino le pueden dar a Cuba es una cancion. put your money where your mouth is, stop the song and dance!
actions speak louder than words. the same thing happen in the late 1800's when maximo gomez fought for cuba's independence while Jose Marti sat down and wrote poetry. give me a break huh! dejen de ecribir y cantar y empicen a dar amor a la gente de cuba y no usen la politica como excusa! este mensaje es para los cubanos de Miami. THANk YOU JUANES!
