Florida Extends Batista Dictatorship

From 1952 Till 2019!!
{With Only A Slight 1959 Pause}
     The Havana-based Gente de Zona band -- consisting of Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom -- is one of the best, most honored, and most popular musical acts in the Western Hemisphere. They were signed up to perform on July 4th in Hialeah, Florida, and most Cuban-Americans in the area were anxious to see them. But a handful of generational exiles from 1959's ousted Batista dictatorship in Cuba continue to dictate Florida's politics and Florida's economy. Thus, the mayor of Hialeah this week -- on June 17th, 2019 -- canceled the appearance of Gente de Zona.
      Yes, the Gente de Zona duo {Randy Malcom and Alexander Delgado} are super-talented musicians and they are nice guys. But a handful of Batistiano-types in Florida in 2019 are not embarrassed by resembling the Batista dictatorship that ruled Cuba from 1952 till 1959 when the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by booting the Batista-Mafia rulers off the island, where their quick resurrection in South Florida reshaped America by proving to be an extension of the Batista dictatorship on U. S. soil. The victims, not to mention the U. S. democracy itself, are endless...with Randy Malcom and Alexander Delgado merely the latest. But saddest of all from the overall standpoint is the fact that the vast majority of Americans and Cuban-Americans, through three generations now, have been reduced to meekly accepting such insults to democracy. "Uh, ye...yes, I a...agree. If, uh...Randy and Alexander sti...still...li...live in Cuba...they wo...would...be...be a gr...great th...threat to...to A...America...if they pe...performed in Fl...Florida...on Ju...July 4th. We...uh, a...agree wi...with you...Ma...Mayor, sir."
In 1959 Fidel chased the Batistianos.....
all the way to Miami!!!
