US Blocks Cuban Musician from Playing at Pete Seeger Concert
------------------------------------------------------------



And the prominent Cuban musician Silvio Rodriguez has criticized the
Obama administration after the State Department blocked his entry into
the United States to perform at Sunday’s ninetieth birthday celebration
for Pete Seeger. Rodriguez said, “As a worker for Cuban culture, I still
feel as blockaded and discriminated against as I do by other
administrations…and I truly hope that changes someday.”
