If you listen closely to protesters in Cuba and Florida, you can hear people chanting patria y vida, translating to homeland and life. The chants reclaim a popular slogan from the Cuban revolution, homeland or death.
Protests in Cuba have been ongoing for years but reemerged last week when thousands of Cubans marched to protest food and medicine shortages, power outages and some even calling for political change.
But where did the slogan patria y vida come from? Cuban reggaetón musicians Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom of the duo Gente De Zona; Yotuel Romero, member of the Cuban band Orishas; and singer-songwriter Descemer Bueno.
