Irish #HipHop group #Kneecap performed in Havana as part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy humanitarian mission. In a press conference, the Belfast trio spoke about why they made the trip, what they witnessed on the streets of Havana and the deep historical bond between #Ireland and #Cuba.
The convoy brought over 20 tons of food and medicine to a country suffocating under decades of the #US #embargo. But for Kneecap, this was never just about aid. It was about #solidarity — the same solidarity that the Irish people received from around the world during their own revolutionary struggle.
“They're going about their lives as best they can. I think it's something we relate to,” said Rapper Móglaí Bap, a member of the group.[...]It's not in our nature as #Irish people to witness injustice anywhere in the world and stay silent.”
