Was Cuba Right To Ban Violent/Sexually Explicit Music from Radio and Television?
Miami New Times reports that Cuba has banned Reggaeton, along with other violent and sexually explicit music from radio and television:
"Neither vulgarity or mediocrity may dent the richness of Cuban music," Cuban Institute of Music president Orlando Vistel Columbié told the state-owned press.
Vistel in particularly takes issue with the "aggressive, sexually explicit, obscene" reggaeton lyrics that portray Cuban women as "grotesque sexual objects."
Though, Vistel clarified that he's not only concerned with reggaeton, but considers the party genre a particular menace.
Can you imagine genres of music being banned in America? Rap? Rock? Country?
What are your thoughts?
