Pitbull posts impassioned appeal for swift assistance for Cubans
Pitbull, the Grammy-winning musician, took to Twitter on Wednesday to urge his 25 million followers to support the historic protests that have broken out in Cuba, which has been under communist rule for decades. "We need to get creative, we need to figure out solutions while they’re [anti-government protesters] losing their lives over there, literally, for something that we wake up every day and appreciate, which is freedom," the singer, who is Cuban-American and whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, said. He continued, "This isn’t about politics, it’s about saving lives," he said.
