Residente postponed the release of the album: Why?

René Pérez, known in the music scene as Residente, has announced that he has postponed the release of his next studio production because he cannot be indifferent to the “macabre genocide that is slowly destroying Palestine”.

The Puerto Rican musician, who supports Palestine, admitted that he was embarrassed that he included the phrase “it will explode like Palestine” in his hit song “Atrévete”, so he changed the lyrics of the song.

Without fear of being fired, Pérez asks Palestinehe is sad about what is happening and doesn’t understand how some are silent in front of him the death of thousands of innocents.

“(…) And I wonder… When was the day when we we dehumanize at such a level that we can see the heads of boys and girls exploding in front of us, and we say nothing, why doesn’t everything stop like in pandemic? Let everything stop so we can all focus Loop“The resident asked.

He considered himself responsible Israelwith the alleged assistance of the United States, death the civilian population of Palestine. “They are civilians they are killing,” he said.

“I don’t do it from the side of reproach, but from the side disappointment. As artist It saddened me to see that throughout Grammy Awards “Nobody said anything about this genocide,” Pérez said.

He then added: “I understand that there are people who don’t say anything because they don’t understand conflict…. But let’s see, tell me, what do we have to understand that is so complicated? You don’t have to be a historian to put yourself in the shoes of each of them massacred family in Palestine. It’s simple, this is about having compassion“Put yourself in the shoes of others, think that that child who was just killed could be your son or brother and that woman under the rubble could be your mother.”

For those who are afraid to be canceledhe stated that “in supporting Palestine they are on the right side history. If you haven’t done so yet, follow the young Palestinian photographers and journalists who sacrificed their lives to show us theirs networks all that the mass media hides. We must all come together and call for an immediate ceasefire. Every child killed in Gaza today would be alive if they stopped bombing yesterday. Freedom for Palestine.

In this sense, since October, the musician decided to postpone the launch of his new productionthere is no current premiere date, but the buzz will continue Palestinian people.
