Untitled[edit]

Poor article. It fails to mention significant movements like Cuban metal, that even gets aired on national television and has important festivals across the island, which a simple Internet search will reveal. The article is also quite opinative and political and there's a whole paragraph devoted to an unknown Canadian band, probably written by members of the band itself.

I agree this article is fully biased. We can even talk of a non neutral article. To neutralize it, it is a lot of work. First, I think the political, musical and historical issues must be separated. In other words, it must be fully restructured.--DominiquePeople (talk) 13:41, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

there are many misspellings and nonsense sentences, probably they've been translated directly from Cuban Spanish with Google translate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.193.171 (talk) 08:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone who speaks english fix this article? 07:35, 17 May 2013 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.46.33 (talk)

John Lennon and Cuba[edit]

It is also very interesting to make a search on John Lennon and Cuba. I just done it, and it appear the source for all the medias that tell the story of the interdiction of J. Lennon and Rock music is always the same Reuters article. If you look at this article Sur John Lennon, Cuba et les années 60, par José Perez, writed by a Cuban, and that was published in English in the Chicago tribune, we get a completely different story. Both points of view should be in the article. As I speak French, I will try to write something.--DominiquePeople (talk) 15:10, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the article[edit]

My English is poor, so I can only made small fixes. 2 links can provide contents for this article:

Cuba Metal - El portal del Metal y el Rock en Cuba (in Spanish)
history of Cuban rock (in Spanish)

It is more links on the Spanish version of that article.--DominiquePeople (talk) 12:57, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, on CubaRed, the article on the Rock tell nothing about the Cuban rock. But this page Agrupaciones de rock de Cuba provide a list of Cuban rock bands. On theirs pages, it is further links on articles of sites like Juventud Rebelde, Cubarte and Cubadebate. A way for investigation.--DominiquePeople (talk) 13:53, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A good one in English: The History of Rock in Cuba.--DominiquePeople (talk) 15:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I begin to change things. I made an introduction and several titles. We know have a structure that will made further changes much more easier.--DominiquePeople (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now, I have a big problem. If I read what is now the sixties paragraph, and compare it with its source, nothing is corresponding. The source doesn't even talk about rock. Also, this is more political than anything else. I think the best move will be to add a section to show the different political points of view, and purge this paragraph from all the political stuffs.--DominiquePeople (talk) 17:05, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
