Venezuelan Alt-Rock Band Le’ Cinema Speaks Out With Protest Song ‘Resistencia’
Rock has always expressed feelings of anger, disagreement and disappointment about the state of the world — making it the perfect music for Venezuela right now as the country deals with difficult circumstances and a socio-political crisis.
Many musicians have spoken out against the conflict between the government and the protesters that has put Venezuela in the international news. In five months, more than 100 have died and most citizens disapprove of the government’s plans.
