The Mexican group Maná refuses to participate in Donald Trump's hate campaign
- September 18, 2024
There are less than two months left until Americans make a crucial decision on who will lead the world's superpower.
Last weekend, Donald Trump could not contain his disdain for the famous pop singer Taylor Swift , who has expressed her support for candidate Kamala Harris. In a message on his social network TruthSocial, the former president was blunt in declaring: "I hate Taylor Swift."
However, the controversy does not stop there. Nicky Jam , a well-known reggaeton singer, became the center of attention after participating in a Trump political rally in Las Vegas. At that event, the singer came to express his support for the Republican, despite how embarrassing it was for him when, upon introducing him, Trump showed he had no idea who he was and said the confusing phrase: "Do you know Nicky? She's hot."
Mana's response
In contrast, the iconic Mexican band Maná , known for its commitment to Latino rights and opposition to racism, reacted strongly. They decided to cancel their collaboration with Nicky Jam on the song "De Pies a Cabeza" , expressing their position through a statement on their official Instagram account . There they stated: "For the past 30 years, Maná has supported and defended the rights of Latinos in the world. There is no business that is worth more than the dignity of our people, so today we decided to withdraw our collaboration with Nicky Jam."
As we approach the election, it is crucial to recognize the strategy that Trump has adopted, a strategy reminiscent of that of other right-wing political movements around the world: lying as if there were no tomorrow . The lack of scruples is evident, even when absurd phrases such as'los migrantes se comen los gatos de los americanos'These absurd statements not only seek to misinform, but also to divert attention from crucial issues affecting society.
