Cuba's 'lost generation' voices discontent through song
In Santiago de Cuba Dr. Raynier Casamayor, a 31 year old rural clinician turned reggaeton artist known as El Medico, vents Cuba's youth mood in "Children of the Revolution." He riffs on promises unmet, economic hardship, and a desire to travel while Cuba keeps its doctors at home. The piece tracks the broader restlessness among under30s, schooling costs, salaries, and the government's push for sacrifice, contrasting Castro era rhetoric with a tech hungry, mobile generation.
