Herpes Affect Kidneys

the omni friends



Just for fun, to share the fantasy and joy of the Omni , their friendship and generous talent for improvising every moment, these short videos filmed on the anniversary of Nilo, a Members of the group in spring 2007. We had
found between the apartment blocks of Alamar, on a piece of waste ground between rows of garages. There were banana, a pot full of simmering caldos in a corner, a few boards as a bench, a long thread to get a little electricity, music, the starry sky above.
David sang and rapped (a song dedicated to Alamar, another below, Amor as a provocation against intolerance), Amaury had danced, joyous and exuberant as usual, we had eaten a cake azul kitsch we had to share it 20 a bottle of rum I guess.



Earlier this month, the Omni were evicted from their studio, a bare room with a kiln, a painted concrete floor, and drawings everywhere. The room was part of the Culture House of Alamar (al lado del doce plantas "next to the building of 12 floors, that's how we gave the address - street names lost long).
past fifteen years, they worked , created " performance, keeping the institutional linkage, both inside and outside, with a contagious energy and inventiveness. Originally
of expulsion, the stigma of their links with Yoani , they have known for several years, and with whom they share a concern for participation and expression for all. Its possible presence in their festival upset, obviously.
To gain understanding, Vice Minister of Culture Fernando Rojas, has warned: "If Yoani comes, I will give myself shots latte." Very
elegant for a minister, striking summary of the high-flying political debate in Cuba ( here, a small example of Teke de Rojas, history to better understand who are the revolutionaries and reactionaries who are, in Cuba for years zero).

I remember once found in an impromptu party at the gentleman Rojas. It was in Nuevo Vedado neighborhood of senior officials, across from Carlos Lage, vice-president since fallen. At the end of a peña, I had been dragged by some friends who were also friends of Reinaldo and Yoani precisely artists, trovadores, etc..
Sometimes friends of friends of my friends are not my friends ...
comfortable house, drinks in abundance, laughter, jokes about Castro (we're talking about a vice-minister): perfect illustration of the double standard that undermines Cuba. And to protect this situation, comfort cynical, a man can not find it abnormal that a woman will hit because she writes a blog (also beaten by plainclothes cops a few weeks earlier).
Not to contradict, not invite him to debate.
No, no, strike, simply.
