A steady stream of at-home entertainment for the Cuban public gives a global audience access to performances by a panorama of artists.
On May 1, Cubans usually celebrate International Workers Day on the streets, flocking to open spaces throughout the country, with hundreds of thousands convening in Havana’s Plaza de la Revolución.
This year, a country in confinement due to the pandemic will join in an 8 am national anthem sing-along and applaud essential workers from their windows and balconies.
There's also a new anthem with a rumba beat for Cuba’s May Day: "Vivir Para Vencer," by singer/songwriter Arnaldo Rodríguez, who recorded the song in a Havana studio with a group that includes conga players and conservatory symphony musicians
