HAVANA TIMES — The controversy around a canceled Cuban music festival in Miami in April 2011 will be brought before a court in a trial that will begin on August 13, reported the Café Fuerte website.
The companies MIA and Fuego Entertainment Resorts have filed a civil suit against the Homestead Miami Speedway complex because of that private institution having refused to honor its agreement to host a festival that would have brought together some 30 musical groups from Cuba and the US.
The plaintiffs are asking for $1 million in compensation for losses incurred due to the cancelation of the event.
The call for the festival had angered sections of the Cuban-American community, who consider the views of artists from the island as supportive by the Cuban government.
