Album Description"Arranca is a punk-rock Cuban-American band which has taken Marti's belief that "Poetry is suffering," and poured their pain out in their first release Exile on Pain Street (Exilio Doloroso). Their album has already been banned in Cuba and heavily criticized in Miami. Their 10th track: Rational Anthem (Himno Racional) is an all out assault on Cuban sacred cows. It's a powerful song of protest which has been adapted from the Cuban national anthem. It is the equivalent of turning a flag upside down: a symbol of distress and national disaster. Exhorting Cuban youth in the island to "renounce the dictatorship, the hardships and the restrictions on liberty which they currently suffer." -John Suarez, Yara!
