This is why Gorki is in trouble

Cuban punk rocker Gorki Aguila will reportedly stand trial today in Havana on charges that he is a "pre-criminal social danger."

Gorki, the lead singer for Porno Para Ricardo, is dangerous, indeed, but not for any reasons the dictatorship might have you believe. He is dangerous because like any punk rocker deserving of the description, he sings truth to power.

He did just that in the 2007 hit, "El Comandante," a denunciation of the decaying dictator Fidel Castro and his "delirious shit."

Listen and watch here:

El Mizzoubanazo has the lyrics, in both Spanish and English.
