The unrelenting political static between South Florida and Cuba has interfered again with the musical message of the Latin Grammys, which will be staged tonight in Miami. The BBC on Tuesday reported accusations from Cuban government officials who claim their Washington counterparts have deliberately stalled the visas for nominees who hail from the island nation. The British news agency also reported the return fire from U.S. diplomats, who blame delays on Havana.
Either way, the slowdown of documents is expected to keep Cuban nominees such as Los Van Van and Chucho Valdes away from the gala tonight, which will be broadcast on CBS.
