COLOMBIA REPORTS/
A radio station aired a recording of Juanes angrily denouncing being shadowed while on the island.
"This is it, we're leaving now! We're very angry, very angry, very angry. We came here to sing to the young people of Cuba, and that's why we are here. But we've encountered strong obstacles, and this is it!" the singer is heard saying in the recording.
"I just noticed that the person that brings me breakfast and drives my taxi also showed up at the concert, and now he's there behind us, taking notes. I don't want to go back to my room," Juanes explained to Cuban officials.
