Infact it screams, spits, confronts & consoles the daily issue of life in Cuba. Raspadura Productions & UnderTV (Cuba) cut a new track in media production as Cuba’s ghetto tech savvy youth come of age. This Documentary should make festivals, but because of the chances of it NOT the Raspadura clan passed it onto trespeso to get it out ASAP.
There are 9 parts, uploading them from Playa del Carmen Mexico is a little hectic and some of the parts may not be in order.

Trespeso continues to make music against all the obsticals present in both Cuba and the world. Your support is important but the ratio of those who claim they love our music and those who actually purchase it is like 10,000 to 1 ?

1st an update, some personal shit but you may as well know
If nothing more than inspire others in loss & emotional turmoil !!!
I’m just recently back from the Philippines where I buried my father “Alan the Book” who was, is & remains an inspiration to me and the “palante mentalidad” of Trespeso as collective and a business. Well what little biz there is these days.
I was in Cuba making music with Kiki and a bunch of Trespeso Artists, dodging the odd hurricane & receiving emotionally de-stabalising emails complete with graphic pix of my “papa” in ICU complete with resporator tubes & a huge stage 4 Squamas cell cancer on the side of his face. Not an easy thing to deal with from Cuba when changing a ticket date or leaving in the middle of producing a dreams to reality opportunity for my trespeso family. Was NON option full of pain & potential guilt.
I was glad I was there in Cuba doing what I do and Kiki & a few others close to me were very supportive of my fathers situation, with that staunch Cuban attitude of accepting suffering as part of life while advocating keeping your “cojones” intact & staying focused on the moving ahead with the music. I knew that deciding to stay, and not trying to rush off to the PI to be by his side was infact exactly what he would have done knowing the motives I have with trespeso and all the artists involved. And that he held on till I arrived, was testament to that.
I arrived in Cebu city PI at 7.30pm on the 21st of Oct, spent several hours by his side and then he passed at 12.20am on the 22nd. “ciao pescou”
My father truely is the inspiration & strength for the never give in attitude I have towards this music and the people whom with I make it…!!!! But it’s the Cubans who struggle daily in Cuba
cleaning their “bodega ration” rice of rocks end dirt, whom hustle hard daily to put some “carne” in their families diet, whom approach every deal with a cunning to survive that have with out a doubt perpetuated that strength in me, and within each other.
On the real my pops was “un chulo de verdad” and a hustler of sorts. Shit I even put that on his death certificate but anyone who’s knows hardship in the 3rd world enough to taste the suffering, knows that not many, if any can navigate with compassion and respect for a long period of time. He lived there for 30 yrs and was respected and loved my the marginal street people, hustlers, pimps, gangster & “putas” of the Filo ghettos and it is his philosophy of trust no one but respect everyone that gave me the tools to face all the shit daily that exists in Cuba & this bizzo. So with all that in mind I thought I pay some respect & homage to the facilitation of his passing in Cebu PI with a little “adios papa” youtube video here
So now that’s all said and done “la guerra continua” this is some what we been busy producing these last months in the Santia-ghetto. Vatoz Locoz are clearly some of the more extreme talent of trespeso and although I don’t always meet eye to eye with the recklessness of the dynamic duo I can’t help but always be amaised at their immense talent. Chorote hounded me for weeks to do a little interview with him to put up on the web. But instead I handed the camera to Alayo of Rezistencia & Pucho aka El Stratega encouraging them to begin to guide and produce trespeso media. Please leave a comment or ten, post a thousand links, buy a million CD’s.
Any help or propagation that may lead to more sales of their music is always appreciated.
