SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

A statement on the band's Web site said Cuban police detained Aguila at his home Monday morning as he was about to go to the studio to record the final songs for a new album by his group Porno para Ricardo, CNN reported.

The statement, written in Spanish, was translated by the broadcaster as saying, "This new episode of harassment and persecution is occurring just as Porno para Ricardo is in the middle of recording its new record, which eliminates any possibility that this repressive escalation could be described as a 'coincidence.'"

It concludes, "In Cuba, the voice of the brave is silenced by the regime, which doesn't hesitate to use intimidation and force."
