Colombia news - Placido Domingo

World famous tenor Placido Domingo supports Colombian singer Juanes' decision to play in Cuba, the tenor said Cartagena Thursday.

"I believe that Juanes took a very positive decision," the Spanish tenor told reporters.

Placido Domingo, who will give a concert in Colombia's most famous tourist city Saturday, said he understands Cuban Americans' contradictory reactions, but "so much time has passed and I believe it is time we all cooperate ... and we can perform before them [the Cubans] like Juanes will."

Juanes received fierce criticism from Cuban exiles over his Havana concert and even reported having received death threats. Juanes, who claims the concert is apolitical, said he will perform in Cuba despite the controversy.
