Kneecap Are “Mobilising to Cuba” With the Nuestra América Convoy
Irish rap trio Kneecap announced they will travel with the Nuestra América Convoy to deliver humanitarian aid to Cuba, arriving in Havana on March 21. The convoy, originally a flotilla, now employs air, land and sea routes to address Cuba’s deepening economic and health crisis exacerbated by U.S. sanctions and fuel shortages. Kneecap framed the mission as a stand against the Trump administration’s “siege” of the island, linking their activism to the release of their upcoming album ‘FENIAN’. The move follows the group’s recent charitable efforts for Palestine and a series of high‑profile festival dates.
