'Nothing political'


Colombian rock star Juanes is going ahead with a peace concert in Cuba despite receiving threatening messages, his manager has said.
The event, due to take place on 20 September, has been criticised by some US-based Cubans for supporting the country's communist government.
Latin Grammy winner Juanes, who lives in Miami, told police he had received threats via his Twitter account.

Miami authorities have said they will continue to watch Juanes' home in the city, which is the base for many Cuban Americans who are opposed to President Raul Castro's regime.

There is "absolutely nothing political" about the peace concert, which is set to take place in Havana's Revolution Plaza. -Manager said.
