The Toronto, Canada based punk rock band I Had A Dream, I.H.A.D. formed in 2010 asks tourists in their song titled Orlando Zapata: "Where were you the day Orlando Zapata died?" Below is a live performance of the song first posted at Babalu blog.
Full lyrics reproduced below:
Orlando Zapata
Children of the revolution can you answer this question:
Where were you the day Orlando Zapata died?
Same ask for the tourist crowd who don't listen to what screams out loud.
Did you enjoy your drinks? are you self satisfied?
I get the resistance stuff but why does that repressive regime get a free ride?
Oh, do you know how Orlando Zapata died?
Do you believe in evolution or systemic dysfunction? They sent him to prison for wanting human rights.
Charged with disobedience for political expedience that callous clique ignored this poor man's hunger strike.
I get the resistance stuff but why does that repressive regime get a free ride?
Oh, do you know how Orlando Zapata died?
Oh Orlando Zapata Tamayo couldn't let your spirit hide sorry friend for our privileged pride.
I get the resistance stuff but why does that repressive regime get a free ride?
Oh, do you know how Orlando Zapata died?
