Havana, March 24, 2016: The Cubans are being welcomed by the Rolling Stones to their free concert on Friday with Mick Jagger speaking Spanish in a video on YouTube, though few are likely to see it, given Cuba’s scant Internet penetration.

In a voice over while the Stones’ song, “Jumping’ Jack Flash” plays to snippets of concert video, Jagger said, “We have played in many incredible places but this concert in Havana is going to be a historic event for us.” “We hope it will be for you, too.”

Under 33% of Cubans have admittance to the Internet, with just 3.4 percent of homes associated with either the Internet or a nearby Cuban Intranet, as per UN information.

The Stones added Cuba to the end of a Latin American visit, turning into the primary significant universal rock stars to play in the island country.

The open air show at a games complex was delayed five days on account of the 48-hour visit by US President Barack Obama, who left Cuba on Tuesday.

The band have gotten 61 shipping compartments with an expected 500 tons of types of gear, for example, a stage, speakers, lights and video screens, the creation administrator, Dale Skjerseth, told correspondents on Sunday.

A team of 140 Stones representatives and no less than 80 Cubans have set up on grounds including a football field and bordering baseball fields with space for a huge number of observers why should welcomed land for nothing on a first-come, first-serve premise.
