Venezuela stages own concerts in response to Branson's Live Aid show

1. It will be interesting to see who Maduro gets to play his venue

Two days of "high powered entertainment" (llanera, joropo) will include previously unheard of groups from Cuba and Bolivia. And hungry Venezuelan acts who aren't too proud to get a food box as barter. (lets face it, even molding imported Turkish lentils has value, as opposed to the Venezuelan Bolivar Soberano)

And while Sir Branson is pulling in Tier 1 talent across the border playing to an estimated crowd of several hundred thousand, Maduro will flood Ureña (across from Cucuta) with his fake Cuban doctors, newly minted Venezuelan "medicos" and food boxes. Ignoring the irony that Venezuelans needing government rations (CLAP) at all to eat isn't an indictment?

The rest of Venezuela will get to see Maduro's show on all channels, while Sir Branson's concert will be blocked from all media. Hopefully less political ranting and bluster from the Chavistas and more llanera and joropo...
