Spanish Officials Condemn Matisyahu Concert Cancellation
(Billboard) The Spanish government has condemned the cancellation of American Jewish musician Matisyahu's appearance at the Rototom Sunsplash festival after he failed to meet demands that he clarify his position on Palestinian statehood. "Imposing a public declaration (from Matisyahu) puts into question the principle of non-discrimination on which all plural and diverse societies are based," the Spanish foreign ministry said Tuesday. Some government officials in Valencia also spoke out against the actions of the festival, which receives public funding.
