Café Guancasco, which has been a powerful voice in the Honduran resistance movement following the June 2009 military coup, was viciously attacked in San Pedro Sula by Honduran police & military on September 15th, Honduran Independence Day. One elderly vendor was killed and dozens of audience and band members were sent to the hospital.
The coup regime forces also destroyed the rented sound system. As a result, Café Guancasco is many thousands of dollars in debt. Now, the rental company is poised to begin legal action. This is just another way to silence Honduras’s most effective artistic dissent.
