Sandro Castro, the grandson of the late Fidel Castro, shared an unusual video on Sunday night, where he dances to the remixed tune “No War, Yes Peace,” which includes a message directed at the U.S. from the ousted Venezuelan leader, Nicolás Maduro.
At 34, Sandro is among Fidel Castro’s many grandchildren and is known for his eccentric and often disturbing social media posts. His Instagram currently boasts over 144,000 followers.
Frequent posts from the late dictator’s grandson highlight his extravagant lifestyle, standing in stark contrast to the harsh realities faced by everyday Cubans, who grapple with severe hardships after decades of tumultuous communist governance under Fidel Castro.
In the recent video, Sandro dons a black Mercedes-Benz hat, waves a Venezuelan flag, and grooves to the parody song “Not War Yes Peace,” which was released by Dominican artist Hey Santana in late October. The video appears to be filmed close to the Anti-Imperialist Tribune, a monument established by Cuba’s communist government near the U.S. Embassy in Havana.
This latest video featuring Castro marks the second time he has referenced Venezuela since the January 3, 2026 action taken by U.S. officials in Caracas that resulted in Nicolás Maduro’s arrest along with his wife, Cilia Flores.
On that date, Castro shared a document in this video, stating his support for Venezuelans striving for freedom and democracy. He called for an end to violence and advocated for dialogue.
In a continuation from the January video, Castro addressed President Trump, advising him to be direct if he intends to pursue justice for Maduro, referring to the U.S. evidence relating to the deposed leader’s drug trafficking offenses.
“I oppose drug trafficking but believe in justice and support for people’s rights and freedoms,” he stated.
Castro posed a further query about the $50 million bounty placed on Maduro, asking if anyone knew its whereabouts. “If you have it, please let me know. I wish you all peace and love,” he ended on a positive note.
Hey Santana, the creator of the “No War, Yes Peace” remix, clarified on a Dominican talk show that his song was meant as a parody and he is not aligned with Maduro. He denied any claim of having received payment to “sanitize” Maduro’s image.
“Frankly, no one has reached out to me, and I’m hoping it stays that way as I have no interest in politics,” Santana remarked, emphasizing his work is intended for entertainment and fun.
