Radio Havana 6000 kHz 0255z 1/5/2014 playing John Lennon

This is a new one for me.  ;)  RHC just played "Woman is the Nigger of the World", and after a short introduction about Lennon's protest songs, "Gimme Some Truth". I have to say, I enjoy a lot of Cuban music, but this is a pleasant surprise. Their new show is "Music with a message", but the last thing I expected was to hear RHC actually rock.

Supposedly due to listener feedback, RHC awhile back added an expanded weekend music segment. Did a top ten Cuban songs feature when I listened a week or two ago. Not sure if RHC adding more music through then week, though.

I've heard rock (Latino rock as well as western pop/rock like Paul McCartney) on R. Rebelde, so it wouldn't surprise me too much to hear of it also being played on Radio Havana.
