El "Blackout Tuesday" que anuncian los músicos en honor a George Floyd

Tras el asesinato de George Floyd, las protestas se han tomado las calles de Estados Unidos, sumando también a diversos artistas y músicos, quienes anunciaron un "Blackout Tuesday". 

Este "paro musical" en honor a George Floyd se concretará este martes dos de junio, donde músicos y sellos discográficos han anunciado una jornada para "desconectarnos del trabajo y reconectarnos con nuestra comunidad".

Se trata de una medida para condenar los crímenes de odio y crear conciencia ante la violencia policial.  Entre los sellos discográficos que se han sumado están Capitol Music Group, Empire, Warner Music y Sony/ATV, así como músicos de la talla de Mick Jagger y Beyoncé.

It’s hard to know what to say because I’ve been dealing with racism my entire life. That said, it’s rearing its ugly head right now & by God it’s time to deal with it once & for all. My team & I stand for justice. Convos will be had & action will be taken. #THESHOWMUSTBEPAUSED pic.twitter.com/0pehqgGN6o
