Here is Rototom Sunsplash’s declaration regarding the
cancellation of Matisyahu:
1. Rototom Sunsplash
rejects anti-Semitism and any form of discrimination towards the Jewish
community; we respect both their culture as religious beliefs and we sincerely
apologize for what has occurred, thereby rectifying point in the previous
release regarding this controversy.2. Rototom Sunsplash would like to publicly apologize to Matisyahu for having cancelled his concert and invite him to perform at the festival next Saturday 22 August, as was initially programmed in the lineup.
3. Rototom Sunplash admits that it made a mistake, due to the boycott and the campaign of pressure, coercion and threats employed by the BDS País Valencià because it was perceived that the normal functioning of the festival could be threatened. All of which prevented the organization from reasoning clearly as to how to deal with the situation properly.
4. After 22 years of history, Rototom Sunsplash reaffirms its commitment to a Culture of Peace and respect between cultures, including the freedom of belief as recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Spanish Constitution.
