Cuban punk rocker planning to return to Cuba

MEXICO CITY — A Cuban punk rocker known for raunchy lyrics criticizing Fidel Castro says he will try to return to the island after an 11-month absence, but fears the communist government may not let him in.

Gorki Aguila of the group Porno for Ricardo says he wants to see his 13-year-old daughter and his friends in Cuba.

The 41-year-old Aguila says he will take a flight from Mexico City to Cuba on Wednesday.

During an interview Monday, he wore a T-shirt printed with the words “Che Guevara International Murderer Oppressor of the Cuban People.”

Aguilar was convicted of public disorder in Cuba in August 2008. He paid a fine of 600 pesos ($28) and was released, and later left Cuba.
