A huge crowd gathered in Havana, Cuba for a Peace concert "Peace without Borders" on Sunday, September 20, 2009. The concert has met with controversy, as American Cubans stated the concert sponsored the Cuban regime. Estimates of the number of attendants range from several hundreds of thousands, to 1,15 million. It was the biggest turn-up since the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1998.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/21/world/americas/21cuba.htmlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8265177.stm
