WATCH: Rolling Stones rock Cuba

Ending a Latin America tour in Havana, the British rock band performed a set list that included many of their biggest hits, including “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Paint it Black” in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands, NBC News reported. The concert occurred days after President Obama became the first sitting president to visit Cuba since 1928 to further thaw diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba.

After the Cuban revolution in the 1950s, which saw revolutionary fighter Fidel Castro, followed by his brother Raul, become leaders of the Caribbean island nation, rock music like that of the Rolling Stones, was banned from being played in public for decades. The Castro regime considered the music a corrupting influence.

Now, like the renewed ties with the U.S., the country’s outlook has changed on music.

“Here we are finally. We are sure that this night is going to be an unforgettable night, for you and for us,” Stones lead singer Mick Jagger said to the crowd, in which many people could be seen wearing the band’s signature tongue and lips logo.

“We know that years ago it was difficult to listen to our music here in Cuba, but here we are, playing for you in your beautiful land. I think that finally things have changed, haven’t they?” Jagger added.
