Cuban artists in Miami

The Cuban reggaeton artists Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13 continue in the midst of controversy for their trip to Cuba, in which they will not only perform live, but also recorded a music video in the streets of Havana.

This Friday, March 8, a group of followers gathered to witness the filming and enjoy the atmosphere of the production during the recording of the singers’ next video clip. The singers arrived on the island this Thursday, in the midst of controversy over returning after 12 years of exile.

His colleague, Yomil Hidalgo, even shared images of the filming on his Instagram profile, highlighting the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd present, in a video where the great scandal can be seen.

“Because from whom God gave it, we take it away. The vibes of our people are unique. Tell me Dany Ome and Kevincito On the 13th, this got out of hand,” he wrote.

During filming, Yomil was seen carrying the boy Rutina, a child artist from Key West, who has caused a great sensation on social networks for his Yoruba singing.

However, all the hype of the recording has not been able to remove the questions that, from exile, have fallen on the urban duet, since both to perform live and to record material, either, on the streets of Cuba, it is necessary be in good relations with the Cuban dictatorship.

The truth is that the singers have not been discreet in this regard, sharing every moment of their stay on the island through their social networks, including the presumption of certain privileges that ordinary people clearly lack.

And the singers have not been seen at all in lines to buy food, and far from suffering from the scarcity that is normal on the Island, they have walked around showing off their luxuries in the streets of a country where 90% of the population lives in extreme poverty.

In one of their latest videos, the reggaeton artists appear driving luxury cars, which several users consider unnecessary ostentation considering where they are, because they also stressed that they are aware that this is not common in the country.

“The only Mercedes (Benz) 63 in Havana,” Dany Ome happily declared while riding in the luxurious white van.

“I like their music, but seeing this disappointed me”; “That the people there are dying of hunger, that the police torture the people, that the politicians steal everything, it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters to Cubans is showing that they live better than the people”; “Instead of coming with some medicine and donating it to a hospital, they come with a concert,” were some of the comments.

The truth is that although the couple has defended themselves by stating that they want to bring their music “to Cubans on the Island,” none of their concerts will be free, and it is likely that they will be in bars in Havana, where ordinary Cubans cannot. They can’t pay their way in at all.

In addition to the above, during the recording the controversial Santiago Rivero, better known as Santy Ogbetua, could also be seen, which caused the fans’ anger and ridicule, accusing them of “snitches” and “speculators.”

Cuban reggaeton artists Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13 surprised their fans after announcing their return to Cuba after more than 12 years in exile, not only as a visit, but also with a concert in Havana.

The news caused a stir in the public, with many criticizing the decision of the reggaeton artists to perform again on the Island, since it is also known that this would imply being on good terms with the dictatorship, which is the one who controls all the spaces and facilities for this. .

After the release of their most recent musical production, which they released together, Who was he with?the artists announced the concert in their homeland, and in the face of criticism they have defended their position, justifying it with the idea of ​​bringing their music to “all Cubans.”

“If those from Cuba come here to sing to the Cubans and take the money for Cuba… Why can’t I sing to those from Cuba, who are my people too? And they don’t have the opportunity to see me,” Dany expressed from a story on her Instagram account.

This has been one of the arguments most used by artists from exile who make the decision to perform in Cuba, as has been the case of Lenier Mesa or El Micha, also from the urban genre.

Both Dany and Kevincito have already collaborated with several exile artists, one of their latest works being A childwhich they released in collaboration with Jacob Forever, on February 26.

In that sense, it is feared what repercussions returning to Cuba may have for their careers, since in cases like those of Lenier and El Micha they lost not only collaborations, but friendships with other of their peers outside the Island for cooperating. with the regime, and in the case of the latter, even defend it.

Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13 arrived at the Havana airport this Thursday, where they were received by the team of The Cuban familya local digital media, sharing photos and videos of the meeting on their social networks.

Although they traveled for business reasons, the singers also expressed missing their homeland and their families, after more than a decade away from home.

“Now we want to go back and see the family. Reconnect with who we are,” said El 13. For his part, Dany said that he was eager to sing to the public in Cuba and hear them sing his songs “up close.”

In the publication, users expressed their discontent at the news that the artists, residents of Miami, plan to perform in the capital.

“Be careful in Cuba with those watches and jewelry. I don’t see the need to go like this with so much misery there. But hey, they feel like it”; “They are going to pick up the PCC card”; “If the family is so important, bring it here and leave the falsehood behind, what audacity”; “If what they say is true, they should have a free concert, not in the most expensive bars, so that the delivery drivers can enjoy themselves,” were some of the comments.
