Spanish singer shows what he ate at a restaurant in Havana and gets flooded with criticism.

The Compostela singer Erin Castro, known as "El Trapicista," has caused a stir on TikTok after sharing a video where he showed how much a meal at a restaurant in Havana had cost him.

The young artist recently shared on social media the video -recorded in April of this year, as noted in comments- where he showed how "cheap" the prices he had paid were.

In his viral video, @eltrapicista detailed that he and a friend enjoyed a pizza, various types of tapas, including one with lobster, and four mojitos, all for a total of 3,750 Cuban pesos, equivalent to approximately 10 euros. "It's crazy how cheap it was," commented the artist, who is known for his role in Compostela rap.

User reactions were immediate, and in the comments, criticisms, reproaches, and questions have piled up for celebrating a 'reality' that is far from what Cubans themselves experience.

Many users criticized him for celebrating them without taking into account the low salaries in Cuba and the terrible economic reality that most of the population on the island faces.

"It's a damn shame, and the Cuban doesn't earn that"; "The big question, how much does a retiree earn? My mother earns 1200 Cuban pesos, do you think she can eat in a place like that?" are some of the messages that have followed his post and reflect the discontent with his publication.

"Look, my child, you can do that. Have you asked yourself if any Cuban can? Look at the average salary of a Cuban"; "I am from Cuba and only those who travel there and sell currency on the black market can afford that, and it's true that when you compare it to the euro, it is much cheaper than here in Spain"; "I wish the Cuban could do the same, they have no idea how difficult it is to make money in Cuba"; "Well, for you it's cheap, for the Cuban living there it cannot be paid. Before making this kind of advertisement, get well informed, a retired Cuban earns 1,080 Cuban pesos," some elaborated.

"You can eat with money you don't earn in Cuba; ordinary Cubans can't even dream of that feast." "In a restaurant, it's easy, brother. Go to someone's house and see what they eat and how much it costs." "For foreigners, it's cheap, and if you live in Cuba, how can you pay that bill for ordinary Cubans?" "Yes, but those who are struggling don't get that money even in a month; they can't even afford a dozen eggs. So tell the true reality." "A pension is at 2800 at most, a more decent salary is 5000; you have no idea how difficult it is to eat in Cuba when a can of chili, which is just for seasoning, costs 500 pesos." "Your comment is offensive to Cubans," others mentioned.

"My people are dying of hunger, misery, and oppression under a bitch dictatorship for more than 60 years, but you are having a great time"; "How much did the dictatorship pay you? Or was it Pedro showing socialism in its fullest splendor? What a shame you bring, all those little businesses are government-owned or sponsored by them, strength to my brothers"; "You can afford it, but Cubans cannot. Keep oxygenating the dictatorship"; "I would like to see you buying food and giving it to the ordinary citizens who have nothing to eat, who are the majority thanks to the communist dictatorship, greetings from a Spanish person"; "If I weren't Cuban and didn't know the actual misery that exists, I would say that living in Cuba is great. Fantastic promotion for the dictatorship," reacted indignantly others to the video by El Trapicista, who has shared more videos of his stay on the island.

In his defense, "El Trapicista" responded to several comments clarifying that his video aimed to show the price difference between Spain and Cuba, and that he is aware of how difficult it is for a Cuban to spend that money on a meal.

Reactions on TikTok continue to grow, with users debating the disparity in prices and salaries in Cuba and grievances that although prices may seem affordable for tourists, for most Cubans they are an unattainable luxury.

On Erin's YouTube channel, for its part, the clip filmed in Cuba has been available for two months, which at the time of this note has accumulated 38,000 views.
