The party is on in social media! Chequera, the popular character brought to life by Mario Sardiñas, couldn't resist the challenge thrown by Oniel Bebeshito and dove right into the competition with style, playfulness, and an internet connection in “snake mode.”
“Show business, Bebeshito, did you think that Cheque, the showman, wouldn’t be in your challenge? Pipo, I was the first to record this little video, I sent it to you three days ago, but you know the connection here is on slow mode, extremely poor. So count on me because I’m the one who’s going to sing this song with you. Check it out, you’re going to like it,” Chequera declared in his classic style, while showcasing his flavorful version.
The comedian threw in his own verse with rhyme and social critique included: “Here’s Chequera with a tremendous joy / The guy who dresses with tremendous flair / He loves the party, he loves the fun, what he doesn’t like is when they cut the power / That’s why I say I can’t see, oh Bebeshito I can’t see you, they cut off my electricity that’s why I can’t see you.”
With this artistic diss track, Chequera made it clear that he's not playing around. "I am the chosen one," he confidently asserted like an established reggaeton artist or at least a potential influencer.
The best part of the video was Chequera's look; he appeared in an outfit that left everyone speechless: a yellow t-shirt featuring SpongeBob's screaming face, a matching cap with the character's eyes, retro white glasses with a quintessential 2000s diva flair, a shiny blue fanny pack, black bermuda shorts with double pink and white cuffs, fluorescent orange sneakers that could light up all of Havana during a blackout, and on top some green socks with tropical designs, because the swing is not improvised.
A fusion of tropical fashion and cartoons that shouts to the four winds that fashion is attitude.
After selecting the four girls finalists of his challenge, Bebeshito focused on the four male finalists and confessed that the decision was the hardest of all due to the talent he discovered.
