Can you imagine the evolution of the distribution in Cuba narrated from a historical perspective? The Cuban comedian, known in the social media world as Capitán Diez, thought of recounting the development of this urban genre while greatly altering the history of the island.
The result is a super fun video in which every association between the cast members, their music, and the history of Cuba is a tremendous occurrence.
"My name is Jesús María Hernández and I am a repa, a repartero. Asere, I started in this business of being a repartero when I was just a little baby. I inherited reparterismo and my name from my mom; her name was María Mercedes Martínez, but they called her 'La Triple M'," begins Capitán Diez, with a wardrobe and a way of speaking very much in the repartero style, fully embodying the character.
However, the part of his monologue that makes people laugh the most is the following: "Here in Cuba, the repartero movement emerged on October 10 at the La Demajagua estate, thanks to Elvis Manuel de Céspedes who gives freedom to the reparteros. That was a groundbreaking day that has as a precedent the Aponte Conspiracy that I'm referring to. After that, the first female repartero appears, Marianao Grajales, and then the reparteros start to organize into groups and the bonchevique party emerges."
The allusions to the history of Cuba with such boldness are very clever, but in the end, it really takes the cake with phrases like “my favorite actor is Harryson Ford,” referring to the Cuban performer who is making a career in the Dominican Republic, “I don’t typically eat sweets, but I like choco, chocolate,” and especially when he says that when it comes to music, he likes the trova, “Pablo Milanés, the one who sings ‘Bajanda, bajanda, eternally bajanda’.” There is no doubt that the imagination and ideas of Capitán Diez know no bounds.
