El Micha turns his back on exile: "The ones who made me were the Cubans, it wasn't the people from Miami who made me."

El Micha remains at the center of controversy, not only for his frequent trips to Cuba to sing but also for the positions he has taken, largely turning his back on the Cuban exile community in Miami.

In a recent interview for Tony Dandrades, the reggaeton artist made it clear that he intends to continue living in Miami and traveling to Cuba to sing for his audience, especially after his latest album for which he recorded several music videos on the island.

The reggaeton artist explained why his stance on Cuba has changed: "I realized who I am, where I come from, when you start looking back you have to realize everything you have achieved for yourself."

When Dandrades reminds him that he is living in Miami and that the government of that city doesn't like those two waters, the singer replies: “I think we are now in 2024, and we have realized that many of those who have spoken about this on this side have always done so for their own benefit, because few of those who talk about this topic on this side live poorly.”

"I will be working frequently in Cuba," the artist assured, and when Dandrades told him that people like Emilio Estefan, with whom he has worked before, would not see it well, he added: "He has to understand me (...) Emilio knows that he is my family, I love him very much, but I cannot stop being myself because of what Emilio thinks or what anyone else thinks."

“Here I already felt suffocated, I felt that I was working, that I was functioning as an artist, but there was always an attack against me, there was always an unpleasant situation for me without me having sought it out, without getting involved with anyone (...) I have already received too many blows. They have called me a police officer, they have called me a communist, everything they have wanted to say to me, so I feel the obligation to be at peace with myself, not with anyone else, I am done and my job is not to talk about politics,” asserted El Micha.

"The ones who made me were the Cubans, it was not the people from Miami who made me, it was not the people from other places, it was the Cubans who made me, the people, the folks," he says very convincingly.
