Alexis Valdés dedicates a song to El Taiger: "Wishing you a speedy recovery and may you continue to give us beautiful craziness."

"A tango for José," reacted Alain Pérez to the theme.


The renowned Cuban actor and comedian Alexis Valdés has deeply moved his followers by dedicating a special song to El Taiger, who is in critical condition after being shot in the head last Thursday in Miami.

Valdés shared the tribute on his Instagram account, accompanied by a message full of affection for the reggaeton singer. "For Jose @el_taiger and all those wonderful crazy people who make us laugh, sing, dance, dream... The Loco."

Before performing the song a cappella with guitar in hand, Alexis opened with some heartfelt words: "I want to sing this song that I just wrote for Jose, I don’t know if I wrote it or if it was sent to me, in any case, it is to share it with you all, with everyone who loves and admires him," he said.

In the end, after his performance, the Cuban presenter also closed the video with a message full of hope and good wishes for El Taiger's recovery: "For Jose and all the good crazies, those crazies we sometimes don't understand, sometimes we pretend to judge, but we don't realize that in that source of madness there is also a source of wonder, because blessed be those crazies who make us laugh, sing, dance, dream, feel, crazies who make our lives better, especially for you, Jose, to get well, to recover, and to keep giving us beautiful craziness."

The reactions were quick to come, with messages full of affection from figures in art and music. The singer Alain Pérez commented: "A tango for José," while Claudia Valdés, Alexis's partner, expressed her support with heart icons, Cuban flags, a candle, and a tiger referencing the musical nickname of José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar. Other artists like Baby Lores also left their mark with several hearts.

Followers of Alexis and El Taiger also expressed their feelings with messages full of emotion and hope. "Beautiful song, so much feeling"; "You are nothing more than a talented human being!!! Bravo, wow"; "So much humanity in your heart, Alexis Valdés, and so much beauty in craziness... Blessed be you, blessed be El Taiger, and blessed may we all be today and always"; "What a beautiful song, what feeling, what a good heart you have... a thousand thanks for sharing your talent"; "Among all the countless talents you have, you are above all a great human being. I congratulate and admire you for your big heart"; "I hope it reaches the angels and saves his life. It’s a very sensitive song, thank you for sharing it"; "How great you are"; "I prefer good crazies over bad sane people"; "Record that"; "Wowwww! Thank you, thank you, thank you! And may El Taiger recover with his madness"; "Simply thank you"; "I take my hat off"; "I admire you, Alexis, for who you are and what you do"; "Blessings for El Taiger and for you"; "Bravo, Alexis, may God hear your words and heal José," they said.

This new tribute to the urban artist adds to many others that have occurred since Thursday, when it was reported that El Taiger had been hospitalized in critical condition after being shot in the head. Not only fans, influencers, or artists have flooded social media with chains of prayers and good wishes, gone to the outskirts of the hospital where he remains, or paid tribute in various provinces of Cuba, but other colleagues have dedicated musical pieces to him, such as Charly & Johayron, Lenier Mesa, or the Miami artist TK'Flow.
