The tragic news of the passing of José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar, known artistically as El Taiger, has left a deep void in the world of Cuban reggaeton. Among those most affected by the loss is Damián, who, along with El Taiger, formed the popular duo Los Desiguales, which marked an important stage in urban music in Cuba.

Damián expressed his pain through an emotional message posted on Instagram, in which he recalled his deep connection with El Taiger. "I know I still have my heart because I feel it beating. I am completely destroyed inside right now," said the singer, who compared his current pain to the one he felt when he lost his father, highlighting the magnitude of this loss for him.

"I only know that now you are with the fat one and your dad. You can’t imagine how sad you left your brothers, friends, followers, and fans. I promise you that we will remember you forever. I wanted to convince myself that this is a nightmare from which I will wake up and say: what a scare! It was all a nightmare, unfortunately, it is not, but you will live on forever in my heart, my little brother José," the singer added, mentioning that the singer is now with his mother and father, who passed away in 2020.

With these words, Damián shows the profound affection and the unbreakable bond that tied him to El Taiger, and makes it clear that his legacy will remain in the memory of those who loved and admired him.

El Taiger and Damian founded Los Desiguales after leaving the group Los 4, led by Jorge Jr. They became one of the most popular and influential duos in the urban scene. Among their hits are "De maravilla," "La contestadora," "No me calientes," "Yo sigo aquí," among others. At that time, José Manuel was known as El Príncipe.
