The artist Reinier Villa Herrera painted an impressive mural on Calle 8 in Miami of the late Cuban singer José Manuel Carbajal, better known as El Taiger. The artistic tribute is located specifically between 16th and 17th Streets, next to El Santo Bar.
The process of creating this mural and the final result after painting it was shared by the artist Reinier Villa Herrera on his social media, where we can see the details of this artwork. In the mural, we see El Taiger depicted with a big smile, sunglasses, a chain with his name, and a crown on his head. Additionally, the phrase "La Tranka de Cuba" and the initials "LBMA," which identified the singer of "La Historia," are also included.
This mural has already become a gathering place for fans and colleagues of El Taiger, who have come to honor the memory of the artist. Among the well-known faces who have visited the mural on Calle 8 are Lenier Mesa, Tekashi 6ix9ine, Señorita Dayana, and El Micha.
Once again, this work reflects the significant impact that El Taiger has had on the Cuban community in Miami and on the island, where they also created a mural featuring the singer's face, specifically in Havana.
José Manuel Carbajal passed away on October 10 in Miami at the age of 37, just a week after being shot in the head. The singer's death has left a significant void among his loved ones and fans, who bid him farewell last weekend in Hialeah.
The mural on Calle Ocho is not only a tribute to El Taiger's artistic legacy, but also a reminder of the tragic loss that has shaken his followers in both Miami and Cuba.
