Since El Taiger passed away on October 10, the pain of his departure has resonated among his people, his fans, colleagues, and friends and family who have not stopped mourning his loss, although his legacy will endure forever.
Among the expressions of affection, the young Cuban Yansel Martinez (@yansel.m) shared a moving rap on TikTok (@yance2516) and Instagram, paying tribute to the singer, remembering him as "the tranka" of the country.
The lyrics of the rap convey the deep pain left by his death, while exalting the talent and connection he had with the Cuban people. "Damn, there's no comfort / A whole nation mourns you today / What a strong pain, man / I can't process this right now," Yansel sings, reflecting the feelings of all those who still cannot come to terms with his departure.
Yansel uploaded this tribute just two days after the tragic death of El Taiger. The song remembers both the mistakes and virtues of the artist, assuring that his legacy will remain alive: "Your voice was a treasure that shone like gold / All of Cuba shouts loudly from your songs all the choruses."
The reaction from users has followed the same emotional tone as the composition, with some praising Yansel's talent and the emotional power of his message.
Here we leave you the full lyrics of Yansel's rap:
"Damn, there is no comfort, an entire town mourns you today What a strong pain, my friend, I can’t process this now So full of talent and a life ahead A country that saw you as its best singer Anyone can make mistakes; that you didn’t deserve You had a thousand flaws, but a soul that was worth it Your voice was a treasure that shone like gold All of Cuba shouts loud with all your songs Surely it was your mother who said 'welcome' And told you that in the land, all your fans are hurting But Jose, I assure you that your singing remains pure The strength of my country in the present and the future One countryman killed another, you predicted it yourself Surely that point must feel very alone and sad A tiger never dies, you are the voice of joy A legacy that doesn’t cease, fly high, God guides you."
With this emotional tribute, Yansel joins other fans and artists who, since they learned that El Taiger was fighting for his life in the hospital after being shot and later, when he lost the battle, have continuously paid homage to him and kept his music and legacy alive.
