Cuban singer Yulién Oviedo has sparked a debate on social media after commenting on a post by Colombian artist Karol G, who shared a photo promoting her new collaboration with various Colombian artists, conveying a message of unity and pride for her country. Yulién Oviedo wrote in the comments: “Colombians united, and us Cubans, when will it be?”
In this song, Karol G teams up with several prominent Colombian artists, including Feid, DFZM, Ovy On The Drums, J Balvin, Maluma, Ryan Castro, and Blessd, to create a track that has been embraced as an anthem of pride and unity in their country. Since its release, the single has already garnered over 2.7 million views on YouTube.
In his message on Bichota's post, Yulién Oviedo expresses a desire to see a similar unity among Cuban artists. This comment has resonated with some users, who began to respond, supporting the idea and sharing their opinions on the lack of cohesion in the Cuban music industry.
One follower commented, “Oh, it would be lovely, especially after what happened with José, if they joined together, but..." suggesting that a union of Cuban artists would be particularly meaningful after the death of José Manuel Carbajal, better known as El Taiger. Another user replied to Oviedo with a supportive message: “Exactly, Oviedo,” while others expressed hope and wishes for a change in the attitude of Cuban musicians.
However, not all responses were positive. One user commented, “When the dictatorship falls,” suggesting that the lack of unity stems from the political system. In response to this comment, Yulién Oviedo replied directly: “Outdated mindset of always blaming the government; what needs to fall is the artistic ego; alone, we’re going nowhere,” emphasizing that the issue goes beyond the government and points to an attitude problem within the artistic community itself.
And you, can you imagine a collaboration like that with various Cuban artists today?
What do you think?
