Teresa, manager of El Taiger, remembers the reggaeton artist a month after his passing: "I have to accept the harsh reality."

Teresa Padrón, the manager of the late Cuban reggaeton artist José Manuel Carvajal Zaldívar, known artistically as El Taiger, shared an emotional message on Instagram to mark one month since the singer's passing. Accompanying a tribute video, Teresa conveyed her sorrow and gratitude towards El Taiger, describing him as a unique and unforgettable person in her life.

"My dear friend, you were and will always be one of a kind," wrote Teresa, expressing the deep sadness caused by the absence of her friend and colleague and mentioning the void his death has left in her daily life. "I am deeply pained by your departure, José," she continued in her message, adding that while she is grateful to God for having had the chance to know him, she regrets not having had more time to share with him.

"Today marks one month without you. Today I must accept the harsh reality that I will no longer see you, that we will no longer talk, that there will be no more laughter and jokes between us, no more calls at all hours; I will no longer hear your voice, your cries, or your joy," the young woman wrote alongside the video.

With words full of emotion, Teresa also expressed her hope of one day reuniting with El Taiger, saying, "I love you, my little one, fly high and may God watch over you in heaven. One day, we will meet again." These words reflect the pain of her loss.

The artistic community and its followers continue to show their support and pay tribute to the musical and personal legacy of El Taiger, who passed away on October 10, 2024, leaving an indelible mark on reggaeton and on all those who knew him closely.

On another note, Teresa Padrón is seeking support from other artists for a petition that demands the Miami-Dade prosecutor charge Damián Valdez-Galloso with first-degree murder for the musician's death. On her Instagram account, Teresa urged the artistic community and the public to share the link to the petition, arguing that the current second-degree murder charge does not adequately reflect the severity of the crime. Valdez's next hearing is scheduled for November 22, and Teresa expressed her concern about a possible plea deal that might reduce his sentence.
