Followers of José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar (El Taiger) gathered on Saturday afternoon to pay their respects at the family chapel in the Colón Cemetery in Havana.
The Facebook user Pedro Luis García shared photos of the tribute, which was attended by around a hundred people.
"Fans arrived with bouquets of flowers and T-shirts featuring the singer's photo, while his music played through a loudspeaker," reported the author of the post.
On Friday, December 20, the remains of El Taiger were moved to a new chapel in the Colón Necropolis, where they rest alongside those of his mother, Magdalena Zaldívar.
Her former manager, Teresa Padrón, shared images on Instagram of how the building turned out after several weeks of renovation.
"Promise fulfilled," she wrote in one of her Instagram stories, as she wished for the reggaeton artist's final resting place to be alongside his mother.
In the location, there is a tombstone covering the remains of Magdalena, which bears the dates of her birth and death along with the words "challenge fulfilled." Above it rests the urn containing the ashes of the singer, which were relocated from Miami.
In the background, a photo of El Taiger looking up at the sky and a Cuban flag.
