"They said it, man, they said it. I waited. Cuban music, man. They announced it on the news, I waited," Jardiel said with laughter in a video where a segment of the news report can be seen in the background, highlighting the tribute the urban artist paid to El Taiger, who passed away in October.
Jardiel's excitement also included criticism regarding the omission of Cuban chess player Leinier Domínguez from the Rapid Games World Championship taking place until Saturday, December 28.

"Youth, Cuban music, urban, defending the clave. We must be proud that Cuban music finally achieves the place it deserves," he noted.
