The Cuban group Los 3 de La Habana was invited to the inauguration of the president-elect Donald Trump next Monday, and to perform this Saturday at the Official Hispanic Inaugural Gala in Washington.
The important celebration will feature the presence of future Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who will serve as honorary host, as well as the leaders Javier Milei from Argentina and Edmundo González Urrutia from Venezuela.
The group, the only Cuban participant at the event, will be responsible for closing the gala with a broad performance featuring Cuban rhythms, culminating the night with a grand dance.
The members of the band are the authors and performers of the song Trump Song, which was used by Trump himself in his 2020 presidential campaign to attract the Latino vote. With its chorus 'I am going to vote for Donald Trump,' it became a symbol for the Hispanic electorate supporting the Republican politician.
"We made a significant contribution, I understand that, but we did it with all our hearts. This was not paid; it came from the heart, and I believe people received it that way," confessed Germán Pinelli to Telemundo 51.
For the three voices of the group: Pinelli, grandson of the presenter and actor Germán Pinelli (1907-1996) and son of musician Tony Pinelli, Ana Páez, and her son Tirso Luis Páez, who arrived in Miami in 2007, attending the inauguration of the leader is a dream come true.
Ana confessed to the Miami television network that she would like to tell Trump not to forget about the dictatorships in Latin America or the hopes that many people have placed in him.
"May it help us make Cuba great again," emphasized Germán.
In February of last year, Los 3 de La Habana performed at the residence of the elected president in Mar-a-Lago during a party organized to promote and boost his candidacy for the presidential elections in November.
