The Cuban influencer Cinthya Medrano, better known as La Cintumbare, did not go unnoticed this Friday, March 21st, during the concert of Alexander Abreu and Havana D’Primera at the Johnny Club in Havana. Amid the musical excitement, the influencer ended up on stage dancing alongside the musician and delivering a message that left many speechless: “Enjoy, live, don't cry, don't give up, and move forward.”
The moment was captured in several videos that the influencer shared on social media, accompanied by the phrase "I needed this." Her appearance sparked a flood of reactions: while some applauded her for "enjoying life without complexes," others criticized what they perceived as a complete lack of sensitivity towards the realities of the country.
And indeed, La Cintumbare is no stranger to controversy. Just a few days ago, she was criticized for mocking the power outages in Cuba during a party, beer in hand, stating: “There is no electricity in Cuba, but I have it!”. This attitude, combined with her frequent appearances at high-profile social events, has caused discomfort among those who experience daily the consequences of the energy and economic crisis.
Even so, he has a very active fan club. Comments like “The land of one’s salt or sugar is one’s own” and “Enjoy, you deserve it” flooded social media after his appearance at the concert. For many of his followers, his carefree style represents a form of “emotional resistance” against the daily grind.
But not everyone is happy with his presence on stages like that of Alexander Abreu. Criticism on social media questioned the musician himself for allowing such a controversial figure to take the stage. "What a shame," "This looks like a parody," and "Alexander, where have you fallen to?" were some of the messages that circulated after the show.
Meanwhile, La Cintumbare continues to do what she does best: billing, provoking, and making herself known. Her return to Cuba, after being deported from the United States, has been anything but discreet. Amid parties, speeches, ventures, and controversies, her name continues to spark conversation… for better or worse.
