Yaliet Carvajal, daughter of El Taiger, moves audiences online with her rendition of "Nutella," honoring her late father. Her followers highlight her resemblance to him and her artistic sensitivity, while calling for justice.


Yaliet Carvajal, the eldest daughter of the late Cuban reggaeton artist El Taiger, continues to move her followers on social media as she adjusts to her new life in the United States. The young girl, who arrived in the country last October following her father's murder in Miami, shared a video in which she performs a song that resonated with many of the artist's fans.

In the recording, she is singing the song "Nutella," a collaboration between Charly & Johayron and El Taiger. "I won't forget you, dad," Yaliet wrote as a message accompanying the post, sparking a wave of affectionate reactions. The comments highlighted her tenderness, but also the deep melancholy reflected in her gaze.

“The daughter of my favorite singer,” commented a user. “I notice sadness in her little eyes when she sings her daddy's song,” wrote another follower. “The sadness is palpable, but it's normal; she is much older and more aware of everything,” reflected someone else.

The post quickly filled with words of encouragement and blessings. Many highlighted the striking resemblance he shares with his father, both in appearance and artistic sensitivity. Others called for justice and family unity, also remembering the musical legacy left by El Taiger.

Yaliet's gesture is more than just a simple tribute: it is a sincere expression of the love that still connects her to her father. Despite her young age, she has found in music a way to keep his memory alive.

But the emotional bond with the artist is not limited to Yaliet. From Cuba, his younger sister, Ana Paloma, has also shown how much she misses him. The little girl has starred in several videos performing songs by her father, including "St Jude," one of the most representative of his repertoire.

"I love you, Daddy. This is me every day for you," read one of the most recent messages on the little one's profile. In the recording, Ana Paloma appears singing with emotion, making it clear that the bond between them transcends physical absence. The messages came pouring in: "Just like Dad," "The legacy lives on," and "A daughter's love never dies," were some of the most frequently repeated responses.

José Manuel Carvajal Zaldívar, artistically known as El Taiger, left an indelible mark on the landscape of Cuban urban music. Today, his daughters, from different corners of the world, continue to honor his memory with what represents him best: his music.
