The Cuban presenter Alexander Otaola did not hold back this Thursday while reacting to a viral video featuring La Cintumbare singing live at a nightclub in Cuba. During the broadcast of his show "Hola! Ota-Ola," the influencer launched a tirade against the controversial figure for her performance.
"When you hear La Cintumbare doing this, Chocolate seems like Beethoven to you. Chocolate seems like a master of masters to you," Otaola remarked critically while comparing the musical performance of the singer with that of the reggaeton artist Chocolate MC.
The presenter harshly questioned the vocal abilities of La Cintumbare and what, in his opinion, this performance represents for contemporary Cuban music.
“Listen to La Cintumbare on one side and the music on the other. What is this, gentlemen? This is nothing, it amounts to nothing, this woman has neither melody nor musicality. Look at what we have been spared,” he stated.
The excerpt from the program has been widely circulated on social media, where followers and detractors of both artists have exchanged conflicting opinions.
La Cintumbare, known for its controversial content and irreverent style, has gained notoriety in recent months, while Otaola continues to use his platform to comment on and criticize various aspects of Cuban entertainment, both on the island and abroad.
