After the cast and its musical performersbecame a topic on the Mesa Redonda, the Cuban comedian Cabo Pantero decided to dedicate a few verses to this urban genre.
Showing off that humor that characterizes him, filled with innuendos and hints, Pantera made his followers laugh on social media.
The cultural atmosphere seems to be on edge if they declare the distribution national heritage / Without censorship, it’s legal, without issues, without fluff, even if there is some debate soon the entire ‘De la Gran Escena’ dedicated to Chocolate will premiere / With the distribution, one enjoys both in the plains and mountains, as soon in ‘Palmas y Cañas’ we will see La Diosa / And if I tell you something that is big for many, El Micha will make a cantata for the batey to dance because Payaso X Ley will perform it on the steps, say some of the verses.
With this humorous remark, Cabo Pantera seized the opportunity to mention several of the performers from both inside and outside the island, including some of the most popular ones at the moment.
We're going to listen to El Dray and the concert at Bellas Artes featuring Untitiko and Ja Rulay will be talked about everywhere / I know there are a thousand danceable tunes scheduled in the country, Weré will sing happily to bring flavor to the Basilica Minor of San Francisco de Asís / It will be a beautiful moment and I can already see La Colmenita playing songs from Bebeshito up close / Dany Ome and Kevincito will finally be heard, and what can I say about this idea I share, if they have already talked about distribution, let them start distributing”, concludes Cabo Pantera.
One of those who reacted in the comments with a bunch of smiling emojis was indeed Chocolate MC, who just a few days ago exploded against Randy Alonso for dedicating a Mesa Redonda to the distribution.
