The concert that Charly and Johayron held on April 12 at the Watsco Center in Miami, which brought together thousands of fans in what has been described as a complete success, could have legal consequences following an unexpected virtual appearance by the deceased reggaeton artist El Taiger.
The show, which featured special appearances by artists such as Lenny Tavárez, Lenier Mesa, and Divan, experienced one of its most impactful moments when a hyper-realistic projection created with artificial intelligence "brought back to life" El Taiger on stage.
During the performance of several songs that the artist recorded with the urban duo, the digital recreation had a strong emotional impact on the audience and went viral on social media.
However, the presentation also sparked controversy. The mothers of El Taiger's daughters, particularly the one residing in Cuba, have announced that they will take legal action against Charly and Johayron for using the singer's image without authorization.
According to a spokesperson lawyer for the case in a video shared on social media, the artist's appearance did not have the family's consent or legal approval for its use.
"They knew that if they proceeded with that project, legal action would be taken. They must respect the memory of José Manuel, as well as his family and his daughters," stated the lawyer, who also described the action as a "violation of the artist's rights to image and intellectual property."
So far, neither Charly nor Johayron have publicly commented on the announcement of the lawsuit.
