The popular Cuban duo Charly & Johayron has broken their silence following the controversy sparked by the tribute they paid to reggaeton artist El Taiger, using artificial intelligence during their concert at the Watsco Center in Miami.
Through their social media, the performers shared images of the show that, according to them, marked a turning point in their careers. Despite the controversy, they did not shy away from including among the photos the emotional moment of the tribute, where a virtual representation of El Taiger appeared on stage.
In the post, they accompanied the images with a message filled with emotion and gratitude: “Thank you, life, for allowing us to experience such special moments and for having the best audience in the world. All of this was a dream; today it is one of the most beautiful realities of our lives. God does not give anyone wrong dreams; never stop dreaming!”
The singers expressed their gratitude to those who made the show possible, highlighting that it was a night that “went down in the history of Cuban music,” and they sent a special message to their fans and peers in the industry: “Thank you to everyone who made this night possible, which went down in the history of Cuban music, to all our colleagues, and especially to that wonderful audience that never leaves us alone. We love you! Jose forever. Los lápices”.
The mention of El Taiger implies that, despite the lawsuit filed against him by the mothers of the daughters of the late reggaeton artist, they feel good about having dedicated this tribute to José Manuel Carbajal, one of the artists who supported them the most at the beginning of their career.
Fans of El Taiger and other urban artists have come to the defense of Charly & Johayron, stating that it was a very nice gesture to keep their legacy alive.
