The Cuban singer-songwriter Descemer Bueno reacted to the controversy surrounding the lawsuit filed against the urban duo Charly & Johayron for using the image of the late reggaeton artist El Taiger with artificial intelligence without permission.
In a post by CiberCuba on their official Facebook profile, regarding the stance of the former manager of El Taiger, Teresa Padrón, regarding the lawsuit, Descemer did not hesitate to clarify his opinion and show his public support for Charly & Johayron.
"The consequence of these erroneous attitudes is the death of a catalog that unfortunately the artist can no longer defend", wrote the musician in the comments.
Descemer emphasized that artists like Charly & Johayron contribute to keeping El Taiger's legacy alive through spontaneous tributes, which, according to him, also boosts his musical heritage: “Thanks to gestures like these from artists who fill venues that even Taiger himself didn't fill during his lifetime, they promote his catalog and his heritage; these are more than subliminal details that encourage consumers to continue listening to the music of a deceased artist. Honestly, I don't think they have the money to pay for this kind of promotions to any of the artists who do it for free, specifically to help a vulnerable family.”
The author of "Bailando" was forceful in criticizing the decision to take legal action over something he considers a show of respect towards a deceased colleague: “It is a shame and even more a disgrace that the ignorance of some who are far from understanding this business ends up trampling on the joy of a fighting spirit like Jose's, this is the last thing you needed, my brother, if you don't know, ask; look for expert Entertainment lawyers, this is why I don’t have managers, nor do I want one, because those who understood this business have already disappeared or there are very few left.”
The tribute made by Charly & Johayron to El Taiger at their concert last Saturday at the Watsco Center in Miami, using artificial intelligence to recreate the singer's image, has sparked considerable controversy, especially after the lawsuit against them became known.
Several artists such as El Kamel, Wow Popy, and the very creator of the AI images of El Taiger have come out in defense of the popular duo, along with their fans.
