A video circulating on TikTok shows the popular Cuban influencer La Cintumbare recording a song in a recording studio in Cuba, but what has attracted the most attention is not the song itself, but her a cappella performance, without any accompaniment or digital editing.
During the segment that has sparked reactions on social media, La Cintumbare sings directly into the microphone, revealing her natural voice without the enhancements that often accompany many current music productions.
As expected, the video went viral and social media did not hold back. Among the hundreds of comments generated by the post, some stand out, filled with irony and open criticism of the talent (or lack thereof) displayed by many popular figures today:
"She is possessed by the Demon of noise pollution," wrote a user.
"If I had known that anyone could be an artist in the 2000s, I wouldn't have studied and would have waited for this time," commented another.
"And is that music? The talents these days... It's unbelievable what we're seeing, and yet we continue to support this kind of disrespect," commented another internet user.
Although La Cintumbare has gained notoriety on social media for her extroverted personality and unique style, this video has reopened the debate on the artistic quality of some emerging figures in Cuban urban music, as well as the use—and abuse—of digital arrangements in the studio.
