The charisma, flavor, and humor of Cubans are going viral on social media once again, thanks to a video featuring two elderly women who have captured the hearts of thousands of internet users.
User Lina Hernández shared a video on her Facebook account showing her dancing alongside another woman to a song performed by the Cuban reggaeton artist Chocolate MC.
However, the detail that has sparked laughter and admiration from many is the title of the video: "La Felton and the Guiteras that do not synchronize."
The name, infused with popular humor and references to everyday Cuban life, alludes to the well-known thermal power plants Lidio Ramón Pérez (Felton) and Antonio Guiteras, two energy facilities that are frequently mentioned in official reports due to their ongoing technical issues and difficulties in remaining synchronized within the national electricity grid.
In the images, one can see the two ladies moving with enthusiasm and energy, although clearly out of sync, which lends itself to an ironic parallel with the electricity-generating plants.
The video has generated an avalanche of reactions on social media, with thousands of comments celebrating the spontaneity, ingenuity, and joyful spirit of the protagonists.
"This is Cuba," "They're a show," "I love them," users comment on the post, which has already garnered thousands of views and has been widely shared on Cuban entertainment pages.
The video not only entertains but also reflects how Cubans find creative and satirical ways to cope with the daily challenges they face, especially during times of blackouts, shortages, and social tensions.
The subtle critique delivered through humor has become a popular means of expression that many Cubans, both abroad and on the island, are able to identify with.
Once again, the Cuban people demonstrate that, even amid shortages, laughter, rhythm, and creativity never fade.
