Cuban content creator Anthony Vila (@anthony_vila_real) has created a sensation on social media after posting a video in which he performs a curious ceremony dedicated to "San Amazon," a parody inspired by the rituals of Afro-Cuban religions.
In the clip, which has quickly gone viral within the Cuban community in Florida, Vila appears in front of an altar with a glass of water, fruits, and a lit candle.
In a solemn tone, the influencer asks his peculiar “saint” not to let work fall short, for people to stop using robots, and for conditions to improve for Amazon delivery drivers, many of whom are Cuban and rely on those deliveries to make a living.
The humorous ritual has sparked a wave of comments on Instagram. Some users praised the creativity and satirical touch of the Cuban, while others interpreted it as a critique of the labor system and the increasing automation in the United States.
With his characteristic humor and social critique, Anthony Vila reconnected with his audience, reflecting the daily struggles of thousands of Cubans working in Amazon delivery in Florida.
