Cuban content creator Félix Cabrera Álvarez (@felix.alvarezzz) has gone viral with a video that parodies the fuel crisis in Cuba, using the audio from a negotiation between well-known jewelers in Miami.
In the sketch, it simulates the purchase of a tank of gasoline in Havana, where the liter costs around 6 dollars due to the severe shortage.
The scene gains intensity thanks to the original audio of a negotiation over a Rolex watch between Cuban-American jeweler Carlos Marcelín and his colleague Noel Serrano (Bling Bling).
The phrase “Don’t heat up my stuff” fits perfectly into the alleged transaction of fuel, creating a contrast between the luxury of watchmaking in Miami and the daily hardships on the island, where a liter of gasoline is as valuable as gold.
The video has generated numerous reactions on social media. Many users claim that the audio is suitable for any negotiation in Cuba, while others praise the creativity of the young influencer.
The parody reflects how humor becomes a release valve in the face of crisis, transforming a complex situation into a viral phenomenon that resonates with the reality of thousands of Cubans.
