"Everyone is already waiting for it!": Willy Chirino reacts to graffiti in Cuba with the phrase 'It's on its way'

The Cuban singer Willy Chirino has once again brought attention to his iconic song Nuestro día (Ya viene llegando) after sharing an image on social media showing a mural with that iconic verse in Havana.

"Havana, Cuba. March 16, 2026. Everyone is already waiting for it," the artist wrote in their post, alongside a photograph showing the phrase "It's on its way" clearly visible on a wall in front of a building in the capital.

The image shows several people in a public space in Havana, with the slogan painted prominently, referencing one of the most recognizable phrases from Chirino's repertoire. The song, released in 1991, has remained a symbol of hope and change for many Cubans, both on and off the island, for decades.

The musician's gesture occurs within a context marked by increasing social discontent in Cuba, where in recent months there has been a surge of spontaneous expressions in public spaces—from graffiti to isolated protests—that reflect citizens' frustrations over the economic crisis, blackouts, and the lack of freedoms.

In this context, messages like "It's on its way" take on a particular resonance, connecting with an imagery of change that has gained renewed strength both within the island and in exile, following the pressure from the Trump administration and the revelations of its negotiations with the regime.

The phrase, associated for decades with the yearning for political transformation, carries a symbolic weight that transcends cultural boundaries.

These types of demonstrations, although sporadic, are usually monitored or swiftly eliminated by the authorities, which amplifies their impact when they manage to circulate on social media or remain visible in urban spaces of Havana.

Chirino's post has generated numerous reactions on social media, where users have interpreted the appearance of the phrase in the capital as a reflection of the growing fatigue with the official discourse and the desire for change among large sectors of the population.

So far, no details are known about the authorship of the artwork or how long it remained visible, a common factor in this type of intervention in Cuban public space.

The reappearance of "Ya viene llegando" in Havana, along with the reaction of the artist himself, once again places this slogan at the center of the digital debate during a particularly sensitive time for the country.
