Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13 have just released "Paciente," their first official collaboration with Puerto Rican star Ozuna, and the fans' reaction was immediate: the official video, published this Wednesday on YouTube, surpassed 109,000 views and 14,000 likes within its first hours.
The theme is pure Cuban reparto, with lyrics that have a romantic and playful tone: the narrator declares himself a "patient" of love for a woman he cannot overcome, using the metaphor of a hospital to describe his suffering. "I got tangled up with you and it was, I felt the need... but I have become a patient", reads one of the most celebrated fragments.
The music video was filmed on a set featuring two British-style red telephone booths with the inscription "TELEPHONE", white walls, polished concrete floors, and reddish lighting. The three artists sport urban looks with gold chains, caps, and jackets, and the conclusion of the song says it all: "What does Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic say?"
The participation of Ozuna, one of the most listened-to Latin artists in the world, is the element that makes this release a milestone for the genre. The Puerto Rican not only lent his voice but fully immersed himself in the sound of the ensemble. "Ozuna sounds as if he grew up in Centro Habana," wrote a fan in the comments. Another pointed out, "The detail is not just making a song with Ozuna, it's that they had Ozuna singing in the ensemble. You all will make history."
The journey to this debut began on April 14, when Dany Ome announced on Instagram that they had recorded not one but two collaborative songs with Ozuna, describing the project as "the toughest lineup in Cuba." The next day, he published a one-minute preview that garnered over 668,000 views and 141,000 likes in just a few hours. Ozuna himself declared on TikTok: "Since yesterday I consider myself a REPARTERO!!!!"
For Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13, the collaboration arrives at a time of sustained growth.
The reaction on social media was immediate and massive. "It’s been 11 minutes since they posted it over there, and a motorcycle has already passed by my house with the song," wrote a user in one of the most applauded comments. Fans from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic flooded the comments section with messages of Caribbean pride and predictions of global success.
The Cuban music scene continues to gain international traction, and this collaboration represents its biggest endorsement to date. Dany Ome has already confirmed that a second song recorded with Ozuna is on the way, which suggests that the momentum for the genre on global platforms is just beginning.
