The Cuban artist continues to break boundaries. A TikTok user known as Lenny Rey (@lennyreycuba) posted a version of "Dichávate" sung in Mandarin Chinese, a video of just over a minute that has amassed 149,000 views, 13,400 "likes," and more than 5,000 shares in just two days.
The video was published on Tuesday with a description that was both simple and revealing: "Dichávate (chino). Help me share so it reaches the artist." The request reflects the enthusiasm of fans who have contributed to the international spread of the song since its release.
«Dichávate» premiered on December 24, 2025, by Ya Ice Dilan, Rey Tony, Helabusador, and DJ Honda, under the label JIP Music Global, and within a few months, it became one of the biggest international successes of the Cuban cast.
The numbers reflect its reach: over 112 million streams on Spotify, more than 96 million on YouTube, and over 14 million posts generated on TikTok. In Spain, the song reached the fourth position on the list of the 50 most streamed songs on Spotify and remained on the charts for 126 days, accumulating over 32.7 million streams in that country.
The Mandarin version shared by Lenny Rey is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather another example of the increasing presence of the Cuban cast on Asian social media.
In April 2026, the South Korean k-pop group NTX released a dance challenge video that exceeded 330,000 views in three days. Shortly after, a Korean woman danced «Dichávate» with her newborn baby in a video that accumulated more than 139,600 views in less than 24 hours. In Japan, a dancer and her Cuban partner fused street dance and classical ballet in videos that also went viral.
In the rest of the world, the song has also continued to gain followers. Maluma also shared a video to the rhythm of the song, which reached 4.2 million views on TikTok. Vinícius Júnior joined the hype by sharing the song on Instagram, while footballer Alejandro Grimaldo sang and danced to "Dichávate" during a celebration in Madrid.
El reparto is an urban genre that emerged in the popular neighborhoods of Havana between 2006 and 2010, with roots in reggaeton, timba, rumba, and guaguancó. Its international expansion accelerated with TikTok starting in 2021, and "Dichávate" significantly contributed to broadening its reach beyond Cuban borders.
That the Havana rhythm now resonates in one of the most spoken languages on the planet showcases how far Cuban music can reach, thanks to social media and the enthusiasm of its fans.
