Who said that being elegant is incompatible with enjoying reggaeton? The Cuban influencer Annie Soto (@annettesoto_) has addressed those who criticize her for enjoying this musical genre and made it clear that one thing has nothing to do with the other.
Through a video posted on TikTok, the Cuban woman responded with humor and great confidence to those who believe that listening to reggaeton does not align with the image of an elegant and sophisticated woman.
"Excuse me, I can be elegant and listen to a Ya Ice Dilan like that... You have to have fun, you have to enjoy the good music, the Choco all the way down, and still be a classy lady. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," she expressed in the video, mixing English and Spanish.
And just in case his message had not been clear enough, he accompanied the post with a powerful phrase: “They have to stooooop”.
With her words, Annie Soto emphasized that enjoying the dance, dancing it, and allowing oneself to be carried away by its rhythm do not have to be related to a person's elegance, education, or social class.
The influencer even mentioned Ya Ice Dilan, one of the representatives of the Cuban scene who has gained popularity with songs like "Dichávate," a track that has helped promote the genre among audiences both inside and outside of Cuba.
The truth is that the cast continues to spark a lot of discussion on social media, where there are plenty of opposing opinions about this musical style and those who enjoy it.
In January of this year, for example, a group of Cubans received numerous criticisms for dancing reparto on board a cruise, while in April a Cuban surprised everyone by teaching a Japanese woman to dance this genre.
Opinions about the distribution have also divided public figures. Recently, the Cuban content creator Rodito questioned why this genre has become one of the main symbols of Cuban identity, while musician Alain Pérez was particularly critical, stating that "the distribution offers nothing interesting" from a technical standpoint, although he acknowledged its connection with the youth.
Amidst so many opinions, Annie Soto is clear about her stance: one can be a classy lady, enjoy the music one likes, and dance down to the floor when a good track plays.
