The Cuban music group Los 3 de La Habana addressed a negative review published on Google against their Café Cantante Restaurante in Miami this Wednesday, claiming that it is a deliberate attempt to harm their business because they hired the comedian Cuqui La Mora.
The review, signed by a user identified as Lyliam, awarded the establishment a single star and left the following message: “I do not recommend it, especially seeing that they hire people like cuqui la mora.” The group publicly responded through their Facebook page with a message rejecting the use of commercial platforms as a tool for ideological pressure.
"We regret that you use this space to try to harm a business simply because you do not share the views of an artist," wrote the group members in their public response.
The text continues: "Tolerance does not consist of only respecting those who think like us. Using a commercial review to promote a boycott over ideological differences does not contribute to the respect that we all deserve. Unlike you, we do not discriminate against anyone for their ideas."
The incident occurs days after two Cuqui La Mora shows were canceled in Texas and Arizona, just 48 hours after the legislative elections on November 3, in which the Democrats regained control of Congress.
The comedian, whose real name is Aleanis Jáuregui, stated in an interview with Alex Otaola that the organizers of both events received calls and threats before suspending the performances, and admitted to experiencing a drop in followers and earnings on TikTok as a result of the controversy.
As a direct response to the cancellations, Miami welcomed Cuqui La Mora with the announcement of a performance at the Café Cantante Restaurante on November 28, 2026, which the artist described as "a unique night of good humor and the spectacular music of Los 3 de La Habana."
The negative review on Google is the latest extension of a campaign aimed at commercially pressuring those who associate with the comedian. The debate has gone beyond the specific case and has sparked a broader discussion about political intolerance within the Cuban exile community.
The comedian Gustavito (Geonel Martín Verales) asked this Wednesday on Facebook: “Did we leave Cuba fleeing from intolerance to come and practice it here?” and stated that on principle, he would not perform in any venue that canceled an artist for their political views.
The actor Vladimir Escudero also took a stand in favor of Cuqui La Mora with a phrase that captures the sentiment of those who reject these pressures: "One thing is to escape a dictatorship, and a very different thing is to make the dictatorship leave our minds."
