The start of summer in Varadero has sparked significant discussion on social media, especially after it became the scene of a clash between El Taiger and Ja Rulay. One of the most vocal critics of the event was Yulién Oviedo, who directed his criticism not at the controversy between the artists but at the poor organization of the activity.
"Summer Kickoff? That was like 'Singing to the Sun 2024', a festival of shouting that felt like a ceremony, a ritual slaughter with goats bleating 'beee beee beeee!' Each year the event gets worse and it turned into a mess," Yulién wrote in one of his Instagram stories.
"Such backwardness and lack of taste among Cubans, for God's sake, I won't say more because my words carry weight. I'll just stick with my bachata, bye," he added in the post.
According to Yulién, the way to move past this backwardness is by listening to his new musical release, "Me Enamoré," a bachata he premiered just a few days ago on his YouTube channel.
