The Cuban singer Yulién Oviedo has sparked controversy on social media by claiming during his appearance on the show Destino Tolk that he is the only Cuban who makes "real bachata." These statements, made during a recent interview, quickly reached the ears of El Chacal, another well-known Cuban artist who was also recently invited to the same YouTube show.
When asked about Yulién Oviedo's comments, El Chacal, instead of engaging in a dispute, offered a response to Destino Tolk marked by elegance and professionalism, something very characteristic of the artist.
"Yulién Oviedo has many years of experience in music. I don’t doubt that he has made significant contributions to the bachata genre. A genre that, first of all, is not native to us, but many people have a strong attachment to it and defend it. For example, I fell in love with a Luis Miguel album," commented El Chacal.
In response to El Chacal's comments, Yulién Oviedo posted on his Instagram news account: "Thank you for that response, Chacal. We have known each other for years and have mutual admiration and respect. Even though things can sometimes get tense, we always know how to handle public opinion. Blessings to you, your family, your children, and may you soon resolve your legal issues so everything is in order as it should be. Blessssss."
