Yomil Hidalgo continues his tour across various European cities. However, this journey has given the reggaeton artist a chance to reflect on the reach of Cuban urban music outside the island's borders.
In one of his Instagram stories, the Cuban singer shared his thoughts on the matter, which could be valuable for young artists who also aim to take their music to other continents. "This tour has been very enlightening. I've come to understand that the music we're creating isn't crossing borders. Over here, people are consuming music very differently from what we're producing," Yomil explained in his post.
Nevertheless, the artist's reflections don't suggest that he's giving up; rather, he's looking to reorient his music to align with international tastes. "I can't wait to get back to Cubita to focus on my career. I feel like I've been slacking, and I know my potential—I can't afford that luxury. We're going to step it up, as always," the reggaeton artist assured.
For several weeks, Yomil, along with his partner Daniela Reyes and his band, has been touring cities in Spain, Italy, and Germany. The next performance for the reggaeton star will be on July 24th, as part of the inaugural Barcelona Goes Reggaetón festival, where Gente de Zona will also be featured.
