This Tuesday, the music video for “Santa,” a song dedicated by El Yonki to his late mother, finally premiered. The song itself was released last week, coinciding with what would have been his mother's birthday.
The video was initially scheduled to debut on August 3rd, but the artist issued an apology on his Instagram account, explaining that the overwhelming emotions following his mother's passing prevented him from releasing it on time. “Today at 12, the video for the song I made for my mom is available on my YouTube channel. I apologize, but I didn't have the strength, and my heart is in pieces. Thank you all for your messages of encouragement and the support you've given me during this immense sorrow; without a doubt, you are my new family,” El Yonki wrote in his post.
The video is incredibly moving, not only because the song begins with the last audio messages exchanged between mother and son, encapsulating all the longing and sadness after her loss, but also because it features many photos of El Yonki with his mother, from his childhood to her final days.
The music video also includes clips of El Yonki’s visits to Cuba, the heartfelt embraces from his mother, who was always overjoyed to see him, and the poignant moment when he had to say goodbye to her after her passing last May.
