A Cuban woman couldn't resist taking on the challenge of ranking the most popular Cuban duos of recent years, earning praise from many fellow Cubans for her list. "Nobody asked for my opinion, but I'm going to rank my favorite Cuban artists," said user @highlaa__ (Jaila) before listing her top picks.
In the number one spot, she unequivocally places Chacal and Yakarta, stating that "millions of years may pass, but 'El Tubazo' is 'El Tubazo.' It will never be forgotten." For her, this duo is undoubtedly the best in Cuba.
Coming in second, she chooses Los Desiguales, acknowledging that "they're amazing; I loved their songs." The third place goes to Yomil and El Dany.
Fourth place is reserved for Baby Lores and El Insurrecto. In the fifth position, she places Gente de Zona. "They're great on a global level, but I don't listen to them as much, so they land at number 5," she explains.
Her list also includes other duos, such as Charly and Johayron, who she ranks seventh, not hiding her distaste by saying she can't stand their music and placing them "because there could be something worse." She concludes her top list with Dany Ome and Kevincito El 13 in the eighth spot. "These people are at number 8; I can't stand them. I listen to the music, but I don't like them, I don't like their personalities because they're so inflated," she commented.
@highlaa__'s video has not gone unnoticed among fans of Cuban urban music, amassing thousands of views on TikTok and generating supportive comments for her ranking, especially for the duo at the top of her list. "I agree with you. Chacal and Yakarta are #1," "Chacal and Yakarta are the greatest in Cuba," "Seriously the best, Chacal and Yakarta," "Our tastes align perfectly," "Always Chacal and Yakarta," "Your list of artists is well-made. I agree," "I don't agree with much, but it's clear Chacal and Yakarta are number one. They will always be the hardest duo in the genre for centuries to come, amen."
Additionally, her critique of the duo in the eighth spot also resonated with some followers: "Everything you said about position 8 is very real; I feel the same way, they're terrible." "Sorry for Kevincito and the other one, but to me, these are the best Cuban artists, not counting Ovi and Almighty," she clarified in the video description.
