Dayron Curbelo, a Cuban composer known as @dstarlc on Instagram, has utilized Artificial Intelligence to craft a song featuring the voice of Cuban reggaeton artist El Taiger. The poignant track delves into the challenging period faced by José Manuel Carvajal, who is currently hospitalized after suffering a gunshot wound to the head. The lyrics carry a heartfelt plea: "I'm here, don't leave me alone, please, don't lose faith. Even if you can't hear me now, I want a new dawn, I want to be reborn, I still need to see my children grow. I had a conversation with God," one verse passionately conveys. The song has rapidly gained traction on social media.

Another powerful lyric reveals, "I talked to God, heard His voice, He told me my time hasn't stopped yet." This composition has struck a chord with many Cubans, including well-known figures like Jacob Forever, Señorita Dayana, Nayer, and Dany Ome, who have shared their reactions to the song.

"I couldn't hold back. Thank you so much from all of us, your fans. This gives us more strength to pray. Thank you," one user expressed. Others shared sentiments such as, "I get chills, blessings to El Taiger and those involved in creating this wonderful melody, very beautiful. The voice sounds just like El Taiger, it's spectacular, as if he's singing from the hospital," "What a powerful song," "It brought a lump to my throat," "He will sing that song when he wakes up," and "He'll sing this song when he rises. Amen." Many are hopeful that El Taiger himself will perform the song once he recovers.
