"No one can ever take your place, for your music will always be a legacy," sings Seidy La Niña in her latest release dedicated to El Taiger, which recently premiered on her YouTube channel. Titled "Rest Easy, Paisano," the single is a poignant reflection on a life cut short and what remains unfinished. The song not only mourns the sudden passing of the Cuban reggaeton artist but also celebrates his enduring impact. El Taiger tragically passed away on October 10th after battling for his life in the hospital for a week, following a shooting that remains under police investigation.
The song has been warmly received by fans of both Cuban artists, filled with nods to El Taiger's iconic works and featuring his voice and laughter in the background. While the track has faced some criticism, with skeptics questioning the motives behind the numerous tributes to El Taiger, the majority of reactions have been positive. Comments such as "Thank you for sharing your love with our paisano, his loss is deeply felt," and "Beautiful song, straight from the heart as he deserved," highlight the emotional resonance of the tribute.
Despite some questioning whether the proceeds from these songs benefit El Taiger's family, most have expressed gratitude and admiration for Seidy's heartfelt homage. "From all the tributes, yours stands out as truly beautiful," and "This song is filled with sincerity," are just a few of the praises from listeners. Seidy's tribute joins a growing list of songs dedicated to El Taiger, both during his time in the hospital and following the news of his passing.
