The Cuban comedic character Yakelín La Pandemia, portrayed by actor Ernesto González Umpierre from Matanzas, has released a fresh video detailing how she is "celebrating" Christmas in Cuba. "I went out with this festive look, and some guy was practically devouring me with his eyes. Cubans are desperate for anything these days," Yakelín quipped.
In this amusing sketch, she highlights several of the pressing issues plaguing Cuba, such as the lack of fuel for cooking. She humorously mentions needing a lumberjack, since many families are forced to cook with wood. Additionally, she touches on the severe food shortages, joking, "I don’t care about the fridge; I use it as a shoe rack."

Last November, he released a video expressing his concern over the massive exodus from the Island while subtly addressing the issue of scarcity by saying that when the sun sets in Havana, he feels "a burning hunger in his stomach."
El Flacomímico rose to fame with his character Yakelín La Pandemia years ago through the viral video "Muertecita de miedo," where he narrated how he managed to escape a sexual predator in Havana. The video became a sensation on social media, garnering over 5,000 views on YouTube.
