Yaliet Carvajal, daughter of the late Cuban singer El Taiger, took to social media on Friday to share a touching tribute to her father, marking three months since his untimely death. In a heartfelt message, she conveyed the deep sorrow and enduring love she feels for him. "You are and will always be the best dad in the world. Months and years may pass, but you will live in my heart forever. Just thinking about how long it's been since I last saw you breaks my heart. Sometimes I imagine you'll come to get me and say, 'Let's go, Caridad.' I love you, daddy," she wrote on her Instagram account, managed by her mother.
She continued, "There's nothing I do without thinking of you. Even though it's hard for me to express my feelings, I carry you tightly in my chest. Every time I see your photo and smell your jacket, I cry." Accompanying her message was a cherished photo of El Taiger and a younger Yaliet, capturing one of their many father-daughter moments.
Remembering El Taiger After Three Months
The Cuban reggaeton artist tragically passed away on October 10, after spending a week in intensive care following a gunshot wound to the head. His death sent shockwaves through the Cuban community both on the island and abroad, leaving a significant void among his fans, fellow artists, and family. His children and grandmother, with whom he shared a special bond, have felt his absence most profoundly.
On December 31, Ana Paloma, El Taiger's other daughter, honored her father by releasing her debut song, "The Best in the World," as a tribute to him.
