The controversial Cuban musician and content creator, known as El Chicleee, is once again making waves online with his latest musical debut. His video for "El Pasillongo," produced by Reggaeton Cuba Viral, premiered on YouTube last week and has already garnered over 85,000 views.
In the vibrant video, El Chicleee parades through the bustling Boulevard de San Rafael in Havana, dancing and engaging with passersby, staying true to his bold and eye-catching style. His charisma has sparked a flurry of social media comments, with fans applauding his creativity and urging collaborations with other urban artists such as Chocolate MC, the King of Reparto.
YouTube comments highlight the track's impact, featuring everything from jokes about his unique style to praise for the video's production and its catchy beat. Some viewers believe that "El Pasillongo" could become the next hit in the "Hyperreparto" subgenre, which the artist has popularized.
Despite facing criticism throughout his career for his provocative humor and extravagant image, El Chicleee continues to gain followers. His androgynous aesthetic, complete with wigs, colored contact lenses, tattoos, fake nails, and shaved eyebrows, has made him a cultural phenomenon on the island.
With "El Pasillongo," El Chicleee once again proves that his artistic vision and ability to connect with audiences are key factors that keep him at the forefront of Cuba's digital entertainment scene, much to the surprise of his critics.
