Carlos Otero Reminisces About Giving His Pants to Paulito FG During a Live Interview

The passing of Paulito FG on March 1 left a profound impact on his family, friends, and fans who cherished his music. A number of Cuban artists, including Carlos Otero, have been sharing personal stories and memories of the acclaimed artist behind "Te deseo suerte."

Carlos Otero, a Cuban TV host, recalled an unforgettable interview with Paulito FG that took place over 18 years ago on the popular show "La hora de Carlos." During the interview, Otero put Paulito in a rather awkward spot. He asked, "What’s your take on the myth that Cubans are very creative when it comes to intimacy?" This question left Paulito defending himself on live television.

Paulito attempted to address the question with composure and sincerity, acknowledging the stereotype, but Otero kept pressing with questions like, "When you talk about Cubans, does that include you personally?" In an effort to get a direct answer, Otero further inquired, "Are you creative in bed?" Paulito, clearly embarrassed, simply lowered his head and humorously replied, "Just normal."

The interview took an amusing turn when Otero remarked on the worn-out pants Paulito was wearing, jokingly saying, "I'm down on my luck, seeking donations." Acknowledging Paulito's rushed appearance, Otero surprised everyone by removing his own pants on camera and offering them to the singer. Paulito burst into laughter, hiding his face in the couch cushions to contain his amusement.

This lighthearted moment served as a joyful tribute to Paulito FG, allowing fans to remember him with happiness rather than the inevitable sadness of his passing.
