Cuban host Alexander Otaola did not hold back his thoughts this Thursday when reacting to a viral video featuring La Cintumbare performing live at a nightclub in Cuba. During his show "Hola! Ota-Ola," the influencer took a critical stance against the controversial figure for her rendition. "When you hear La Cintumbare doing this, Chocolate seems like Beethoven. Chocolate seems like a master of masters," Otaola remarked, drawing a stark comparison between the singer's performance and that of reggaeton artist Chocolate MC.
Otaola was highly critical of La Cintumbare's vocal abilities and what he perceives this performance signifies for contemporary Cuban music. "Listen to La Cintumbare on one side and the music on the other. What is this, folks? This is nothing, this leads nowhere, this woman has neither melody nor musicality. Look at what we’ve avoided," he expressed.
The segment from the show has been widely circulated on social media, sparking a debate among fans and critics of both artists. Known for her controversial content and bold style, La Cintumbare has gained attention in recent months. Meanwhile, Otaola continues to utilize his platform to comment on and critique facets of the Cuban entertainment scene, both on the island and abroad.
