The Cuban reggaeton artist known as El Yonki experienced a challenging situation on his tour in Germany, having to cancel several concerts due to issues with the promoter in charge. His partner and manager, Ani Dieppa, who is artistically recognized as La Super Friki, revealed that the promoter, identified as Christian, failed to honor crucial agreements, leaving the team without support or resources. This directly impacted scheduled performances in Munich, Nuremberg, and Cologne.
In a video that quickly went viral, La Super Friki expressed her frustration: "The promoter abandoned us here in Germany and tried to do things with us that didn't work out." Joined by El Yonki, whose real name is Alejandro Santoya, and some people who offered their assistance, she described how they had to navigate the chaos and reorganize independently. Despite the tough situation, El Yonki expressed gratitude to his fans and assured that the canceled concerts will be rescheduled. He also confirmed that the dates planned for Spain and Italy remain unchanged.
Later, Ani Dieppa posted another video, appearing relieved, announcing that the team was on their way to Spain. "Our first show there is on the 11th. I don't want to leave this beautiful city without thanking everyone who supported us," she stated. She gave special thanks to Tito, who hosted them at his home, and Valentina, his partner, who ensured they didn't end up in a hotel. She also acknowledged others who extended a helping hand during these trying days.
The public responded with a flood of supportive messages. "Keep pushing through, you are the Superfrikys," "You are genuine, and the audience knows it," and "This is just a bump, go break it with what's next," were just some of the hundreds of comments on the post. Although some fans expressed disappointment for traveling to Cologne to see the artist, most agreed that El Yonki was not at fault.
Despite the setback, the artist is continuing his European tour with renewed energy. His next stop is Spain, where an eager audience, primarily Cuban expatriates, awaits. This experience underscores that while challenges arise, the backing of a united community can overcome any obstacle.
