The Cuban singer Diosa marked another milestone in her flourishing career during a performance on Saturday, July 19, at Miami's Watsco Center. A highlight of the evening came when Cuban rapper El Funky joined her on stage, igniting the crowd with a powerful rendition that had thousands on their feet, passionately chanting "Homeland and Life!"—a call for Cuba's freedom.
Amidst the performance, El Funky took a moment to remember his friend and political prisoner Maykel Osorbo, sending a strong message of protest against the Cuban regime. The audience reacted with enthusiastic applause, waving flags, and shouting support for political prisoners.
Journalist Mario J. Pentón captured this stirring moment in a video that showcased the artists' dedication and the audience's overwhelming emotion. During the concert, Diosa introduced her latest musical project, *Joyas*, an album featuring deeply personal renditions of iconic classics from the Prodigious Decade. With this album, she aims to captivate her fans through a fresh interpretative approach, blending nostalgia with vocal power.
Diosa's partner and the album's producer, Rey, had noted on social media that tickets were nearly sold out two days before the show. This enthusiastic reception reaffirms Diosa's strong connection with her Miami audience.
This performance marked Diosa's second concert at the Watsco Center, a venue where she first debuted successfully in Miami shortly after arriving in the United States. Once again, she proved that her voice not only fills auditoriums but also resonates powerfully as a symbol of courage, protest, and commitment.
Diosa is solidifying her status as one of the most influential female voices of the Cuban exile community in today's music scene.
