Cuban singer Bebeshito delivered a heartfelt tribute to El Taiger during a half-time show at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which took place during the soccer match between Argentina and Venezuela. This performance not only elevated the reparto music genre but also honored Cuba as a whole.
From the moment Bebeshito took the stage with a Cuban flag painted on his head and draped over his shoulders, it was clear that his performance would carry a strong sense of identity. He kicked off the show with the song "Tacto que llegó el reparto," a nod to the urban music movement that has impacted a generation of young people both on and off the island.
One of the most touching moments came as the artist chose to honor El Taiger, marking a year since the reggaeton artist's passing. Giant screens in the stadium displayed images of the Cuban musician while Bebeshito performed segments of their shared hits "Marca mandarina" and "El punto," songs that continue to resonate with fans.
The name of El Taiger was prominently displayed on the stadium's LED strips alongside legends like Maradona, Messi, and Canserbero. This gesture highlighted the position that Cubans have afforded El Taiger in urban popular culture and his enduring influence within the genre.
