The Cuban influencer and model Samantha Hernández caused a wave of admiration on Thursday after revealing her role as a model in the music video for "La Foto," a song by Cuban artist El Shadow featuring Nicky Jam. The official release of the video coincided with her announcement on Instagram.
Residing in Miami, Samantha shared a collection of professional photos from the shoot on her social media, confessing that she had kept this project under wraps for several months: "We filmed this a few months ago, and I've been eager to tell you all... another day doing what I LOVE and feeling proud because of it."
The pictures capture Samantha in an olive green outfit that leaves little to the imagination, with wavy red hair and a necklace bearing the name "Sammy," all exuding a captivating sensuality.
The post quickly amassed numerous comments, with followers showering her with praise: "You're a beautiful lady," "Cuba's Marilyn Monroe," "Cachita in her prime," and "Sammy, you nailed it," were just a few of the compliments that filled the comments section.
Additional fans chimed in with remarks like "You're an incredibly beautiful girl," "You're killing it, girl," and "Let's get it started."
Samantha took the opportunity to express pride in her heritage: "Cuba in the house, proud of myself and all my fellow Cubans breaking through barriers."
The "La Foto" music video represents a milestone for El Shadow, whose real name is Raudel Gómez Hernández, a 26-year-old singer from Camagüey.
The backstory of the song is as intriguing as the video itself: In February of this year, when El Shadow had only 12,000 Instagram followers, he posted a video performing the song and urged his followers to tag Nicky Jam. The Puerto Rican reggaeton artist responded positively, and the collaboration came to fruition.
The filming took place in two separate locations: El Shadow shot his scenes in Playa Santa Lucía, Camagüey, while Nicky Jam filmed his parts in Miami.
