Simultaneous international launching of El Bocadito de Helado

If there has been an omnipresent melody in the streets of Cuba this year that is ending, it has been the one of El Bocadito de Helado.  

With multiple versions and in different genres, one of our favorites is the cast arrangement that Wampi made before he became famous, as he confessed in a recent interview with our director. 

But apparently, the time has come for the international expansion of the track, which had already exploded in the electronic arrangement by DJ Mugetsu.

It has come to light that Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, the reputed DJs at the top of the current EDM charts (except for Billboard, which doesn't know about it) are cooking up a single from the Cuban pregón for next January. 

A symphonic version will also be recorded by Sarah Willis and the Lyceum Orchestra of Havana for the fourth installment of the Mozart and Mambo project.

But what does mark a before and after in the scope of a Cuban work -success not even dreamed of by subjects such as Guajira Guantanamera by Joseito Fernández or La Malagueña by Ernesto Lecuona-, is the announcement that Taylor Swift, excited by the evidence of the arrival of the phenomenon of the swiftie to Cuba, as was demonstrated last 21st at the event organized by Pop Culture Cuba and this magazine at the Amphitheater in Havana, has decided to incorporate in pop key El Bocadito de Helado (Taylor's Version) to close the shows of the second season of his acclaimed Era's Tour.

Cuban Minister of Economy Alejandro Gil ended yesterday, with this hopeful news, the Round Table dedicated to the initiatives planned to revitalize the battered Cuban economy.
