The Taiger sings while chewing gum. He is not a great singer or a great rapper nor does he have a great stage projection. He's fat, big, tattooed, flirtatious. He is nice and a great presumptuous. Standing next to the stool where she sings, a man with a rag wipes her sweat.<\/p>\n
In M\u00edo & Tuyo there were a hundred people. Crammed in there, paying for drinks. It was after one in the morning and he had flown from Miami directly to the bar for his fixed club, which costs 30 CUC for admission. He arrived in a white car with padding and leather boots; security made protocol to escort him inside. I was playing that time with a funny little band that all sounded identical, I mean, the only difference between Super good<\/em> and The hi<\/em>red litho<\/em>, two of his hits<\/em>, it was the trumpet riff. On the sidewalk he was waving his arms and his belly, but he was motionless. A few times I saw him go inside, enjoy the music, it seemed to me that he was singing to get out of it. That he was crazy to leave.<\/p>\n Flight fatigue, I thought, a bad day, anything, I don't know. But that day I confirmed the impression he always gives me. That El Taiger sings to get out of that. To kill and salt, as they say.<\/p>\n Since he joined Los 4, in 2007, his clumsy verses, filler verses, below the quality of those of Jorge Jr. bothered me. He never seemed like a good substitute for Eduardo Mora, founder of Eddy K, that mythical group that was Los 4 returned after Eduardo and DJ Tony stayed in the United States. Then Jorge Jr. changed Tony for two producers named Frank and El Metra and Eduardo for El Taiger, who called himself El Pr\u00edncipe.<\/p>\n His flow, like until yesterday, was monotonous. The same cadence in a ballad as in a tiradera. He left Los 4 to found Desiguales with Dami\u00e1n, the group's melodic voice since Eddy K, and they invented the fachat\u00f3n<\/em>, which was reggaeton fashion<\/em>. They were successful, they broke up. Dami\u00e1n evaporated while El Taiger continued to be successful. He signed with the Puerto Rican label Rottweilas Inc., prestigious for its star, rapper Cosculluela. He collaborated with great exponents of that country \u2014\u00d1ejo, J Balvin, Bad Bunny. He came to charge 4,000 CUC for a featuring<\/em> in the Music Cell. And at midnight on March 20, 2020, he released his first independent album, Blychy<\/em>, \u201ca new beginning\u201d, according to view<\/em>.<\/p>\n Blychy: deformation of the verb bleach<\/em> (whiten, whiten), can be translated as white, clean; the message is very clear: I am independent, I am white. The cover reaffirms it: a colorful advertisement for detergent.<\/p>\n
