On Sunday, during Carnival in Capira, the Calle Abajo tuna sang a song directed at the folk musician Alejandro Torres, despite an agreement not to perform pieces related to the artist. During the parade of Queen Noemí Liseth González, the tuna performed the controversial lyrics that had already sparked debate in previous days. However, the tuna decided to sing it anyway, fueling the controversy. As is known, the artist's sister, Albanis Briceida Torres, is the current queen of Calle Arriba in Capira, a historical rival in the celebrations. In videos circulating on social media, the chorus is sung forcefully by Calle Abajo supporters. The chorus, which had already caused an uproar due to its direct content against the folk musician, had been deemed inappropriate, which may have motivated attempts to prevent its performance.
