Cuban musician Jose Manuel Carbajal Zaldivar, known as “El Taiger,” died Thursday in the US city of Miami at 37, his family said, a week after he was shot in the head and hospitalised.
A popular “urbano” singer who mixed reggaeton with traditional Cuban music, he was known for songs such as “La Historia,” “Papelito” and “Habla Matador.”
“We bid farewell to one of the most recognised figures of the urban genre, who did not renounce his Cuban identity and always expressed love for his country,” the Cuban Institute of Music said in a statement on Facebook.
