The Cuban reggaeton artist Yomil Hidalgo, known professionally as Yomil, took to his Instagram account to voice his dissatisfaction with the frequent power outages affecting the island.

In a story posted just a few hours ago, the singer shared his frustration in a direct yet humorous manner. "They're playing a serious game of chess in El Casino and the power is going on and off constantly, it's outrageous!" he said. "It's better to laugh than to get mad."

This comment from Yomil echoes the recent complaint from his partner, influencer Daniela Reyes, who also expressed her frustration with the unstable electricity and internet services. Reyes highlighted on her social media how these issues negatively impact her work as a content creator: "I'm very desperate because I made a lot of stories explaining various things... and nothing, nothing got uploaded," she vented through several videos posted in the ephemeral content section of the platform.

Additionally, in a previous story, Yomil reminded his followers that his summer tour in Europe will kick off next week. "Next week we're in Europe," he said alongside an image.

The promotional poster for the tour, posted three days earlier on his Instagram wall, details the dates and locations of his tour, which will begin in Tenerife on June 21 and continue through various cities including Madrid, Milan, and Barcelona.
