Tuesday, July 23, 2024 by Charlotte Gomez

For Cuban announcer Frank Abel, the bond between the Cuban public and their artists is very close. When someone is out of the spotlight for a while, people feel their absence keenly.

In the program "Destino Tolk", with which he signed a contract a few weeks ago and works on every Monday, Frank Abel, drawing from his own experience, mentioned that "one must keep in mind that when a Cuban artist arrives here (referring to Miami) and is reintroduced to the audience, they are emotionally very grateful."

"The Cuban public loves their artists dearly. For the Cuban public, artists are very accessible because Cuban artists, with few exceptions, don't have special privileges. So, you have to walk the streets like everyone else, as an ordinary citizen, and you frequently interact with the public," the announcer explained.

A Cherished Relationship

It is precisely because of this close relationship that, according to Frank Abel, "when you disappear, the public misses you and wants to see you again." In his opinion, one of the things Cubans love most is when artists they thought had vanished reappear.

Following the controversial interview he gave on "Destino Tolk," Frank Abel's career in Miami has surged. Although he received many criticisms, even from other artists, the support from the public who remember him from his radio and television shows in Cuba was immense, especially on social media.
