Charly & Johayron seem to be magnets for controversy. The popular Cuban duo abruptly left a concert in Alicante, Spain, due to technical difficulties, and the backlash has been swift.
The news broke on Instagram, where influencer Michelito Dando Chucho shared a video capturing the exact moment the artists' microphones began to fail mid-performance.
According to reports, the reggaeton duo performed only three songs before exiting the stage due to audio issues. In messages shared by the influencer between a concert attendee and, apparently, the venue owner, the latter implied that the event promoters were to blame for the mishap.
One concertgoer who paid to see the Cuban artists commented on Michelito Dando Chucho's post: "I was at that concert. While technical issues can happen, I don't understand why there wasn't a contingency plan. We paid to see them perform, and it's disrespectful that we don't get a refund. It's not the artists' fault, according to you, but it's also not fair to those who pay 250€ and get only three songs. Event planning requires thorough preparation because attendees don't get free entry."
Several online users agreed with this sentiment, although some pointed out that the artists shouldn't be held responsible for the technical problems.
According to the schedule posted by the singers on Instagram, their only performance in Alicante took place on July 12 at Sala Baby Oh.
This marks the first European tour for Charly & Johayron, and it hasn't been without its challenges. In Italy, the artists had to cancel three shows due to Johayron's health issues.
