El Micha has become a focal point of debate on Cuban social media due to his frequent travels between Havana and Miami. The reggaeton artist almost missed his return to the Sunshine City on Saturday, but he disregarded the danger and controversy surrounding him.
This Sunday, he was back on the island to perform a concert. El Micha and Yomil took the stage at a venue known as "El Rincón de Candita" in Santa Lucía, Camagüey, to mark the End of Summer 2024. They performed their hit song "Pa' Atrás" together.
Yomil welcomed him with the words: "He’s back, in his home, in his country, El Micha." The crowd erupted in cheers of excitement.
On Saturday morning, El Micha was removed from a plane when he attempted to fly from Havana to Miami for a performance at a nightclub. Upon boarding, the singer had a dispute with another passenger. The flight attendants decided to remove both travelers from the plane without distinction. Despite this, the singer made it in time and performed to a full house at Miami's Play2Pen club.
This Sunday, El Micha was scheduled to perform at the End of Summer concerts in Camagüey, at Playa Santa Lucía, alongside another famous Cuban reggaeton artist, Yomil.
Many people believed that after the scare of being taken off the plane to Miami, El Micha would stay in Florida and not return to the island. However, the artist is determined to perform for his Cuban audience, as he has stated on multiple occasions. Thus, he flew back to Havana.
El Micha’s continuous trips to Cuba are causing a division of opinions among Cubans on both sides. Many accuse him of being an opportunist wanting to enjoy the best of both Cuba and the United States, while others support him, asserting that every Cuban has the right to return to their homeland whenever they wish.
After several years away from the island's stages, El Micha gave his first concert in the Cuban capital on Friday night. He chose one of Havana's most famous nightclubs, Club El Johnny.
