As tributes pour in for the late El Taiger, who passed away this afternoon after a week in critical condition, fellow artist Dany Ome has taken a bold step by tattooing "LBMA" on his chest. These cryptic letters, which the deceased singer also had inked on his own chest, stand for "La Bestia, la Machine, el Animal." This phrase was how El Taiger often described himself in the Cuban urban music scene, frequently accompanied by "The Best in the World."
"LBMA. The Best in the World and I will carry your legacy," Dany Ome declared on Instagram, sharing a short video showcasing his new tattoo. Following the tragic incident that left El Taiger injured, Dany Ome—who was in Spain at the time—was among the artists who expressed their support, showing a deep commitment to doing whatever he could to help. He even proposed that all Cuban reggaeton artists unite in a song dedicated to El Taiger, with profits going entirely to assist the performer of "La Historia."
Beyond this, Dany Ome and his colleague Kevincito 13 dedicated a concert to El Taiger last weekend in the Canary Islands, Spain. For the event, they wore shirts featuring El Taiger's face with the phrase "La Tranka de mi país." Dany Ome expressed, "This night is for you my king. We regret not being in the USA, but you, more than anyone, know how this business works, especially with pre-scheduled dates," lamenting his absence from the United States.
The death of El Taiger, confirmed just after noon this Thursday, has plunged his family, friends, and fans into profound grief. At the Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where El Taiger's health was critical, hundreds of supporters gathered over the past week to pray for his recovery. Now, upon learning of his passing, many have returned to the hospital to mourn his loss.
