Cuban singer Eduardo Antonio, known as El Divo de Placetas, held a poignant memorial service for his mother, Olguita, on Sunday at the Ermita de la Caridad in Miami.
Surrounded by friends, colleagues, admirers, and his husband Roy García, the artist expressed gratitude to everyone who joined him during this deeply painful moment dedicated to honoring the woman who profoundly influenced his life.
"Thank you all for joining me on this Sunday afternoon for the Holy Mass at the Ermita de la Caridad, offered in memory of my mother Olguita," the performer shared on social media, alongside images from the ceremony.
El Divo chose to honor his mother’s memory by wearing a formal suit, elegant yet understated, remembering how she always loved to see him shine.
Olguita recently passed away in Cuba due to dengue, a loss that has left the artist deeply affected, as he was unable to travel to Cuba to say his final goodbye.
In his posts, Eduardo Antonio has expressed both his sorrow and his gratitude for the support received from the public and his loved ones.
The Ermita de la Caridad, a symbolic site for the Cuban exile community, became a setting for a tribute filled with faith and emotion, where El Divo de Cuba vowed once again to make his mother proud, wherever she may be.
