The urban singer Paloma Mami responded to the controversial statements of the music producer, who canceled the album he was preparing with Chilean reggaeton players.
Apparently, the controversy between the world of Chilean urban music and the Puerto Rican producer Alex Gargoyles is far from over. The last to join the critics was Paloma Mom.
Through Instagram, the artist responded to Gárgolas, who announced this Friday that he would cancel the release of the album “Chilean Reggaeton Vol. 1”
“The Chilean movement is where it is thanks to Chile,” the artist wrote in her Instagram stories. “Let the music speak for itself,” added Paloma Mami.
His message would be a reply to Gárgolas, who in a post promoting his new job wrote: “Forget everything else. The world is music, not just a country. But if you disrespected me, put up with the pressure from the Elite.”
This is how the controversy of Alex Gárgolas began
The controversy began when Gárgolas promoted the aforementioned album on its official accounts, which was going to include only national artists, but which later -according to the specialized media outlet Trap2Day- would include Puerto Rican referents of the genre.
“Now comes the litmus test for Chileans. How many will remain playing in regions of Chile and those who will transcend the world. Asia, Africa, United States, Canada, PR, England, Mexico, Germany, Japan. How many are going to have their own private jets and Rolls-Royces. Now that Chile is on the map,” said Gárgolas.
“Let’s see, those wise fans who always think they can do anything, let’s see how they’re going to do it. I read them and come back and repeat, I have not contributed anything or done anything for that movement. Just a world musical legacy and helping a few of my friends from Chile that I consider family,” he added.
The post did not go down well with national artists, who did not take long to respond, leading the long list the singer Pablo Chill-E.
“Chilean urban artists have never needed anyone’s help to sound outside (because no one wanted to help us either),” he said at the outset.
Balbi El Chamako and Soulfia They also responded to his comments, qualifying them as unfortunate and assuring that the urban genre in Chile has managed to achieve its reach “without anyone’s help.”
La-44740107 legend of reggaeton Don Omar, and the Chilean Marcianekejoined the cause and also came out to defend Chile in the midst of the scandal.
“The expressions of @alexgargolas in reference to #CHILE and its artists are the responsibility of an employee of the genre, NOT the management,” said the interpreter of Ella y yo, on his official Twitter account. The singer also shared his tweet on Instagram, where he added: “Brother to speak SHIT it takes more than having a MOUTH to do it.”
