Osmani García

Osmani "La Voz" García González Kats (born May 22, 1981 in Guanabacoa) is a Cuban reggaeton (cubatón) rapper and singer.

Biography García participated in the National Festival of Cuba and at 19, he received several awards in various categories at which point he began to sing professionally.

He co-founded El Duo de Cristal in 2001, who wrote their own songs, and combined Cuban styles with international pop. They played three domestic Cuban tours, reached #1 in the Cuban charts and appeared on youth music programs such as A Moverse, Super 12, De mi pa ti and Mezcla. García made headlines by writing a letter of complaint back to the Minister.

Dr. María Córdova, Professor of Music and Art also criticized the song in the Cuban Communist Party daily Granma (newspaper), in the article "Vulgarity in our music: the choice of the 'Cuban people'?" (La vulgaridad en nuestra música: ¿una elección del 'pueblo cubano?'''), arguing that such songs are offensive because of their machismo as well as

"reducing sexual relations to the level at which a prostitute would have them. Vulgarity has never been the essence of Cuban music; examples of this are too many to count... Music is not always art, and not everything that sounds like music is valid from an artistic point of view".

A few days prior to that the Cuban state criticized reggaeton (cubatón) music in general, and recommended a "low" level of broadcasting of songs of the genre.

The song's video was nominated in several categories for the November 2011 Premios Lucas (Cuban video music awards).

As of March 2012 the song was still banned from the Cuban airwaves by the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television.
