Farewell to Doña Gela

The musician Cruz Martínez, known as the Kumbia King, shared on Instagram the departure of his mother, María de los Ángeles Martínez. Doña Gela, as those close to her called her, died after choosing the date of her departure herself: the day of birth of her son Danny, who died four years ago.

In a series of photographs, he showed his mother at different stages of her life, along with her grandchildren and siblings. The message was accompanied by a profound text.

“Today my heart says goodbye to the most important woman in my life, my mother, the woman who gave me life, who loved me with all her heart and who never stopped fighting, no matter how difficult the road was.”

Cruz highlighted her mother’s efforts as a single mother. Without parental support, she worked to support her five children.

“As a single mother, you raised five children, with a strength that only God could give you; you taught us that life is not always fair, but that we should never give up.”

The producer also pointed out that Mrs. Gela wanted to transcend the same day as Danny’s birthday, who died in 2022.

“Even in your last moments you gave us one last sample of that intense love. You yourself chose your day of departure… because you wanted to go give my brother Danny a hug.”

In his farewell, Martínez thanked him for the human legacy he left them.

“Thank you, mom, for every second of your life. Thank you for every hug, every advice, every prayer… thank you for teaching your five children that, no matter what happens, you have to get up and move on.”

The musician stated that his mother will be an inspiration in everything he does.

“From today on, I will miss you every day of my life… everything I do, from now on, will be for you and to honor the great legacy you left us.”

He concluded: “Rest in peace, mom, your pain is over.” The Martínez family receives support from fans and colleagues after the loss.

Karol G asks the new president for unity

The Colombian singer Karol G addressed Abelardo de Espriella, recognized by the National Electoral Council as the elected president of Colombia, through her account on

“I am not writing to you as a sympathizer, I am not writing to you as an opponent, I am writing to you as a Colombian who deeply loves her country. The elections are over, the campaign is over, the speeches are over, now the most difficult begins; governing for everyone.”

Karol G asked de Espriella to ensure the well-being of all Colombians, regardless of their political ideals. Among their requests: safeguard the integrity of citizens, facilitate access to job opportunities and combat hatred.

“Listen to those who voted for you, but also to those who did not, that you do not govern for a party, an ideology or a sector; that you govern for Colombia.”

Split reactions in networks

Although the singer’s intention was to call for unity, several users criticized her message. Some considered that it was a nod to the extreme right, while others asked him not to get involved in politics.

“I fell for Carolina Giraldo, just like Feid, anyway, I don’t judge them by the music but well, how disappointing, and don’t get involved in politics, like Caesar, Caesar.”

Another commented: “Why didn’t you ever write to Petro? You stayed silent for four years with those government atrocities.”

The publication generated a debate about the role of artists in political issues. Karol G has not responded to the criticism so far.

Colombian streamer Luis Fernando Villa Álvarez, known as WestCOL, mobilized his community to support the victims of the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that shook Venezuela on June 24.

Two 10-hour charity broadcasts

WestCOL invited its followers to participate in two live broadcasts of 10 hours each. The proceeds go entirely to the victims.

On June 27, the first transmission was made. During the live show, he combined games, talks and the reaction to the Portugal versus Colombia match. All money generated was used to send medical supplies.

After finishing that first stream, WestCOL informed its more than 6.5 million followers that it had already sent more than seven trucks with medical supplies to Venezuela. In addition, he pointed out that at the Dulcinea nightclub, in Medellín, more items are received to send.

Kick will triple donations

This June 28 the second transmission takes place. The Kick platform, which hosts their live shows, joined the cause and will triple the donations collected during the event.

WestCOL invited its audience to join this new streaming, reinforcing the call to collaborate with the communities affected by the seismic emergency.
