El Taiger died in Miami at the age of 37, after being hospitalized for a week in critical condition from a gunshot wound to the head. In Cuba, fans bid him farewell "celebrating as he wanted" with "party and joy," according to AFP.
Author of the well-known song Habla Matador and based in the United States for several years, Carvajal had been hospitalized since October 3 at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where he finally succumbed to his injuries.
