Ana de Armas enjoyed the road to the Oscars to the rhythm of Cuban timba

The Cuban actress Ana de Armas enjoyed the way from her hotel to the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles for the Oscars ceremony, and she did it to the rhythm of the Cuban timba “Qué risa me da”, by the group Azúcar Negra.

De Armas, nominated for “Best Actress” for her role as Marilyn Monroe in the movie “Blonde”, drank champagne and “threw her little steps” in the limousine that took her to the Oscars gala. An occasion that the Cuban wanted to enjoy to the fullest and to the rhythm of the Cuban clave.

The images of the little dance prior to the appointment were shared by herself on her Instagram account. In the video she is seen standing up, trying to keep her balance in the car that was taking her to the event. In the background, “What a laugh it makes me” sounded and she appeared dancing. She even let go of her hands to twirl to the beat of the theme song.

“Oscars 2023, it was fun! Last night was the most special night of my career. I loved every minute of it. Thank you @theacademy for such a wonderful evening. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners, ”she later wrote on the social network.

Ana lost the statuette to the veteran actress of Chinese origin Michelle Yeoh, who starred in the film “Everything at once everywhere.” However, many feel that the Cuban woman is the winner after having put herself in the shoes of a movie icon like Marilyn Monroe and having become the first Cuban actress nominated for the Academy Awards.

In this regard, the Miami-based Cuban actor, comedian and presenter Alexis Valdés defended his compatriot on social networks, after some media described her as a “loser” in the last installment of the Oscars, where she was nominated in the category of best actress.

“I have seen a couple of headlines in Spanish referring to the night of the Oscars, which say that Ana de Armas did not win. They are totally wrong. Ana won from the moment she was chosen to play such an iconic role, ”said the actor in an extensive post on Instagram.

Another actress who defended her in networks was the Cuban Amarilys Núñez, who declared: “Bravo my Ana, as I will continue to say, YOU ARE OUR OSCAR. God bless you, thank you.”
