The disappointment of Diomedes Díaz's grandson over new Netflix series

It's been just a few days since the streaming platform Netflix announced the release of a new documentary focused on the life of the 'Chief of the Junta'. The audiovisual production called 'Diomedes: the idol, the mystery and the tragedy', exposed several details of what was the impasse with the death of Doris Adriana Niño.

The documentary, which was released on March 30, had the first reactions among the closest relatives of the singer vallenato, by Martín Elias Jr., one of the grandchildren of the 'Cacique' son of the also deceased Martín Elias, who through a message showed his admiration for his grandfather.

“More than the best singer of vallenato music was my grandfather and those of us who were close to him know that he was an example of a person. He was someone who united families, gave joy and took Colombia and its culture throughout the Universe. That they only focus on one mistake, really, is very disappointing,” initially said the grandson of the interpreter of 'The Wounded Condor'.

Finally, the eldest son of the late Martín Elias concluded his message in defense of his grandfather with what he considers to be a vague study of the artist's life, a mistake for which he paid several years in prison and a misperception of his life.

“Those of us who know who it was, are calm because it was an example of being human. It remains teaching that even if you are perfect, people will want to highlight the bad”, concluded Martín Elias Jr., through his 'InstaStories'.

The publication shared by the young man was quickly replicated by the entertainment portal 'Rechismes' where it already exceeds 6,000 likes and has more than 300 comments of which highlight that the grandson of the 'Cacique de la Junta' is right in certain respects because his artistic life has nothing to do with his personal life.

“I love him for what his musical career was and his songs I will continue to listen to and love them, but you have to be sincere example was not”, “A good singer but not a good example”, “Neither, you have to be honest, he was a good singer but not a great example”, “Neither the best example, nor the best singer, in that if he is wrong pelao'”, among others.

Diomedes Díaz Maestre, known as Diomedes Díaz 'El Cacique de la Junta', was a Colombian singer and composer of the Vallenato music genre. His pseudonym was given by a colleague from the music industry in honor of the birthplace of the performer of 'Mi primera cana', who was born in San Juan del Cesar on May 26, 1957.

Considered one of the artists of the music industry in Colombia in the vallenato, he is also the most successful of his generation with more than 200 songs that reached the top of the charts, several gold, silver, platinum and diamond records for sales of his records, both nationally and internationally.

Throughout his 40 years of artistic life, he received multiple awards including a Latin Grammy in the Cumbia/Vallenato category in 2010. His life was also framed by one of the biggest scandals in the entertainment world, when he was accused of the death of one of his followers, in addition to messes with alcohol, drugs, legal problems, among others.
