“The last one who has set the prairie alight this week with his comments, which to me really smell like mischief, is Lucho Paz, former member of Grupo 5. (…) The one who criticizes is not the public, but the former singers who are no longer here, who left, who were kicked out, who ruined their careers because of alcohol, women. Now, all those mediocre people are the ones who have come together to go against each other. Christian Yaipén “, he said.

This kid, who has joined all his older brothers and has given it a new direction; for some reason he has studied at one of the best music universities in the world,” he added.
“He has contributed to the group and the brothers decided to give him the leadership, to have all the cameras pointed at him, because they know he has charm, charisma, and to say that he has no voice seems quite bold to me. Singing cumbia is not easy, it is quite difficult. There are people who try to compare him with Lucho Cuéllar, with Lucho Paz; don’t go too far. Where are they now and where are Christian Yaipén and Grupo 5?” the host concluded.
What did Lucho Paz say about Christian Yaipén?
This review of Magaly Medina responds to the harsh statements he issued I fight peace on the PBO program ‘Simples mortales’, where he had no qualms about criticizing the leader of Grupo 5, Christian Yaipén On that occasion, Paz pointed out that the singer does not have a voice for cumbia and that he does not stand out within the genre.
“He is an acceptable singer, he has a normal vocal range. It is standard. He cannot play with his voice; I have heard him sing cumbia many times, because he has gone straight to cumbia, he has no experience with other songs, and singing cumbia is difficult, even if it seems easy. It is not singing for singing’s sake; you have to put feeling into it, above all, interpretation. I think very few have that,” he said. I fight peace .
He also told an anecdote he had with Christian when he was still a member of Group 5 “He studied engineering and music production, but he didn’t sing. I’ll tell you an anecdote: when I was in Grupo 5, his brother Elmer told me: ‘Lucho, do you think you could give Christian some classes? He must have been 16 years old.’ I told him: ‘Sure, let him come to my house and I’ll give him some tips and exercises,’ but, in the end, he never came,” he said.
“I think he was a little embarrassed or intimidated, I don’t know. He must have had his reasons, but he didn’t make it. I think he’s an acceptable singer, but he’s not convincing, because he lacks many things to sing cumbia. He lacks interpretation, feelings, many breaks. That’s why I tell you that cumbia is difficult to sing,” he concluded.
