The Vallenato artist has received strong criticism for his behavior in a musical show.
Colombia News.
Tomás Alfonso Zuleta, better known in Vallenato folklore as ‘Poncho’ Zuleta, is in the ‘eye of the hurricane’ due to his behavior in the middle of the show where the artist Karen Lizarazo was also performing.
In the middle of the concert ‘The golden lung’, as he is nicknamed for his prodigious voice, insistently hugged the young artist, who for her part made gestures with her body to feel uncomfortable with the situation.

Poncho kept hugging her from behind and squeezing her around the waist.
Even the vallenato singer tries to kiss her on the mouth and she dodges it, however, the 74-year-old artist tries to use some of his strength and tries to take her by the jaw to fulfill his goal.
However, lizard he manages to free himself and continues singing. While the musicians around laugh at the situation.
Finally, the young singer from Aguachica, Cesar, leaves the show and Poncho follows behind her, squeezing her around the waist.
The following video shows the images:
Although the artist Karen Lizarazo has not yet spoken, she has received the support of social network users who have criticized the Vallenatero’s gesture.
Twitter users have not forgiven Zuleta for this behavior and a shower of comments have invaded the platform.
Poncho Zuleta’s behavior in front of Karen Lizarazo is disgusting, I really like his music but that’s not why he should be applauded for such an act of HARASSMENT in public.

Poncho Zuleta’s video is downright disgusting. No one intervenes, quite the contrary, some are seen laughing in the background, because of course, it is normal in that culture. What crap all.

They have dedicated themselves to celebrating all the bad acts of Poncho Zuleta, but it’s already good, that’s the cover! What he did to Karen Lizarazo is harassment.

Are we clear that the culture of the vallenato genre is misogynistic, sexist, racketeer and mafia? I think there is no doubt. The video in which Poncho Zuleta harasses Karen Lizarazo should open a debate about the ‘great teachers’. Or can they continue to undo because they are ‘artists’?

Poncho Zuleta that folklore represents nothing, that guy is disrespectful. In a nursing home, that repudiable old man looks good.

That video where Poncho Zuleta gropes and kisses a colleague by force only produces disgust and repulsion. A sample of machismo in all its splendor, ee those who go through life believing they have the right to touch, disrespect and harass just because.
