Ahmed González's trumpet stolen in Havana

Trumpeter Ahmed González reported that his instrument was stolen after someone broke a window of his car on Monte Street in Havana. González, a member of Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor, said the incident occurred Friday, October 30. The theft led him to ask for help locating the trumpet while he needed another instrument to continue working in Alamar.

The stolen trumpet is a Yamaha and, according to González, is essential to his professional activity. The musician described the incident in a video shared on Facebook, saying someone broke the vehicle's window and took the instrument. His appeal centered on obtaining help finding it because it is a tool he uses in his work as a trumpeter.

In the recording, González described the theft and asked anyone with information to help recover the trumpet. The request was directed both to the public and to the musical community. He made the situation public after the incident on Monte Street, and his account identified where the car had been left and how the instrument was taken.

Trumpeter Alexander Abreu lent González a trumpet so he could work in Alamar. That support gave him an instrument with which to continue his activity while the search for his own remained pending. The loan does not change the purpose of González's appeal: recovering the Yamaha he said was stolen from his car after a window was broken.

González belongs to Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor, and the stolen instrument is tied to his work as a musician. In the shared video, he directly described the incident and asked for help finding the trumpet. The reported theft occurred on Monte Street in Havana, and Abreu's immediate response was to lend him another instrument so he could meet his work commitments in Alamar.
