Canserbero

Canserbero
Tirone José González Orama (March 11, 1988 – January 20, 2015), known by his stage name Canserbero, was a Venezuelan rapper, composer and activist, considered one of the most significant exponents of independent rap in his country and in the rest of Latin America.
Since he was young, he showed interest in music, mainly influenced by reggaeton but, after the murder of his half brother, his musical references changed to more critical genres such as hip hop and hard rock, appreciable in songs like "Es épico".
Canserbero, throughout his career, released two studio albums as a soloist, Vida (2010) and Muerte (2012) respectively, and had several notorious songs such as "Pensando en ti", "Es épico", "C'est la mort", "Maquiavélico", among others. He also participated as a vocalist in several songs of artists from Latin America and Spain as Mala Rodríguez, with whom he recorded a song entitled "Ella" (2013). In January 2015, Canserbero was found dead after having fallen from an apartment in Maracay. There are several hypotheses about his death.
Career
At the age of eleven, he began performing rap performances under the stage name of Canserbero a jargon of Latinism cerbero dog (in Latin, canis cerberus) meaning "guardian", an allusion to Cerberus of Greek mythology.
Personal life
He was born on March 11, 1988, in the General Hospital of Lídice Dr. Jesús Yerena of the city of Caracas, as Tirone José González Orama. He was the son of José Rafael González Ollarves and Leticia Coromoto Oramas. Later, his parents moved with him to Maracay. In 1997, his mother died and was left under the care of his father.
Death
Canserbero died in an apparent murder on January 20, 2015, in Maracay.
On January 20, 2015, Canserbero was found dead in front of his apartment. The artist fell from the tenth floor of the Camino Real building in the Andrés Bello urbanization in Maracay. Initially, some of his close friends maintained that the artist stayed in the apartment of bassist Carlos Molnar, a friend and co-worker, since he had schizophrenia. Molnar was killed that same day by stabbing. On the other hand, the Ombudsman of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, in March of the same year, reopened the case, since there were other additional details that straighten some hypotheses of the "witnesses". The first hypothesis is based on the fact that the kitchen window was made of romanillas and all the glasses were previously removed, which causes intrigue, given the "presumed" psychotic state in which Canserbero was used at the time of launching. [Quote required] "Having taken the romanillas out of the window indicates method, not despair," says the defender, who relies on the sisters' testimony to indicate that the romanillas were not at the time of Canserbero's fall, "but someone put them back later", he said.
While depressed (although family members stated that he did not have any mental illness), he was asked by Carlos Molnar, bassist for Zion TPL, to stay with him.
Allegedly, Canserbero stabbed Molnar to death and then jumped to his own death from the tenth floor of the building. However, several members of his family have expressed several doubts regarding the police investigation.
Activism
In 2013, Canserbero participated in the non-profit organization "24-0", which is based on respect for life and zero violent deaths. "How not to join this noble cause, because as the pianist César López says: even if you think differently, you should never kill people", said Canserbero.
After the death of Canserbero, family and friends created the "Fundación El Canserbero", which focuses on supporting the realization of objectives created under the premise of collective design in communities from literature, sports and various cultural manifestations.
Policy
Canserbero criticized the Venezuelan government on more than one occasion. He came to define the policies of Chavismo as "a good idea, but with a debatable application", and he even dedicated his own rhymes critically to the former Venezuelan president, Hugo Chávez. In 2013, he ironized on Twitter: "I'm waiting for Nicolás Maduro to remove the ends of his mustache. Nothing is missing”, alluding to Adolf Hitler. Even one of his many songs, like "De Venezuela" for example, has been taken as a clear opinion about the government. All the criticisms by the rapper, his sociopolitical position, and the inspiration he was creating in listeners of his music, also lead to theories which ensure that he could have been assassinated by the Venezuelan government at that time.
