The bond between Carlos Baute and his eldest son, José Daniel, is strong now, but it wasn’t always that that. After years of the singer rejecting him, he finally came around in his youth and decided to shower her with the love and care he had been withholding. But not before taking her to court.
Carlos and José now get along great, sharing numerous moments together, including some on social media. They appear to have spent Christmas 2018 together, as evidenced by a TikTok video. They look really similar here, and the comparisons between the two have made quite a stir on social media once again.
In the clip, we see José Daniel singing the chorus of “Hanging on your hands” directly into the camera, and halfway through the song, a mysterious figure in a hat, sunglasses, and a mask appears and begins singing along. After a while, he realises that his identity is Carlos Baute. After completing their section of the song together, the father congratulates and embraces his son.
This film has quickly become a viral sensation, amassing over a million views across many platforms in only a few short hours. The striking similarities between father and son are often mentioned, and no one can fathom why Baute, his alleged descendent, refused to acknowledge him at the time.
The singer’s love for a girl about his own age resulted in the birth of their son, José Daniel. When she was only a teenager, she tried to claim fatherhood of Carlos, but he never accepted her. Baute had carried the burden of this story with him since before he reached adulthood.
In 2013, after a lengthy legal battle, the mother and boy were finally legally acknowledged as mother and son. Jose Daniel’s father was named in court as Carlos, but it didn’t bring the teenager any relief. He told multiple reporters that he was hopeless in interviews.

In 2013, after a lengthy legal battle, the mother and boy were finally legally acknowledged as mother and son. Jose Daniel’s father was named in court as Carlos, but it didn’t bring the teenager any relief. In a series of interviews with the press, he expressed complete despondency.
While he was struggling to make ends meet in Baeza, Jaen, in 2020, a court ordered Baute to start giving his son a pension of 1,400 euros per month. Simultaneously, the singer’s redemption process had begun.
The young man’s mother set the wheels in motion that led to Carlos and José striking up a conversation. He finally found someone to share his life with after years of feeling alone and rejected: a singer. After he took full responsibility, the wound started healing, and now they have a lovely, harmonious relationship.
