The popular Cuban reggaeton artist Yomil surprised his fans this weekend by sharing an emotional moment he experienced during Manolín "El Médico de la Salsa's" concert at the Capri Club in Havana.
In the middle of his performance, Manolín called Yomil to the stage to perform the classic song "Arriba de la bola" as a duet, igniting the excitement of the audience present.
After the performance, Yomil shared the video of the meeting on his Instagram account and dedicated a message of respect to the timbero:
"The new generations have no idea that what is happening today in the scene is thanks to this great man named @manolinelmedico, and for him to step off the stage to invite me to perform is an immense honor for me. My mom and my aunt know what I’m talking about, and I know they are proud of me because in the 90s, when timba was at its peak and I was a kid, the hardest sounds in Cuba and Miami came from Manolín, no exaggeration. Thank you for everything, man."
Fans of both artists reacted enthusiastically to the post, highlighting the significance of this musical gesture and the connection between generations
"Likewise, buddy, that defined our generation, pure corner fun," "The new generation needs more connection to Cuban music," "Who among us didn't enjoy the biggest hits from Cuba in the '90s?" or "That's why you're so great in the urban genre, because you know where you come from and where you're taking it. My respect, affection, and admiration always," are some of the comments that can be read in the post.
The gathering at the Capri brought together a legend of timba and one of the most influential figures of the current urban genre on the Island, affirming the relevance of Cuban music in all its forms.
