Wisin expressed words of praise for the Cuban duo Dany Ome y Kevincito El 13 in an interview, acknowledging that the group caught his attention so much that he began searching for information about the genre and the two Cuban artists.
The Puerto Rican reggaeton artist was direct in assessing the moment the duo is experiencing: "I want to congratulate them because they are entering a space where they have no competition. Tell me, which new duo has come out right now? None. They are entering the industry on their own and they are breaking through."
Wisin also mentioned that he has been closely following the duo's collaborations, including the work they did with Ozuna and the song they just released with Michael Flores. He clarified that he makes these statements "with great humility" because he is "in a different" stage of his career, which adds even more significance to his acknowledgment.
Dany Ome's reaction came quickly. The Cuban artist shared the clip on his Instagram account with an emotional message that garnered over 35,100 likes and more than 1,043 comments.
"Wooow, to wake up and see the legend say these words. First, thank you God, second, thank you to Ozuna and Michael Flores for giving me the opportunity to represent my country and our genre, which we have defended for so many years," wrote Dany Ome, adding that Wisin "made him cry" with his words.
In the comments, Dany Ome addressed Kevincito El 13 and Magdielito Bonucci to remind them of what he always told them: "Only God knows how much we have talked about this. They call me crazy, but I believe every day in the power of God. I told you it was like the duo of history, and look. Wisin, thank you, maestro."
The artist closed his post with a phrase that captures the spirit of the moment: "Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, one single family."
Wisin's praise comes at one of the best moments in the duo's career. On April 23, they released “Paciente” featuring Ozuna, a track that surpassed 109,000 streams and 14,000 likes within its first few hours, following a preview that had garnered more than 668,000 views.
In May, the duo expanded their reach by participating in "Algo Bonito REMIX" alongside the Spanish artists Nyno Vargas and Omar Montes, a fusion of flamenco and urban music that enhanced their international presence.
Wisin, whose real name is Juan Luis Morera Luna, is one of the founding figures of Latin reggaeton, alongside Yandel.
It is not the first time that the Puerto Rican has shown closeness to the Cuban community: on July 7, he publicly confessed that "my whole life I've wanted to go to Cuba to give a concert", after performing at Milander Park, Hialeah, on July 4.
Dany Ome summarized it with a few words that encapsulate what this recognition means for the Cuban cast: "The one who really knows has already spoken."
