Boni and Kelly

Boni and Kelly is a Cuban pop and ballad music duo (BNK) composed of siblings Ebblis Mai Valdivia Díaz, better known as El Boni, born on April 16, 1979 in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba, and Kelly Valdivia Díaz, born on May 17, 1982 in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba.

Boni graduated from the National School of Arts in Cuba with a degree in Acting and made his acting debut on the island's television in a well-known Cuban series, "Los Descamisados." He was part of the youth music group "Chikcola," performing pop music, and was also a member of important musical ensembles on the island such as the salsa orchestra "BM Expreso" and Giraldo Piloto's popular orchestra, Klimax. Later on, he joined La Charanga Habanera, with whom he established himself as a singer and increased his popularity. With La Charanga, Boni took part in multiple tours and recorded the albums "Soy cubano, soy popular" and "Charanga Light."

It was precisely the song written for him by David Calzado, director of Charanga Habanera, that gave him the nickname he is known by. "El Boni," who "was amazed but had a million friends," became one of the most popular hits of Cuban timba in the 90s.

Later on, he joined his brother to form the duo BNK.

On the other hand, Kelly graduated, first, from the "Samuel Feijóo" Professional School of Art, specializing in folk dance, and later from the Higher Institute of Art as a folk dance dancer and teacher.

In her singing career, she joined "Klimax," where she occupied the position of vocalist left by her brother, and later "El Clan," by Pedro Camacho.

Later, the brothers left the island and settled in Spain.

Albums: In 2007, they released their first CD "Life is", achieving great success. In 2008, they released "Fanatic", in 2009 "Give me your hand", in 2011 "Everyone falls in love", and in 2018, "What's up".

In 2014, they returned to Cuba after 7 years abroad and premiered "Fuera de cobertura" on the island.

His song "Vuelve Negra," included in a compilation of songs by different artists in the album "Caribe Fruto Prohibido" (2007), was one of the hits that played the most on the radio in Spain that year.
