Limay Blanco, also known as Muñi Muñi, is a Cuban comedian born in the Silvio Caro neighborhood of Bahía Honda, in the Pinar del Río municipality. Coming from very humble beginnings, he has stated on several occasions that his house had a dirt floor and that his spelling mistakes are due to the fact that he went to school to "tell stories."
Limay, who had a great talent for telling the stories of Pepito when he was young, formed a comedy group in the 1990s alongside Ismel Gonzáles called Los Comelocos. His big break came with the comedy contest Los Amigos de Pepito, a humorous show that followed a joke competition format and launched comedians like Lemay, who won every phase of the competition: the quarterly, the semiannual, and the annual.
In 2019, he shared the news of his resignation from the Yoruba religion and his subsequent conversion to Christianity through his social media, which sparked significant controversy among his audience. Limay uses his social media not only to promote his work and announce his performances on the island but also to keep his followers informed about his private life.
Thanks to his networks, we have learned that he provided assistance while working in the USA with those affected by the tornado that devastated several areas of Havana in January 2019. It is common to see Limay denouncing the conditions in which Cuban families live and using the power of social media to seek help.
Thus, he did it in 2020 following a publication that highlighted the desperate situation of a mother and her five young children, who live in extreme poverty in Pinar del Río, to whom he publicly committed to help once the pandemic was over.
In January 2021, the comedian asked for help on social media for a 3-year-old girl who could lose the only healthy eye she has left, after the other was removed due to eye cancer. “Her parents have no resources and are asking for help. She urgently needs treatment, which requires her to travel,” the comedian commented on social media.
Recently, the controversial comedian opened the doors to his home on his YouTube channel after receiving harsh criticism for his efforts in helping underprivileged families, showcasing that everything he owns is the result of his hard work. He also reiterated his desire to build a cabaret with the aim of raising money to continue his charitable work.
In November 2020, it made news for being involved in the purchase of a wheelchair for a young Cuban with a disability living in Villa Clara.
