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 home had a dirt floor and that his spelling mistakes are due to the fact that he went to school to "tell stories."
Limay, who as a child and young man had a great talent for telling Pepito's stories, formed a comedy group in the 1990s along with Ismel Gonzáles called Los Comelocos. His big opportunity came with the humor contest Los Amigos de Pepito, a comedy show that, in the format of a joke competition, launched comedians like Lemay, who won every stage of the competition: the quarterly, the semiannual, and the annual.
In 2019, she shared the news of her resignation from the Yoruba religion and her subsequent conversion to Christianity through her social media, which sparked significant controversy among her audience. Limay uses her social media not only to promote her work and announce her performances on the island but also to keep her followers informed about her personal life.
Thanks to their networks, we have learned that they contributed 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 denounce the conditions in which Cuban families live and use 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 living in extreme poverty in Pinar del Río, whom he publicly committed to help when the pandemic was over.
In January 2021, the comedian asked for help on social media for a 3-year-old girl who could lose her only remaining healthy eye after the other was removed due to eye cancer. “Her parents have no resources and are seeking assistance. She urgently needs treatment, which requires travel,” the comedian noted on social media.
Recently, the controversial comedian opened the doors of his home on his YouTube channel after receiving harsh criticism for his work helping underprivileged families, and he showed 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 its involvement in the purchase of a wheelchair for a young Cuban with a disability living in Villa Clara.
