Limay Blanco, also known as Muñi Muñi, is a Cuban comedian born in the Silvio Caro neighborhood in Bahía Honda, 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 the stories of Pepito, formed a comedy group in the 1990s with Ismel Gonzáles called Los Comelocos. His big break came with the comedy contest Los Amigos de Pepito, a humor program in the format of a joke competition that launched comedians like Lemay, who won all stages 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 considerable 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 inform his followers about his private life.
Thanks to her networks, we have learned that she contributed with assistance while working in the USA with the victims of 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.
In 2020, he did this following a publication that highlighted the desperate situation of a mother and her five young children living in extreme poverty in Pinar del Río, to whom he publicly pledged to help once the pandemic was over.
In January 2021, the comedian appealed for help on social media for a 3-year-old girl who might lose her only healthy eye after the other was removed due to eye cancer. “Her parents lack resources and are asking for help. She urgently needs treatment, which requires travel,” the comedian commented on social media.
Recently, the controversial comedian opened the doors of his home on his YouTube channel after receiving harsh criticism for his efforts in helping underprivileged families, showcasing that everything he has 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 becoming involved in the purchase of a wheelchair for a young Cuban with a disability living in Villa Clara.
