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 origins, he has stated on several occasions that his house had a dirt floor and that his spelling mistakes are due to his attending school to "tell stories."
Limay, who had a strong passion for telling Pepito's stories as a child and young man, 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 humorous show structured as a joke competition that launched comedians like Lemay, who won all the stages of the contest: the quarterly, the semiannual, and the annual.
In 2019, he shared through his social media the news of his resignation from the Yoruba religion and his subsequent conversion to Christianity, which sparked significant controversy among his audience. Limay uses his social media not only to promote his work and inform people about his performances on the island but also to keep his followers updated on his personal life.
Thanks to his networks, we have been able to learn that he contributed with 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 living in extreme poverty in Pinar del Río, to whom he publicly committed 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 could lose the only healthy eye she has left, after the other was removed due to eye cancer. “Her parents lack resources and are asking for help. She urgently needs treatment, for which it is essential that she travels,” 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 work helping underprivileged families, showing that everything he has is the result of his labor. 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 headlines for being involved in the purchase of a wheelchair for a young Cuban with disabilities living in Villa Clara.
