Yomil y el Dany is a Cuban duo in the urban genre. The group was formed on August 15, 2015, and quickly captivated thousands of fans both in Cuba and abroad.
It is composed of Roberto Hidalgo Puentes (Yomil), born in Havana on October 9, 1991, and Daniel Muñoz (el Dany), also from Havana, born on January 6, 1989, who unexpectedly passed away on July 18, 2020.
When this duo began in 2015, Yomil was working as a mechanic, and El Dany was a medical student. In 2009, they had formed a group called DpuntoD, but despite achieving moderate success in nightclubs in Havana and on social media, that project did not go far, and they parted ways in 2011.
They reunited in 2015, this time adopting lyrics and a sound that was more direct, more colloquial, and much more infectious among fans of reggaeton and trap.
They distinguished themselves from the competition among Cuban groups with a more aggressive strategy, in the style of American reggaeton and rap, known as traptón, refining it until they became the pioneers of the genre on the island.
This sound that characterizes them consists of hip hop, rap, and trap, and also incorporates elements of traditional Cuban music into the foundation of reggaeton.
The first single by Yomil y el Dany was titled "Tengo" and was a remix of "Truffle Butter," a song by Nicki Minaj. The duo's debut album, "Doping," was also released in 2015 and gained popularity with two tracks, "Rikaperry" and "Estamos pa to’."
In 2016, they released their second album, Sobredosis, which reached top positions among Latin albums that summer.
A year later, they had already established themselves among the top groups in the genre and were nominated for the Billboard Latin Music Award, alongside renowned Cuban artists such as Osmani García, Pitbull, and Gente de Zona.
Yomil and El Dany recorded six albums between 2015 and 2017. Their hits were shared through the “package” of audiovisual content sold in the underground market in Cuba and via social media. In this way, they achieved extraordinary success without the backing of Cuban cultural institutions.
In 2018, the video for the song "Tú me debes algo" changed that hostile landscape, and their music began to be heard in Cuban media. The duo gained support to perform even internationally.
Yomil y el Dany were a prolific duo from every standpoint, especially in terms of their discography. Their albums have had a significant impact on urban music.
On July 18, 2020, the death of El Dany shocked Cubans both on the island and abroad. Daniel Muñoz passed away in Havana due to an acute cardiovascular condition. Yomil continues his career as a solo artist.
