Yomil recently shared an emotional post with his followers on social media, reminiscing about a special moment during a concert with his late musical partner, El Dany. In his Instagram post, Yomil recounted how the chorus of their hit song "Pega Pega" (2016) was created on the spot.
"The legacy will never fall to the ground. That day, the 'Pega Pega' chorus was improvised, and from there the song was born. What @yomilyeldany had was real and from the heart," Yomil wrote in his message, accompanied by a video of the concert. "If that had happened today with the experience and sound we've acquired live, it would be another level of madness," he added, closing the post with the hashtag #prohibidoolvidar, a clear tribute to El Dany's legacy.
The post not only resonated with Yomil's followers but also with artists and well-known figures in the urban genre, who expressed their admiration and nostalgia in the comments. "Aguaaaaaaaa! The levels are different," commented Alain Pérez, who revealed last July that on the day of El Dany's death, upon hearing the news, he wrote a song "from the depths of my sorrow."
Other comments included, "The hardest, asere full," "The hardest duo in Cuba's history," "Tremendous vibe, the best," "If the party didn't heat up, it's because @yomilyeldany didn't play," "That style, I know it heats up," "The best the island has given from 2015 to date, and it will be forever," "When it was worth paying the high cover charges," "Just like that... Those of us who have truly followed you from the beginning are aware that in these times you would still be breaking the league very hard. YD will remain in the history of Cuba's urban genre and in the hearts of all of us who enjoyed your projects to the max," "Legends never die," "The best live show from 2015 to the present," "The hardest in Cuba, kid," "It's another showbiz, another type of popularity."
