Urban music artist Yomil Hidalgo Puentes has once again shown his loyalty and affection for his late friends, fellow Cuban reggaeton stars El Taiger and El Dany. On November 18, the musician visited their graves to lay flowers and honor their memories, a gesture that has become a deeply significant tradition.
For El Dany, Yomil has maintained the ritual of visiting his grave on the 18th of each month since El Dany's untimely death in 2020 at the age of 31. "Always in my mind and heart, brother," Yomil wrote on social media, echoing sentiments he frequently shares about his former duo partner from the iconic group Yomil y El Dany.
Extending Tribute Beyond Borders
In addition to his homage to El Dany, Yomil has now extended his tribute to El Taiger, another beloved figure in Cuban urban music who recently passed away in Miami. Despite the geographical distance, Yomil felt compelled to honor the colleague and friend who made a significant impact on his life and the music scene.
The solemn visit took place at the Cemetery of Columbus in Havana, one of Cuba's most renowned burial grounds. There, Yomil placed flowers on both artists' graves, an act filled with symbolism and nostalgia.
Emotional Connection and Public Support
Yomil shared images of the poignant moment on his Instagram stories, showing him placing flowers at the graves and accompanying the post with a simple yet moving message: "For Jose and Dany." His gesture has been met with applause from his followers, who commend his steadfast dedication to those who played a vital role in his life.
Both El Dany and El Taiger were pivotal figures in Cuban urban music, and their legacies endure in both their musical contributions and in the hearts of their fans and close friends. Yomil has been open about the emotional toll these losses have taken on him, and acts like this demonstrate his commitment to keeping the memories of his friends alive.
The musical community and fans have shown their support and solidarity with Yomil, who continues to confront these losses with resilience and dedication to his craft. This tribute serves as a reminder of the respect and unity that persist among Cuban artists, transcending even the bounds of life.
