Santo Domingo.– Dominican salsa singer Yiyo Sarante expressed his joy after being recognized as Salsa Singer of the Year at the Soberano Awards, highlighting that the award represents an important boost for his career. "I feel very happy... at first I was a little confused, I didn't understand anything, but I am happy with what is happening with my career," he confessed with a laugh when recalling the moment he was announced as the winner. The interpreter thanked God and the public who have supported him so much in the Dominican Republic as well as in other countries in the region.

"Thanking our Lord Jesus Christ, the Dominican public, and also those in Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru... happy," he expressed.

Regarding the possibility of venturing into collaborations with urban artists, Sarante assured that he has already taken steps in that direction, although without abandoning his salsa essence.

“I have many collaborations with urban artists… recently a song came out with Químico Ultra Mega, where El Clasicom and La Insuperable also participate, but it's salsa. Singing in dembow, I don't think so,” he clarified.

Reflecting on the path that led him to obtain this statuette, the artist was emphatic that there are no magic formulas. "The most important thing in an artist's career is constant work. I am always working: if I'm not at a party, I'm in the studio or on tour. That's the little 'key', because the trick doesn't exist," he affirmed. During the meeting with the press, Sarante also proudly highlighted his roots in the province of Barahona, which he defined as "the sweetest province" and one of the main cradles of salsa in the country. "From there have come great talents like Víctor Waill, José Bello... it's the province of salsa in the Dominican Republic," he highlighted.
