SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013<\/strong> The renowned Dominican trumpeter Jullys N\u00fa\u00f1ez, a fundamental figure in the formation of Eddy Herrera’s first orchestra, passed away after a battle with cancer, as reported this Sunday by the merengue singer himself through his social media.<\/p>\n\n\nEddy Herrera, visibly moved, shared an emotional message in which he remembered N\u00fa\u00f1ez as one of his great friends and as the man with whom, in January 1990, he began to structure his first musical group after separating from Wilfrido Vargas.\n\n“Jullys was the person who helped me organize my orchestra from day one. He was also its director. More than a musician, he was a brother,” the artist wrote on his Instagram account.\n\n\n

A legacy that goes beyond the stage<\/h3>\n\n\nHerrera also highlighted Jullys’ personal virtues, whom he described as an exceptional human being. “He was quite a gentleman, disciplined, talented, noble, always cheerful, always in harmony. We used to call each other ‘vieeejo’. My old friend, why did you leave me! May God have you in glory. I still don’t believe it,” he expressed with deep sadness.\n\nN\u00fa\u00f1ez’s legacy transcends the musical: he was an essential part of the sound identity of Herrera’s solo project, participating not only as a trumpet player, but also in the arrangements and direction of the orchestra in its early years.\n\n\n

Reactions in the artistic world<\/h3>\n\n\nEvelio Herrera, Eddy’s brother and the artist’s former manager, also lamented N\u00fa\u00f1ez’s passing, remembering him as a loyal man committed to music.\n\nNumerous musicians and merengue fans have expressed their sorrow at the passing of Jullys N\u00fa\u00f1ez, whom they recognize as a respected and beloved figure within the artistic guild.\n\nThe passing of N\u00fa\u00f1ez represents a significant loss for Dominican merengue, especially for those who witnessed the consolidation of Eddy Herrera’s career and his emblematic orchestra.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
