What happens is that people see the recent success, but behind it there is a lot of work,” he pointed out.\n\nThe artist stated that he felt honored by this distinction, considering that it recognizes not only his talent, but also his perseverance and his commitment to Dominican culture. “For me it is a pride that this effort is valued. This recognition comes as a reward for the dedication and love that I have always put into music,” he added.\n\nIn addition to municipal recognition, El Blachy continues to reap success in his career, being nominated again for the Soberano Awards 2026 in the category “Typical Group of the Year”, an award he has won consecutively in the last two years. Regarding the nomination, he affirmed that it is the result of the sustained work he has been doing with his team. “We are working for that. We already have two consecutive sovereigns and we remain focused,” he said.\n\nOn the international stage, the interpreter is experiencing a moment of great projection, after recently returning to the country after participating in two important events in Florida, where he shared the stage with renowned Latin music figures such as Elvis Crespo and V\u00edctor Manuelle, reaffirming his commitment to take Dominican typical merengue to international stages and continue expanding the reach of his music.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
