With his unique style, powerful voice and distinguished look, Yani Borrell "El Elegante" is considered one of the foremost exponents of modern day salsa. A powerful entertainer and inventive improviser, Yani began his professional career at the age of 17 as the lead singer of Orquesta Ideal, a well-known orchestra from his hometown of Camaguey. Touring Cuba with a variety of popular show bands gave Yani the opportunity to develop his distinctive vocal style and dynamic stage presence.

Since moving to Toronto in 2004, Yani Borrell has been a leader on the Canadian Latin music scene. Co-founder of some of the most important Latin groups in Canada, he has shared the stage with salsa legends such as Andy Montañez, Cándido Fabré, Pupy y los que Son Son and Los Van Van.
