Along with Juan Formell and Los Van Van Mayito Rivera, voted best singer in a poll at timba.com, improvises or is possessed by San Lazaro, known as Babalu Aye in the Santeria tradition. On December 17th devotees make a pilgrimage to El Rincon to honor San Lazaro and ask for health, sometimes taking days to crawl there. John Lennon is also considered a modern day saint by some, and Mayito feels strongly about the universal power of the song Hey Jude. At the end the special moment is disrupted by an uninvited Yuma who confuses Mayito with Desi Arnaz. "Que bolá, San La?".
