“We have several cases of puppies abandoned in the trash, but especially of old people“, the artist began. “Having a shelter It's a little difficult. When I could, I have done different activities because “Many times people confuse the shelter with that one makes a profit from the animals”said.
“I have gone to sing in many places to earn, as they say, bread for my children (the dogs) and If they ask me to sing for them, I will always go and sing. Here you have me“, he claimed. Furthermore, he made a request: “People who suddenly don't want a mattress that is in good condition, all of that works for us.” Finally, he encouraged adoption: “If you have a little corner in your house, you can adopt them and give them a good quality of life.“.
How much did Yolanda Medina earn when she started singing?
Despite the popularity and success she enjoys today, Yolanda Medina had a rather tough start, since, per presentation, she did not earn even S/20. “My brother-in-law told me that a singer was missing from a group and he tells me: 'I've heard you sing in your house, why don't you leave? They are paying S/10' (…). I started to sing. That same day they heard me sing in a casino, there was an orchestra called Son Latino de Chiclayo that told me: 'Come join my group.' (…). They told me to win S/80“he explained.
Why did Yolanda Medina and Nílver Huárac distance themselves?
In 2014, tensions arose between the partners when Yolanda Medina accused Nílver Huárac of registering the name Alma Bella in Indecopi without informing her. Medina was dissatisfied not only with the appropriation of the name, but also with the way in which Huárac did it, which she considered a disregard for the work and dedication of the group members. In response, Huárac justified her action by highlighting her considerable financial and production contribution to the group.

Due to this disagreement, there are now two variants of the group: Alma Bella by Nilver Huárac and Alma Bella by Yolanda Medina, each under the leadership of their respective founders. Both versions are still active in music, advancing independently, although they share the same historical name that initially brought them recognition.
