How to book **Jacob Forever** — author of "Hasta Que Se Seque El Malecón" — for an event in Europe in 2026: verified career, event fit and actual July availability.
Jacob Forever is one of the cubaton names with the strongest international momentum, author of the anthem "Hasta Que Se Seque El Malecón". If you're considering booking him for a summer date in Europe in 2026, this guide sums up the essentials.
Who he is
His real name is Yosdany Jacob Carmenates and he was born in Camagüey, Cuba. In 2005 he joined Gente de Zona, where he stayed for around nine years before going solo in 2013. With Gente de Zona he recorded "Lo mejor que suena ahora vol. II" and other material.
In 2015 he released "Hasta Que Se Seque El Malecón" as a solo single, included on the album "El Inmortal". The song dominated the Latin Billboard charts in 2016 and stayed two months in the digital sales top 10, leading to his signing with Sony Music Latin. The music video — shot in Havana — has tens of millions of views and is arguably the most internationally recognisable cubaton anthem.
