Hernán Enrique Jiménez Pino, born on May 7, 1983, is a popular singer from Panama. Most people know him by his stage name, Makano. When he was just 12 years old, Hernán was part of a reggaeton music group called "Los Makanos." The group members made a special promise. They said that the first person to record a full music album would get to keep the group's name. In Panama and Colombia, the word "Makano" means "strong like a tree."
When Hernán was 16, he was already writing good music. However, his father wanted him to get a different job. He kept trying for several years. In 2004, he got his first big chance. He appeared on a music CD called La Alianza. After this, he was able to record more songs. These songs became very popular and were number one hits in Panama.
In 2007, Makano signed a contract with a music company called Panama Music. He then recorded his first album as a solo singer. This album was called Te Amo Rosemary. It included popular songs like "Yo Quisiera Vivir," "Te Va a Doler," "Te Amo," and "Déjame Entrar." His song "Te Amo" became a huge hit. In May 2009, it was the number one song on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart for two weeks.
