Gómez paved the way for great references in popular music such as Jessi Uribe, Yeison Jiménez, Jhonny Rivera, Paola Jara, Alzate, Pipe Bueno, among many others. He was also part of a golden generation that included Luis Alberto Posada and El Charrito Negro.

Two years have passed, and Colombians continue to mourn the loss of the Antioquian artist. In fact, at the time of his death, he had several concerts scheduled in different regions of the country.

Due to his great success, Darío was one of the most sought-after singers by promoters and event organizers, so many commitments remained unfulfilled.
