DADDY YANKEE TO DROP NEW ALBUM, EL CARTEL 3: THE BIG BOSS

Daddy Yankee's first studio album since 2004's groundbreaking Barrio Fino promises to pour more gasolina on the fire that is reggaeton. The Cartel: The Big Boss (El Cartel/Interscope), continues to expand reggaeton's power and reach by featuring such diverse guest artists as Fergie, Jim Jones, Nicole Scherzinger from The Pussycat Dolls, Akon, and Will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas
Both Akon and Will.i.am also produce, as do Mr. ColliPark and Scott Storch (the latter producing the first single, "Impacto") along with Reggaeton producers Eli "El Musicologo", Tiny Tunes, Diesel and Menace.


For Daddy Yankee, The Cartel: The Big Boss marks the next step in a phenomenal career that has taken him from the barrios outside San Juan, Puerto Rico, to being named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world by Time magazine. "Reggaeton needs a change and I'm changing too," says Daddy Yankee. "You can't rest on the past. This album is very different. My roots are still there but now there's more, a side of me people haven't seen, including hip-hop. And I know the power music has too. I'm a leader in Latin culture. The album talks about the role we're playing in society. For people that don't know what's happening, we need to let them know what's going on."

In 2006, the live CD/DVD set Barrio Fino en Directo was the biggest selling Latin album of the year according to Billboard, was named Reggaeton Album of the Year at the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Daddy Yankee was also named Artist of the Year at the Latin Billboard Awards and MTV Video Music Awards Latinoamerica, Latin Songwriter of the Year by ASCAP and Urban Artist of the Year at Univision's Premios Lo Nuestro Awards. Along with the Time magazine honor, People en Espanol ranked him among the upcoming year's 100 Most Influential People.

With his rapid-fire freestyle flow and clever lyrics, Daddy Yankee helped pioneer the sound of reggaeton. In 2004, "Gasolina" from the studio Barrio Fino became the urban music anthem that put reggaeton on the music map and made DY its first platinum-certified star.

Daddy Yankee's influence within the genre is matched by his entrepreneurial vision. Besides being founder and CEO of his own record label and management company, he is one of Pepsi's Hispanic spokespersons and for sportswear powerhouse Reebok has created "Daddy Yankee by Rbk," a footwear, clothing and accessory line available in stores nationwide. Talento de Barrio, his first film, as actor and executive producer, is slated for a U.S. release later this year. The reggaeton star recently celebrated his first anniversary as the host of the Daddy Yankee On Fuego Radio Show, a nationally syndicated radio show on ABC Radio Networks which airs on 29 affiliates.

Daddy Yankee has not forgotten where he has come from either. For his native Puerto Rico, he was the first reggaeton artist to offer free concerts for the children of the projects. Most recently, he partnered with the Puerto Rico Department of Education to lead a school cleaning and beautification program. He also continues to be a spokesperson for the American Red Cross in the U.S. Hispanic community and a member of the Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet that reaches out to a new generation of volunteers and encourages people of all races, ages and ethnicities to support the Red Cross in their community. In 2007, Daddy Yankee will launch his own charitable organization, Fundacion Corazon Guerrero.

DON OMAR AND HAKEEM JOIN FORCES


After Don Omar's hugely successful Reggaeton concert in Cairo with Egyptian singer Hakeem, the two decide to team up on a track released on Hakeem's latest album.
After moments of tension due to a mechanical failure on a plane, he arrived in Egypt. After experiencing fear last week caused by a mechanical failure during a flight, the popular reggaeton artist Don Omar performed in Egypt alongside Hakeem to great success. They will record a duet together called “Tuigui”. This song will be included in Hakeem’s upcoming album called León de Egipto. The recording of this song marks the beginning of another phase in Don Omar’s soaring career and he thus becomes the first artist of this genre to sing alongside the Egyptian star.

The song’s video was shot yesterday in the Pyramids of Egypt. Don Omar got a reception fit for a diplomat at Cairo’s international airport on April 11. Surrounded by a score of interviewers and hundreds of fans, the singer of “Dale, don, dale” managed to leave the airport by an alternative route.

The following day, the artist gave a press conference alongside Hakeen, during which both expressed their mutual admiration and discussed their new project. Tuigui, written by the two artists, was produced by Eliel Lind and carries a strong message against racial discrimination.

The gossip is that the daring duo incorporate Argentine and Balkan influences into their Nuyorican stew this time.” – Ann Powers, Los Angeles Times*

Burger King Teams With Reggaeton

Artist Voltio Now, the burger giant is working with reggaeton artist, Voltio, for the My Music, My Style promotion to meet the tastes of younger urban consumers who incorporate their preference for reggaeton into their lives the BK Way-- A TU MANERA SM.

Reggaeton ( Reguetón )

Reggaeton (även stavningen Reguetón förekommer på spanska ) är en musikalisk genre som växte fram i Latinamerika under början av 90-talet.

De musikaliska influenserna är reggae, dancehall, hip-hop, electronica tillsammans med de latinamerikanska musikstilarna bomba, plena, merengue, bachata, cumbia och mambo.

Den karaktäristiska rytmen som kännetecknar genren kallas Dembow, och refererar till Shabba Ranks låt "Dem Bow" som först gjorde rytmen populär i tidigt 90-tal.


Idag associeras genren oftast med Puerto Rico, eftersom det var här som den fick sitt starkaste fäste och då det är landet som en större del av genrens stjärnor kommer ifrån.

Men Panama betraktas generellt som landet där reggaeton uppstod, även fast det finns en viss diskussion kring musikens rötter då det experimenterades väldigt mycket i hela detta område under denna period. Det var för att särskilja den från all den spanska reggaen som då producerades, som genren fick sitt namn under mitten av 90-talet i Puerto Rico, men även Colombia sägs ha haft inflytande på dagens reggaeton.
