Puerto Rico has a rich history of musical excellence and most Latin artists should have no difficulty listing off at least one Boricua whose music has been an influence.

Wesly’s musical career began with the tropical sounds of the band’s rehearsals that defined his childhood and their legacy will continue to … [Read more...]

Jason & Negri are a Latin Urban duo from Springfield, Massachusetts ,who I believe are of Puerto Rican heritage (Jason for sure). This group has pretty much been an underground duo floating below the radar, although they have been featured on a pair of reggaeton tracks with the artists Gotay and Carlitos Rossy.

El Cangri, Daddy Yankee, certainly doesn’t disappoint with the new video release of “Perros Salvaje.” Reminiscent of that early 2000’s reggaeton that brought the genre to the international spotlight, The Big Boss’ latest hit warrants all of that doggy-style perreo grinding that some of his earlier songs like “Rompe” and “Gasolina” brought to the music scene. It definitely has that grime that early reggaeton had, which is a refreshing contrast from most of the reggaeton on … [Read more...]
