Biography / Biographie
Born Juan Luis Morera and Llandel Veguilla
respectively, the duo of Wisín & Yandel are a bright
hot comet of rhythm and dynamic energy making their mark in
a genre that fuels today’s hottest musical movement,
Reggaeton. A musical genre that distinguishes itself and sets
itself apart by fusing Jamaican dancehall with Panamanian
reggae root. Setting themselves apart with music so unique
that it has the ability to cross gender lines and appeal to
all races and ages, Wisín & Yandel have quickly
become household names on the music scene and as respected
artists.
Hailing
from Puerto Rico and crediting their musical influences to
Reggaeton pioneers Vico C and El General, this dynamic duo
lays down their own particular stamp on the world of Reggaeton,
making them not only original, but a breath of fresh air with
insightful lyrics and a drive for excellence that refuses
the thought of mediocrity. Their love for music is their bond
and their unique chemistry lyrically and as performers is
what sets them apart. Evidenced by their hits Rákata
and Mayor que yo, their forthcoming album "Pal’
Mundo" promises to be their best album yet, as respected
friends and colleagues the likes of Grupo Aventura, Daddy
Yankee, Don Omar and Hector "el Bambino" collaborate
and lend their particular styles to this dynamic twosome.
They consider as their driving force the support received
from their families, something well evidenced in their upcoming
album where their excellent fusions reflect growth and maturity,
while continuing to honor the genre for which they are known.
They
have raised the bar and set the standard as the first rappers
to receive a nomination to the prestigious Billboard Awards,
and have seen all of their albums go gold. They have been
awarded at Premios Tu Música in 2002, and continue
to strive not only for excellence amongst their peers but
amongst their fans. Most recently, they had a highly successful
appearance at the awards show Premios Juventud, where they
not only presented an award, but also delighted the audience
with their song "Rakata" and sang the hit song "Mayor
que Yo" with Daddy Yankee, Baby Rasta and Tony Tun Tun.
As an added bonus in their strive for excellence, they are
men with a purpose and a social conscience. They lend both
their time and their name to foundations and charities like
the Carlos Arroyo Association, and the Home for Children Living
with AIDS to name a few. And, as all men with a purpose, they
will continue to deliver their own brand of reggaeton , determined
to keep us not only dancing, but expecting from them the same
degree of excellence that they expect from themselves.
