Daddy Yankee
(Artistic name of Raymond or Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez; San Juan de Puerto Rico, 1977) Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and producer, one of the most prominent representatives of reggaeton. The rich variety and vitality of Latin American music today comes from both the evolution and the emergence of new musical genres and their constant fusion; The popularization of a new style that, like so many others, had been slowly gesticulating from previous and recent trends: reggaeton or reggaeton dates back to the end of the 1990s.
The combination of Jamaican reggae with hip hop and
African American rap gave rise to this dance style of syncopated rhythm that,
executed electronically and accompanied by recited lyrics of strong social or
erotic content, soon caused a furor among young people. Although the background
of reggaeton can be traced outside of Puerto Rico, it has finally been
considered a Puerto Rican genre; certainly, the island was its main focus of
irradiation, and native of this country are pioneers such as Vico C and its top
disseminators and interpreters, among which stand out Wisin and Yandel, Don
Omar and Daddy Yankee himself.
Ramon (reymon) Luis Ayala Rodríguez (San Juan,
February 3, 1976 or 1977), known as Daddy Yankee, is a singer, actor, film
producer, radio host, and Puerto Rican businessman.
Various sectors of criticism consider him "The King of Reggaeton" and one of the most respected and influential genre artists, while the US portal Allmusic says the Puerto Rican singer "helped establish reggaeton as a style of music during the XXI century".
Early Days
In the early 1990s, hip-hop was overshadowed by Spanish reggae
coming in from Panama and rather than make a decision for one type of
music over another, Yankee and like-minded friends began to rap over the
popular dancehall music, creating a new musical fusion that over time
was named reggaeton.
From his experience with the active street life around him, Yankee
had plenty to rap about. For instance, the budding performer had
originally hoped for a career in baseball, but when he was 17, he was
inadvertently caught in the middle of a barrio shoot-out and was shot in
the leg, ending his professional baseball dreams.
Daddy Yankee Records First Album
While hip hop and rap were still underground movements in Puerto
Rico, there was one club where the new fusion was welcome called The
Noise. Yankee started hanging out with the rappers and DJs at the club,
and there he met the DJ/producer Playero, who gave him his start,
featuring the budding artist on the 1992 album Playero 37, and who helped him with his full-length debut album, No Mercy, that was released in 1995. No Mercy did not receive much recognition, and Yankee continued recording as a guest artist on several other albums.
El Cartel
In 2000 and 2001, Yankee independently released El Cartel and El Cartel Vol 2, albums that were very well-received in Puerto Rico, but received little attention in the outside world. In 2003, El Cangri.com caught the attention of urban music fans in Miami and New York, but it was with 2004’s Barrio Fino that brought him global recognition and debuted at the top of the Latin music charts.
Daddy Yankee Becomes Star With 'Barrio Fino'
Barrio Fino owed its phenomenal success to two singles that
kept the album at the top of the charts for over a year. Surprisingly,
while “Gasolina” made it to the top of Billboard’s "Hot 100" and even
today may well be the single that non-Latinos associate with reggaeton,
the album’s phenomenal success within the Latino community was “Lo Que
Paso, Paso.”
With “Rompe” from the 2005 album Barrio Fino en Directo, Daddy Yankee became the worldwide name associated with reggaeton. Barrio Fino en Directo
was released under his own label, El Cartel, and quickly reached
platinum status. Yankee then turned his energies to trading in on his
name; he crafted deals with everyone from Reebok to Pepsi and, in many
ways, became more of an entrepreneur than a musical artist.
El Cartel: The Big Boss
In 2007, his long-awaited album El Cartel: The Big Boss was
released to continued success. But straight reggaeton was starting to
wane and Yankee was ready; in an attempt to broaden the scope of
reggaeton’s popularity, the new album featured a stellar guest list that
included Akon, will.i.am and Fergie of the Black-Eyed Peas and Scott
Storch, among others.
Recently, Daddy Yankee has turned his attention to the movie
industry. His film about a man from the barrio who finds salvation
through urban music, Talento de Barrio, is currently in release. Yankee claims the film is only very roughly autobiographical.
