    Billboard Latin Music Awards: The Winners and Losers

    Daddy Yankee Does the "Lovumba" at 90 Degree in Miami on December 10

    ​It's been five full years since Time Magazine named Daddy Yankee to its list of the 100 most influential people on the planet. And using the mag's metaphor, the recording industry's registers were ringing like mad over reggaeton in 2006. "Yankee has sold 2 million copies of his album Barrio ... More >>

    Alexis y Fido Bring That Ass-Rumbling Reggaeton to La Covacha June 18

    ​Does anyone ever get the feeling that, despite living in Miami, the only way to catch some good Latin music is overhearing it playing at ass-rumbling volume from your Cuban neighbors' backyard while they celebrate whatever minor event they've decided to celebrate that night?

    Reggaeton Might Be Dead, But Wisin Y Yandel Never Went Away

    ​For the last few years, there have been people asking: Is reggaeton dead? Or is it just hiding out in the hills of Puerto Rico, waiting for the world's pop music clocks to rewind all the way back to 2006? Sure, this line of questioning might be totally bogus, as it was with rock 'n' roll and punk ... More >>

    Tony Dize Finds the Money on the Dance Floor at La Covacha This Saturday

    ​Few reggaeton artists possess the suave flow required to believably move from spraying gasolina to romancing the masses. But Tony Dize doesn't consider himself a mere reggaetonero. He's "the melody of the streets," a ponytailed Don Juan who harmonizes, rap-sings, and straddles the line between ... More >>

    Cosculluela Talks the Latin Grammy Street Party and Working With Wisin y Yandel

    ​Reggaeton has pretty closely mimicked the rise to prominence of hip-hop. It started early in the streets of Puerto Rico, a rougher, edgier version of the club bouncers you hear today and it was known then simply as "underground."
