Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You

Don Omar is a platinum-selling reggaeton artist based out of San Juan, New York City, and Miami. He’s also the guy who trumped Britney Spears for most albums sold during an in-store appearance at Disney World’s Virgin Megastore. And now the Puerto Rican playa and owner of Orfanato Music Group is bringing his highly anticipated Meet the Orphans club tour to downtown Latin party-animal hangout 90 Degree.
Late last year, Omar dropped a compilation album titled Meet the Orphans, featuring Latin Grammy-nominated “Hasta Abajo.” But even before that triumph, there was the hit party-track “Dale Don Dale,” a song that isn’t just the single that put him on the map, but a rallying cry and a way of life. His music has even made the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto IV.
In short, the Omar brand is on the verge of going mainstream. And currently, the Don is building hype for the highly anticipated release of his iDon solo album. So consider yourself lucky to catch him at such an intimate venue. In Bolivia, he performed in the national soccer stadium.
