About the Artist

Born Juan Luis Morera and Llandel Veguilla respectively, the duo of Wisin & 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. 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.. With their latest release, Wisin vs. Yandel `Los Extraterrestres', the duo's first studio album since `Pa'l Mundo' in 2005, they are set for world dominance. Lead by the electric single "Sexy Movimiento", the album features nineteen tracks of pure energy and a couple of surprises as well. In an evolution of sound, this album features special vocal appearances by Don Omar, Fat Joe, Eve and Franco De Vita. Evidenced by a few years of non-stop success, with major wins at Latin Billboard Awards, Premios Juventud, and Latin Grammy nominations, the "Dúo de la Historia" (History's Duo) ensures many more hits in the future. Three million albums sold, a Top 10 album for forty-eight consecutive weeks, and one of the most downloaded artists; Wisin and Yandel has brought the public such hits as "Rakata", Pam Pam", "Yo Te Quiero" and "Noche de Sexo" with a fury and energy that can only be described as the New York Times simply raved: "Triumphant, clearly, for these two, but triumphant also for the genre." Despite living the crazy life traveling, selling out shows all over the world, and selling millions of records, the duo finds time to just "be". They find home in Puerto Rico where they say is where they can feel grounded and spend time with family. They also find the time to give back. They believe it is important to have a social conscience and 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. This is only the beginning for Wisin and Yandel. The "Duo Dinámico" is just that a dynamic force of nature that has captivated the world with their infectious style. 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.

Juan Luis Morera y Llandel Veguilla, conocidos como el dúo Wisin y Yandel, son como una explosión de ritmos y energía que han dejado su marca en el género más "pegao" del momento, Reggaetón. Un género musical que se distingue por su fusión de "Reggae Roots" y "Dancehall" jamaiquino, combinado con el Rap y Reggae panameño. Este dúo dinámico le pone su toque especial al mundo del Reggaetón. Además de ser originales, poseen un elemento único: líricas geniales y un apetito insaciable en búsqueda por la excelencia. Su pasión por la música los une y su química a la hora de componer y presentarse frente a sus fanáticos es lo que los pone en una categoría aparte dentro del género del Reggaetón. El álbum Wisin vs. Yandel "Los Extraterrestres" es el primer disco de temas inéditos para el dúo desde el éxito de "Pa'l Mundo" en el 2005 donde conquistaron al mundo y con este lanzamiento están listos para conquistar al resto del universo. Su primer sencillo "Sexy Movimiento" es solo uno de 19 temas eléctricos llenos de energía y varias sorpresas, entre ellas las participaciones de Don Omar, Fat Joe, Eve y Franco de Vita. Como prueba de sus éxitos, el "Dúo Dinámico" ha ganado varios premios como Billboard Latino, Premios Juventud y nominados a los Grammy's Latinos. "El Dúo de la Historia" ha vendido sobre tres millones de discos, un álbum por 48 semanas en el "Top 10" de las listas de Billboard Latino. Entre sus más famosos éxitos se encuentran: "Rakata", "Pam Pam", "Yo Te Quiero" y "Noche de Sexo" los cuales el New York Times describe como: "Un triunfo, no sólo para el dúo, sino para el género". A pesar de su ajetreada agenda de viajes, conciertos y presentaciones alrededor del mundo y millones de discos vendidos, el dúo siempre busca la manera de simplemente ser unos jóvenes comunes y corrientes. En Puerto Rico, su lugar de origen, es donde pueden poner "los pies en la tierra" y disfrutar junto a sus respectivas familias. También buscan la manera de aportar a la sociedad participando en las fundaciones como la "Asociación Carlos Arroyo" y el "Hogar para Niños con Sida" entre otros. Este año marca solo el principio en la carrera de Wisin y Yandel. Estos jóvenes puertorriqueños han cautivado al mundo con sus pegajosos ritmos. Y su meta como artistas es poder ofrecerle a su público su estilo único de Reggaetón entregándose con cada canción y guiados por la perfección.

It's everything you expected from Wisin y Yandel and more. They pick up were they left off with Pal Mundo but brought it to the next level, stepping up their game. This is one of those cd's you need not skip over any tracks. If you're looking for the best in reggaeton look no further!

Can another album do them any more justice as one of the most solid Latin Urban dous? YES....this album goes above and beyond unlike any other Latin Urban/Reggaeton Album. When going into a Wisin & Yandel album, which includes Pal Mundo, Quien Contra Mi, and Sobreviviente your going into an energy fest made for parties. Their style of rap is different because their productions are geared to pumping parties up, unlike Tego or Voltio who are Crafty Dissers, Philosphical, more about life, and past experiences. At the end of this album your going to wish their was more because their lyrics, the production of the tracks...All of it is beyond their previous productions. Considering this album was never hyped up and blown apart Like "Pal Mundo", this album deservedly needs to be blown up on radios everywhere.

The production I have to give some big Kudos to. Wisin & Yandel found the right production values they needed for their lyrics. Most of us Reggaeton heads know a good party needs, good beats. Can you Find it Here? MOST DEFINATELY....The beats need to be hypnotic, to put you in a trance to dance with your partner, and the lyrics flowing with it. I had a hard time truely trying to point out which songs have the hottest production value bcuz' the whole album is just too good. If i had to pick it they would be Tracks 1-5, 7, 9, 12-15, 18. I kno it seems like the whole album but those tracks truely are top notch, and you really have to sit and feel these tracks(or Dance). Truely Hypnotic beats on here. As far as the other tracks I didnt mention....Dont get it twisted in no way am i saying they are not good. Like I said, This album is incredible.

Lyrically, you have to admit these guys are real crafty and ingenious. In a previous review i mentioned, for you to appreciate reggaeton you must listen to the Lyrics to understand the message......to get into that intranced mindset. Lyrically, Im going to mention the tracks that stand out:

1.Intro-Here they are making claim of their dominance in Reggaeton, and Wisin truely murders this like no other. Doesnt mention anyone in specific but just a general stance.

2.Ahora Es-Sure fire party jumpa', Wisin explains a shorty that they met in club in da past. Yandel with a great chorus "Anoche, Anoche sonye contigo, Sonyaba que te besaba y que te acorralabas etc......."(excuse the miss spellings in spanish dont know how to do the accent marks)

3.Pidienco Calor-Oh man Wisin and Yandel start this lyrically with such energy and end it the same way

4.Control-The one who stands out the most is the guest star, "Eve."

5.Una Noche Mas-More of a slower paced reggae, with a Love theme around it. None other then Wisin & Yandel can truely sound crazy on this, STILL.

6.Las Cosas Cambiaron-A track featuring Don Omar. Us reggaeton heads know that Wisin & Yandel + Don Omar=Hot track

7.Sexy Movimiento-Of course the hit single is good.

8.Imaginate-Wisin explains a shorty's great features and Tony Dize just adding on to the already hot chorus by Yandel

9. Te Hice Mujer-Just hear this track and you will definately dig this...Trust me

10.Como Tu No Hay Nadie-Their recent new artist Jayko adds his great voice to an incredible track. Here they say No other woman is like the one they have. Wisin starts perfectly "Hay que ser realista, Mi modelo de revista, Todo un artista, siempre anda lista etc....."

11. Vicio De Ti-"Yo tengo vicio de ti, despierta hace mel deseos, yo tengo vicio de ti, de tu ojos de tu boco de tu cuerpo" You got to here this track

12.Tu Cuerpo Me Llama-This beat is infectious and Yandel's chorus is incredible. Another Fire track to get unda your skin. I thought Wisin was a bit weak on a track like this, but Jadiel "El Leon" truely shines.

13.Porque Me tratas Asi-Very good beat. Here Wisin & Yandel talk about a females that treat them like they were nothing, "Y dia dia luchando para que todo mejore, Si a Fallado algun dia te pido que me perdones etc..."

Ladies and gentleman i highly recommend this album to the Latin Urban/reggaeton heads. A truely good album to Listen to, pump in a car, or pump in a party. Once again I truely hate this 5 star rating system, and on here I give it 5 stars. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 9.4. Why you ask, because so many incredible artist are out their they could have collaborated with to make this album an incredible experience. Jayko and Tony Dize are in their record label and im so used to them showing up. Only three people were featured, Eve, Don Omar, and Franco De Vita....and it added some good effect to the tracks they were in. Some other artists could have brought this album to platinum, double or triple platinum status.

YES i think its that good...lol. Im pretty sure other tracks would appeal to different ears but there is most definately alot of tracks to catch people. Happy Listening my fellow reggaetoneros
