Former preacher turned reggaeton superstar Don Omar unleashes an impressive blend of cockiness and charisma on The Last Don. The Puerto Rican native produced tracks for other artists before jumping into the ring himself, and he showcases a true knowledge for his genre of choice. Despite an overblown, nearly three-minute intro of personal shout-outs and thank-you's, Don Omar gets down to business fairly quickly. The beat-heavy world of reggaeton often gets repetitive, but Don Omar mixes things up with diverse vocal styles and infectious beats. Simmering grooves start, stop, slow down and are turned upside down throughout the disc. Don Omar remains an intriguing presence throughout, tearing through uptempo, tropical-flavored jams ("Dale Don Mas Duro," "Caserios #2," "Provocandome") and slowing things down during contemplative tracks "Aunque Te Fuiste" and "Quien La Vio Llorar." It's a refreshing take on a sometimes-stifling musical style. --Joey Guerra

4.0 out of 5 stars Don Omar The Last Don, August 19, 2003

By 

Isaac (Reading, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Last Don (Audio CD)

The Don Omar CD "The Last Don" is one of the best cd's that I have bought recently. It features Daddy Yankee in one of it's tracks and over all sounds pretty good. The only tracks that I don't like are Guayaquil which is not reggaeton. It is Bayenato, a music style that is much like Plena and just sounds really different than reggaeton. I don't think it was a good choice.
The other track that I don't like on the CD is the remix to track 3 "Intocable" which was done to an american style reggae beat instead of reggaeton. It sounds really weak and I simply don't like the combination. They just don't pump through the speakers enough. Aside from those two tracks, the rest of the album
sounds really good and is definitely one that should be in your collection if you are a reggaeton fan. Best of luck to Don omar and Hector y Tito Los Bambinos who have control of the reggaeton genre right now. Sincerely, a true fan. Isaac~

Other good albums include: Hector Y Tito " A la reconquista"
Hector y Tito "La Historia Live"
and Wisin y Yandel '" Mi Vida My Live"
