Thank You

I would like to say thank you to everyone that has taken the time out of their day to read my blog posts. It was very much appreciated that you read the blog from week to week and shared your thoughts with me about WY Records. As we both know, Wisin and Yandel are two very talented artists that have literally built their image up from nothing. They used their strength and determination to then motivate other artists and sing them on their record label to help them begin their careers. Blogging about the duo has been a great time, and I loved sharing my thoughts, feelings, and the most recent information about Wisin and Yandel with you. It is great to find other people that have the same interest as you, and through my blog and website, I was able to meet so many cool people that wanted to talk about Wisin and Yandel and WY Records. Over the last four months, the duo and other artists under their record label have accomplished many amazing things, and they have made it very easy to blog about. So thank you again for blogging with me and sharing your experiences and knowledge about Wisin and Yandel with me. I will continue to blog, even after my class ends, so please stay posted and keep sharing your thoughts with me!

El Momento Released

The wait is over!! El Momento has finally been released and it is taking over the charts. After a long wait for the album to be released, Jowell and Randy finally made the announcement that the album is officially released and ready for sale. The WY Records family is very proud of the duo and excited to see where the release of this album will take Jowell y Randy. Gadiel mentioned to Wisin and Yandel's official blog that this is the biggest moment for WY Records this year. Jowell and Randy are very excited to see how well the album has done thus far, and eager to see what the next week will bring. Sales have skyrocketed over the last few hours, already making El Momento on of the top selling albums of the month. Having only been on sale for the last twelve hours and seeing the turnout from the fans, the WY Records family is very excited to see what the 2010 tour will bring for the duo. Jowell and Randy are scheduled to tour during the summer of this year on the El Momento tour, but they are only scheduled to thirty shows total. The schedule may have to change if demands continue to stay this high. Tickets have yet to go on sale, but there are posts all over the internet demanding tickets to the scheduled show. Without a doubt, Jowell and Randy should thank Wisin and Yandel for taking them under thier wings and making them one of the hottest duos on the reggaeton scene.

Wisin y Yandel Join Forces

Wisin and Yandel join forces with De La Ghetto,Cosculluela, Franco el Gorila, and Tego Caldron to bring the fans an music video that will introduce their soon to be released album "Los Vaqueros 2." Wisin and Yandel originally came out with "Los Vaqueros" back in the day, and the album has been one of there most successful yet. This was the album that really put Wisin and Yandel ahead of other artists on the reggaeton scene. Because this album did so well, there is a lot of pressure on the duo to make the second album as good as the first. All doubts aside, the duo will bring the heat, once again, especially because they have now created a "family" that is unstoppable. The WY Records family is a huge part of the making of this album, and are very excited to be in the video that will introduce the new album. The video was directed by Jesse Terrero and will be released on April 30. Terrero seems to be the only man that directs music videos for the duo, making him to best man to put on the job. The artists mentioned above are the only ones included in the video, but the others will be featured on the album. We are hoping to see some new remixes of the duo's most popular songs, and new songs that features the other members of the WY Records family. The entire video will be released some time in May, followed by the highly anticipated new album.

Mision 4123

Wisin and Yandel have now released a video to one of their newest singles, entitled Mision 4123. The duo is doing the video a little different this time. It will not be like their typical music video where you find beautiful women dancing around the men or feel nothing but sex appeal. This video has a completely differnt feel and goes with a more mysterious setting, than enjoyable. In the beginning of the video, the duo is in a room, moving in very fast motion, as if they were on a very important mission to get somewhere. The duo looks very different in the video considering they are not in their typical flashy clothes and are not directly singing to the camera. The video is seen through the lens of a video camera, which gives it this different look than the rest of the videos. The video also includes other members of the WY Records family, such as Gadiel, Jayko, Franco el Gorila, and Jowell y Randy. About one minute into the video, Wisin explains what the mission is that him and Yandel will be embarking on. I won't spoil it for you, but if you can not speak Spanish then there are a few versions of the video that are translated into English. Check out the duo's homepage on their website if you are interested in seeing the video. Lately, Wisin and Yandel have been doing a lot of different things that amaze us, but I would definitely say that this mission takes the cake!

Los Del Mometo

Well we knew that Jowell and Randy were taking over the reggaeton scene as the hottest new duo to join WY Records, but I don't think we were prepared to see how much success the duo actually was going to have. Now being called "Los Del Momento," Jowell and Randy are receiving much honor from other artists as the people to compete with. With the release of their newest single "Loco," Jowell and Randy have skyrocketed to the number one spot and have refused to let other artists, such as Daddy Yankee or Don Omar, take that from them. The duo recently received an award for hottest new duo on Los Premios Juventudes, and they were very ecstatic. Jowell mentioned to the fans that this is the time to show the world that they are different, and that they are unstoppable when it comes to working with Wisin and Yandel and the other artists under WY Records. The duo gave thanks to each member of the WY Records family, but gave special gratitude towards Wisin and Yandel. Randy mentioned that they are fully aware that they would not be where they are right now without Wisin and Yandel, and they are very thankful for that. The release of the album "El Momento" is on its way, and we can only expect that the fame will grow much larger for the duo. Expected to be released on April 23, "El Momento" already has fans calling Jowell and Randy the reggaetoneros to beat!

Arrival in Panama

Wisin and Yandel faced a huge surprise when they landed in Panama, where they offered a concert this weekend. The duo, known as "Los Extraterrestres" arrived in a private plan in the international airport of Tocumen. The duo thought this was going to be a quick trip, but they were in for a shock. The duo was approached with many questions regarding the current lawsuit that they are handling and were even confronted by Ramiro Esquivel, the man with the rights to the words. After a few moments of confusion, the duo was notified that the press had heard recent news that they duo would be arriving here and many were interested to see the reactions on Wisin and Yandel's faces when approached with these questions. Apart from the piece of the song that was used in the chorus of the song by Wisin and Yandel, there were other allegations being made. Don Omar is also facing the same exact lawsuit for taking part in this song and not having the rights to do so. Don Omar feels that everyone is acting slightly out of line, and hopes that all of the artists can move along and continue their careers. Wisin and Yandel confirmed the notification that they would complete the concert in Panama, despite all of the confusion and press, but the duo was not happy about what had occurred below their noses. The duo did complete the concert, and despite a few issues, the hottest duo of reggaeton had a great time in Panama.

Billboards List

Even though Wisin and Yandel may be experiencing a little bit of a rough patch with everything that is going on with the lawsuit, the duo has never been so happy. The chart topping list for the Billboards came out for this week, and Wisin and Yandel are placed on the list three times before we even hit spot number twenty. The duo has had one of their most successful years yet, and they do not expect anything less out of themselves for next year. Wisin and Yandel were ranked number sixteen on the list for their hit single, "Te Siento," which has been making the list for the last six weeks. This song was huge for the duo, considering it was the first single off of their new album, La Evolucion, and it is was kept Wisin and Yandel's name on the map after the release of the record breaking album, La Revolucion. The duo is also ranked number thirteen on the Billboard list for this album and has been on this list for over forty five weeks. This is an incredible achievement, and the duo is very proud to have even made the list. The album has not dropped below the number thirteen spot within the forty five weeks, and they hope they can stay above the thirteen spot for the equivilance of a year. As if that is not enough, Wisin and Yandel are also ranked in the number thirteen spot for the single "Lo Mejor" that was recently released by WY Records. The song came out about two weeks ago and has been on the Billboard Top One Hundred ever since.

Lawsuit

Wisin y Yandel are experiencing a little bump in the road as they continue on their tour through South America. The duo is facing a law suit, along side of many other reggaeton artists, as well. Nando Boom, who is owner of a reggaeton record, filed the lawsuit against the duo in April of 2008. The records label owner claimed that Wisin, Yandel, and Don Omar, used part of his song, "Enfermo de Amor" in their track "MySpace" with out authorization. Don Omar is part of the lawsuit because he is featured in this track and also did not get authorization to take part in the song. Court recently began in session, and the situation is trying to be handled in a very mature manner. Since everyone on the case are very busy people, the case has been moving slowly but will eventually be resolved. Wisin y Yandel claim that they did not use part of the singer's with out authorization, but Nando Boom feels a little bit different. The case argues that the melody is the same and the words are the exact of what is now in Wisin and Yandel's hit, "MySpace." Nando Boom recently has a lawsuit filed against another reggaeton artist, Daddy Yankee, but he decided to drop he case when the two artists came to an agreement. Daddy Yankee and Nando Boom are still friends, but the same can not be said for him and Wisin y Yandel. Stay posted for updates.

Mi Tierra Se Movio

Its been a while since we have heard something new from Jayko, one of the aspiring artists under WY Records, but he is back, and his music is better than ever. Jayko has recently release his new single entitled "Mi Tierra Se Movio," and the fans are loving what they hear. In the song, Jayko uses his unique style and distinct voice to create an upbeat tempo that can keep fans dancing through the entire song. Jayko admitted to being a little nervous about the release of this song because it was very different from any other song he has recorded before. Through the song, Jayko sings about how one women "makes his world move" and sings a love song without the sappy music behind it. If there was a fan that did not understand Spanish, they would never know that this song was about love and heartbreak. I think that is what makes this song so unique. The fact that fans can dance to this song and enjoy themselves, while getting a message that portrays the exact opposite feeling of happiness is something that can be hard for an artist to portray. Wisin and Yandel did help Jayko on the recording of this track, and the duo is very satisfied with the end result. Jayko will preform this song while traveling with Wisin and Yandel on their tour, and only the lucky fans will be able to hear is live for one of the first times! The video for this track is being worked on, so keep your ears open!!

Tour through Argentina

As Wisin and Yandel continue their tour through Argentina, the hype is getting bigger on what is expected to come from the duo. Recent performences have made fans very excited for what they may see in the future shows of this tour. The craziness all began when Wisin and Yandel secretly brought other WY Records family members on tour with them. These artists have been making appearences at almost every show, however, not every crowd will see each artist. The members of the WY Records family are on tour with the duo, but only certain artists are featured in some of the concerts. We are not sure how to find out whether the other artists will perform at specific concerts, but what we do is that the fans that were able to see some of the other artists perform are very lucky. I myself, had the opportunity to see the duo in Chicago and without knowing, Franco el Gorila just walked on stage. Together, Yandel and Franco el Gorila performed what was then their newest single together, entitled Sexo Seguro. The fans went crazy when this happened, and I have to admit I was right there with them, cheering and screaming. The most memorable moment on the tour thus far was when Jowell y Randy appeared at the concernt in Valencia. This was the first time that the duo had performed with Wisin and Yandel on this tour and hopefully it will not be the last. The way the crowd reacted to the four men performing together was incredible. I would definitely like to see that for myself one day.
