With eight sold out concerts in their homeland Puerto Rico, Wisin & Yandel have finally announced their first 15-city 2019 tour in the US since their five-year hiatus. The Latin music’s most iconic reggaeton duo tour titled Como Antes 2019 kicks off May 23 in Phoenix, Arizona and closes out in Orlando, Florida Sunday, June 23. 

Wisin & Yandel recently announced their first album in over five years, Los Campeones del Pueblo "The Big Leagues". It marks their 10th studio album and the first one they have recorded together since the multi-award-winning album, Líderes. The new album to be released on December 14 is currently available as pre-order on digital platforms here.

The duo just wrapped up eight sold-out shows at the renowned Coliseo de Puerto Rico, setting a new record for the most consecutive shows held at the venue, as well as the most shows performed by any act - a total of 25. Yandel who is managed by Andy Martinez and Wisin by Walter Kolm are artists that have garnered numerous hits in their solo careers. Yet as a Latin music duo, they have achieved unparalleled success by becoming the top-selling Latin urban artists in the world with their music and concerts.

During their 14 year career as a duo, Wisin & Yandel have received numerous multi-platinum certifications in the United States and Latin America and dozens of awards. On tour, they have proven to be a force to be reckoned with by becoming the only artists in the urban Latin music genre to sell out both the Staples Center and Madison Square Garden. Along with their 10-piece band, eight dancers and state-of-the art audio visual production, their shows are nothing short of exhilarating. Wisin & Yandel are a unique brand of Latin urban music, a fusion of genres and styles delivered with a power and passion that is unrivaled in their musical genre.

Wisin & Yandel Como Antes 2019 tour schedule:

Wisin & Yandel to reunite again

Although Wisin & Yandel parted in 2013 as soloists, they still have a bond that keeps them close. Music, their forte, still unites the two urban artists. 

They never ceased to be seen together not only in appearances but also recorded a new single titled “Todo Comienza en la Disco” with Daddy Yankee. And it holds true what they stated in 2013 that they were “recording separately.”

Now the reggaeton artists will kick off their first concert together since 2013 in Dominican Republic on March 31 followed by a tour. The tour dates have yet to be announced. But that's not all, Wisin and Yandel are going to record new music together. Oh, and they will be performing together during “Premio Lo Nuestro” Thursday, February 22.

So what do you think of Wisin & Yandel together again?

Stay tuned for tour dates.

Gran éxito el concierto benéfico - Yandel & Friends Puerto Rico: Somos Uno

Son tantas las emociones que han corrido dentro de nosotros desde la devastación del Huracán María que quería acabar con Puerto Rico. Todos y digo todos incluyendo los que no son puertorriqueños han sentido el dolor de nuestros hermanos de la Isla del Encanto.

El jueves 19 de octubre fui testigo de un magno evento – Yandel & Friends, Puerto Rico: Somos Uno – que unió a fans que viajaron de cerca y de lejos a Orlando, Florida para presenciar el esfuerzo del cantante urbano puertorriqueño Yandel en unir amigos que incluyeron artistas, personalidades de las redes sociales, y DJs en tan corto tiempo. Entre ellos estaban Christian Daniel, Alexis & Fido, Farruko, Wisin, Zion & Lennox, Chyno Miranda, GadieL, Jencarlos Canela, Jerry Rivera, Jory Boy, Jowell & Randy, LeJuan James, Molusco, Noriel, Pedro Capo, Spiff Tv, DJ Candy Boy, DJ Chino, DJ Nelson & Alberto Stylee quienes compartieron su música, mensajes alentadores, y apoyo incondicional.

El concierto benéfico duro casi cuatro horas, imagínense yo no soy muy fan a la música urbana pero me entregue a absórbala y gozarla todo entre uno que otras de lágrimas que se me escaparon. Algunos cantaron de una a tres canciones o un popurrí de sus canciones tal como lo hizo el único salsero de la noche Jerry Rivera. Pero fue Yandel, quien obvio, se robó el espectáculo cantando la mayoría de las canciones a solo y a dúo ya que ha grabado un sinfín de canciones con otros artistas.

           

El momento más emocionante fue el video que presentaron antes de Yandel subir a la tarima. El video con imágenes de Puerto Rico antes y después del paso del Huracán María con unas palabras que llegaron directo al corazón.

“Crecer en Puerto Rico fue un regalo, lo siento así, como un privilegio, como una bendición que Dios me concedió. Estar lejos de ti duele, como puertorriqueño a veces la impotencia me abraza. Son tantas las noticias, son tantas las llamadas que he recibido acerca de los daños, del sufrimiento de mi gente. Parece que estamos caídos. Pero no es así. Somos fuertes. Todo esto no fue ni será suficiente para destruirnos. No me cabe duda de que nos levantaremos más fuertes que nunca”.

Me dio tanto sentimiento que no pude contener el llanto a ver las imágenes y en oír las palabras de Yandel. Pensé en mis seres queridos que están aún en Puerto Rico especialmente en Liz Roberts y sus hijas quienes viven en Salinas y también son fans de Yandel.

Y como no cerrar con broche de oro al Yandel reunirse con su compatriota Wisin, quien durante muchos años compartieron escenarios, para un hermoso cierre a Puerto Rico: Somos Uno. Culminaron su presentación con la bandera puertorriqueña en mana mientras correaban “Yo soy Boricua pa´ que tú lo sepas”.

El orgullo por Puerto Rico y de sus ciudadanos puertorriqueños americanos es inevitable. ¡No estamos divididos, estamos unidos, Puerto Rico por seguro está de pie!

Todo recaudado de Puerto Rico: Somos Uno será donado a Somos Una Voz  que ya está colaborando con varias organizaciones que están brindando ayuda a las áreas afectadas. Para aportar a esta noble causa, vayan a Somos Una Voz aquí.

¡Que viva Puerto Rico, la Isla del Encanto!

No devastation will bring Puerto Rico down! Puerto Rico is rising, Puerto Ricans are united, strong, resilient… 

There is so much that describes the little island and its fellow citizens with a huge heart after the fierce devastations it has encountered. A vast number of artists have been coming together in benefit relief concerts. This time it was urban artist Yandel who united fellow friends inclusive of singers, DJs, and social media gurus for his benefit relief concert -Yandel & Friends Puerto Rico: We Are One in Central Florida.

Fans of all nationalities traveled as far as Miami, Tampa, Melbourne and surrounding areas to Orlando, Florida to support the efforts of Yandel in an evening overruled by urban and trap music, with a salsa singer, and a pop artist or two. They were Christian Daniel, Alexis & Fido, Farruko, Wisin, Zion & Lennox, Chyno Miranda, GadieL, Jencarlos Canela, Jerry Rivera, Jory Boy, Jowell & Randy, LeJuan James, Molusco, Noriel, Pedro Capo, Spiff Tv, DJ Candy Boy, DJ Chino, DJ Nelson & Alberto Stylee who entertained a full house at the Amway Center for close to four hours.

Every performance was special, messages were uplifting, and videos of before and after the aftermath and relief efforts by fellow citizens from the mainland were heart-wrenching. One that hit home was Yandel’s intro video. I myself tried to maintain my composure but thinking of family and dear friends in Puerto Rico especially one - Liz Robert who lives in Salinas, PR with her three daughters and are also Yandel fans - I just couldn’t hold back my tears. (See first video)

Not only did Yandel unite his friends but he also reunited with his compatriot Wisin who for many years shared stages together for a beautiful closure to Puerto Rico: We Are One. And what a better ending, the flags of Puerto Rico being waved throughout the Amway Center but when Yandel and Wisin held one together on stage, no ending could have been better. The pride for Puerto Rico and its Puerto Rican American citizens is inevitable. We are not divided, we are united.

Yandel joined renowned salsa artist Marc Anthony and others in We Are One Voice (Somos Una Voz), a platform that unites the efforts of artists to raise awareness and help the victims of the most recent natural disasters. Proceeds from Puerto Rico: We Are One will be donated to this charitable alliance which is collaborating with various organizations that are already bringing help to the affected areas.

Didn’t make it to this emotional and historical relief concert, then no worries you can still make a donation to One Voice here. 

Were you there or at any of the benefit relief events please comment below - what was the best part, how did you feel, words of encouragement for Puerto Rico...

Que viva Puerto Rico, the enchanted island!
