About Da Hit Man Presents Reggaeton Latino
Product Description Don Omar is one of the most loved and recognized Reggaeton singers in Puerto Rico whose his popularity is quickly spreading throughout the current musical landscape along with the increasing popularity of the genre. CD features guest appearances by Fat Joe, Mr. Vegas, Fabolous, Jennifer Lopez, Tego Calderon and more. Universal. 2005. Amazon.com An arsenal of high-wattage guests and fresh beats spice up Da Hitman Presents Reggaeton Latino, an energetic remix collection that plays like a sizzling genre primer. Former preacher-turned-reggaeton ambassador Don Omar has assembled single remixes, collaborations, and a few new tracks for a collection that pumps and sways with effortless ease. There's nothing here that hasn't been featured on other albums, but the sum of so many hip-swiveling parts is pretty great indeed. Fat Joe and N.O.R.E. lend some grit to the title track; hip-hop star Fabolous brings a confident flow to "Dale Don Dale"; and reggaeton master Tego Calderon colors "Bandoleros" with his breezy, streetwise vibe. "Ella y Yo," a previously released pairing with Bachata group Aventura, still simmers, as does "Hold You Down," a silk-and-sandpaper duet with Jennifer Lopez that vastly improves on the wispy original. (Sorry, Fat Joe.) Standout track "Dile" gives Don Omar a chance to showcase his distinct vocal flow, but it's the album closer "Guayaquil"--a fiery, tropical cumbia--that proves this Hitman still has a few tricks up his sleeve. --Joey Guerra
