Wisin & Yandel have not had an easy route to convince his detractors. First, because they were considered the flag of a musical movement, Reggaeton, who was accused of lacking depth and simple. Second, because there were those who indicated they were part of a fad.
However, the Puerto Rican duo showed that both ideas were wrong. It has been concerned to provide it with form and substance to their issues, and has championed causes including the fight against poverty, discrimination, and above all, support for abused immigrants in the United States.
About being a fad are laughable. Both Wisin and Yandel repeated over and over again that reggaeton is not a fad that is in decline, but a well established genre here to stay, and the best example put him with his latest album, Cowboys: The return, with plan that literally show the world that its history is just beginning.
The new album features the collaboration of several artists, including musicians T-Pain, 50 Cent, Franco "El Gorilla", Tego Calderon,
Jowell & Randy, Tito "El Bambino", Alexis & Fido, Jayko, Gadiel, Cosculluela, De La Ghetto and Sean Kingston.
In addition to confess and admire Maná Marco Antonio Solis, in an interview with this medium and fresh off the plane, the singers express what goals they have and promise an explosive show tonight at the Auditorio Telmex.
- Is success in Mexico's surprised?
- Wisin: Yes, and I would add that we are very grateful. What happened to the mastermind and the revolution was magical, with sales soaring. Hats off to the forces that we received in our career from Mexico.
- Many artists choose to set aside public opinion to focus on more personal things, however, you bet to hear what was said about her music, good and bad, why?
- Yandel: Both heard that I can say is the best album we have produced. There were changes, despite the success we had with the Revolution decided to go with a different flavor. With Cowboys bet for a much more loaded to reggaeton, more at the root of the movement of the hand of many contributors, both Latin and foreign.
- It is said that a cowboy never ride alone, even if this appears, how much talent got together for the album?
- Wisin: I had long wanted to do an album with collaborators, but the truth, sometimes in the middle there is some resistance to the concept. We dare because it is a different concept now. On this album all the guests brought their magic, his art. That makes the Cowboys is a very professional material, and the sales speak for themselves.
- It was long accused the "Reggaeton" to be a musical without proposal, what is the way to combat that idea?
- Wisin: Because we are convinced, together with our producers, which can bring any issues to the urban genre. We endeavor to do our jobs with good taste, always looking not to disrespect people. There are people who assimilate our music, but some do not, and it is for them that we must work even harder. We want our opponents understand that reggaeton is a movement established.
- In that show he had "a say" and reggaeton are passed through the tightening of immigration laws in Arizona.
- Wisin: It was a coincidence, and we wanted to raise his voice. We were on tour in Texas and California when they started the protests by law. We realized that immigrants, many from Mexico, were and are having very hard in the U.S., how can we ignore the plight of people who work 10 or 15 years for a sleep and overnight sees everything collapses?
- Yandel: That was reflected in the video I'm in love, a theme that was very successful in this country, and when we think of it, invariably comes to mind the name of Mexico is a huge affection.
