Legendary vocalist Residente from the group Calle 13 performs an extremely personal song that both shares his emotional challenges and recalls fond memories.

Polbo used to play sixties cover songs in bars “de mala muerte” in Yabucoa by night, while studying physics at university by day. They began to write their own songs, which the crowds started to demand more than the covers. Keep an ear out for them!

"Calma" is a song performed by Puerto Rican Artist, Pedro Capó, who also co-wrote it alongside George Noriega and Gabriel Edgar González Pérez. This remixed version with Farruko was released on October 5, 2018.

Deep in the heart of Old San Juan you can hear live salsa music playing most any night at the Nuyorican Cafe. We stepped into the alley for a breather and had a little chat with two lovely salseras to get an insider view of what brings them back to the dance floor night after night.

Michael Stuart, born in New York to Puerto Rican parents, received his musical education from his uncle Israel Timbalero Stuart, who helped him secure background vocal gigs for Johnny Rivera and Marc Antony. Since 1996, Stuart has released nine records, his latest a salsa album entitled Sentimiento de un Rumbero released on Machete Records in 2007.

This boy band may be underage, menores, but they are pretty sure they are ready to fall in love, a feeling that their screaming fan base is willing to reciprocate.

Enjoy Mark Anthony’s cover of legendary Spanish singer and songwriter Jose Luis Perales’s song “¿Y cómo es él?” (“And What’s He Like?”). In this song, Marc Anthony leaves behind his signature Salsa sound and becomes a more inquisitive broken heart.

"Vivir mi vida" [Living My Life] came out in 2013 as the first single from the album 3.0 by world-renowned salsa artist Marc Anthony, which won the Latin Grammy for Best Salsa Album in 2014.

Performed by artists Luis Fonsi and Carlos Vives, this song is a tribute to love and the joy of sharing one's life with a significant other. Let's watch the official video for this beautiful tune, which was recorded in Bogotá and directed by Salomón Simhon.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee sing their super contagious single, "Despacito" [Slowly]. The song enjoyed tremendous commercial success, managing to hit number one in more than 40 countries as well as being the song with the most YouTube hits.

Puerto Rican by birth, Luis Fonsi moved at an early age to Orlando, Florida. Despite having participated in a number of minor “boy bands,” it wasn’t until he was discovered by the president of the music school at the University of Florida, where he was a student, that he was offered a sizable recording contract. Success came quickly as his reputation spread throughout Latin America.

Grammy-nominated La Secta Allstar boasts Puerto Rican roots despite having come together in Orlando, where the members attended college, and shortly after that settling in Miami. This title track from their album, Consejo, may very well make their mothers and mothers around the Spanish speaking world proud.

Of course tuve is the preterite yo form tener, so one might be misled to think that the refrain of this tune is “I had, I had.” However, in casual speech on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, tú ve’ is short for tú ves (“you see”), but the uninitiated could easily mistake it for the verb tuve (“I had”). ¿Tú ve’?

This Puerto Rican band wasn’t on the island from the get-go. Two of La Secta’s members, Mark and Gustavo, met in Orlando during school and then moved to Miami Beach. There, they met up with John and Carlos and started writing songs. The message of their album Fuego, which shines through in “Déjalos que hablen,” is, according to John, “to be positive in the face of a moment of so many changes in the world.”
