"POSE" - NEW SINGLE FROM DADDY YANKEE

Talento De Barrio: El Soundtrack Available July 15th

Who:

It's not easy to label Daddy Yankee. Not only is he a pioneer in the world of reggaeton who has gone multi-platinum and captivated millions of people over the world with his fiery stage presence, but he's also a successful businessman, producer and talent scout; all while serving as spokesperson for humanitarian causes. One thing is clear: Yankee's resolve never wavers and he's always willing to stare risk in the face. Now the rapper is set to make his motion picture debut this summer with the film Talento de Barrio (Straight from the Barrio), which he also executive produced. The music accompanying the film, Talento de Barrio: El Soundtrack, will be out July 15th.



What:

Talento de Barrio is an upcoming film directed by José Iván Santiago. Raymond Ayala (Daddy Yankee) stars as Edgar Dinero, an angry young man from the slums of Puerto Rico who gets tangled between the thug life of his neighborhood and the beat of his barrio. On that path Edgar encounters disruption among his crew men, while falling in love with an uptown girl whom "Dinero" must conceal his strong ties with the violent barrio underworld. Edgar may run, but is unable to hide from the scores of corrupt cops and the full blown war for the "Caserio" among his men. Soon enough Edgar must face the question. Would he die as the "Cangri" of the underworld or would he be resurrected as the "Big Boss" of Reggaeton?



Talento de Barrio: El Soundtrack is Daddy Yankee's first studio album since his latest multi-platinum production El Cartel: The Big Boss in 2007. Talento de Barrio: El Soundtrack, from his label El Cartel Records, is presenting "Pose" as the first official single of the new album. The soundtrack it will be on sale July 15, 2008 and will continue to expand the power of the reggaeton industry with the participation of Tempo and Arcángel, and producers Eli "El Musicólogo" and Menace. "Pose" presents a mix of hip hop, disco, Latin, and Afro American rhythm with a touch of European music. "This CD goes by the hand of the film. It is a concept of urban music from the street, but we took the flavor from the street and we evolved it to produce new ideas and themes", said Daddy Yankee.
