Elvis Crespo is one of the most important
Spanish language music figures today and has had an extraordinary
career. The Puertorican singer is Merengue's ambassador, his music
and image are almost synonymous with the music genre. Grupo
Manía has been singing the best Merengue for more than 10
years. Figures such as Elvis Crespo have emerged out of this group.
In their long career, the group has dabbled in different rhythms,
always keeping Merengue as the backbone of the musical
explorations. Some of their albums have included rhythms like salsa
and Spanish hip hop. Vico C is a singer-songwriter
from New York of Puerto Rican heritage who has established himself
as a leading rapper. Ivy Queen is the "Queen of
Reggaeton," the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter has toured all over
the world representing women in that music genre. Songs by "La
Diva" are characterized by pushing a message on behalf of women.
Many of them focus on women's unique challenges and their place in
society. For example, one of her hits, Tuya Soy, became an anthem
asking society for the respect that women deserve. Baby
Rasta & Gringo are a Puerto Rican reggaeton duo,
famous for their song "El Carnaval". They were originally called
"Eazy Boyz". Eddy Dee is one of the most
interesting Reggaeton singers today.
The previously announced artists that will make the Big
Apple dancing Salsa are: Pirulo y la Tribu,
Tony Vega, Luis Enriquez,
Hector Tricoche and Nino Segarra.
Merengue will also be present, represented by La Dinastía
Rosario, the reunion of the most important generation of
Dominican Merengue: The Rosario brothers and Toño Rosario. The
peculiar sound of Bachata will delight concert attendees by the
genre's leading singers including Raulin
Rodriguez, El Torito, Bachata
Heightz and Jay Ruiz. And the music genre
preferred by young Latinos that is conquering the world: Urban
Latin music will be represented by Pitbull
"Mr. Worldwide" himself, the pioneer Tego
Calderon, the hottest duo Gente de Zona
and singer Mozart la Para.
"The lineup of 'Megaton Mundial de Polito Vega' brings together
the best of the best in the musical genres that are most
appreciated in the Big Apple and they surely will keep attendees
dancing all night. It is an honor to organize this homage to Polito
Vega, a radio living legend in the city where generations of Latino
families love him," said Lucas Piña, Sr. VP, SBS Entertainment.
Polito Vega is a world renowned radio
icon with a 57 year long uninterrupted career. He is well known as
an entertainer and has hosted countless community events, concerts
and legendary performances. The tireless "King of Radio",
consistently and for decades, remained atop the competition in the
Big Apple with two of the most popular radio stations: Mega 97.9FM
and AMOR 93.1FM. "Megaton Mundia de Polito Vega" emerged as a
recognition to the great Puerto Rican radio personality, based in
New York that day by day, for almost 6 decades has entertained the
Latino community in New York.
"Megatón Mundial de Polito Vega" will take place on October 28
at Madison Square Garden and is sponsored by MajorWorldEspanol.com,
