HIT-MAKER DON OMAR SELLS OUT GIBSON AMPHITHEATRE IN A SHOW TO REMEMBER!!
Reggaetons King of Kings is the first urban Latino artist
to sell out Los Angeles premier venue
Los Angeles February 6, 2006 Don Omar, the ultimate reggaeton
hit-maker put on a show to remember in front of a sold out audience in
Los Angeles this Saturday, February 4, 2006. The first urban Latino
artist to sell out Gibson Amphitheatre, Don Omar closed out his
California appearances in front of a packed audience of 6,000 people.
Hennessey, Universal Pictures new release Doom, and radio station
Latino 96.3 FM sponsored the show, which was brought to Los Angeles by
Orjuela Entertainment, Machete Music and Total Entertainment Group.
For those who couldnt get tickets, or those who simply want to relive
the moment, the show was also taped by Cingular Wireless and is
available in streamable content to Cingular Wireless customers.
Reggaeton, as a part of urban Latino music, is arguably the most
influential musical movement of the past year. As a cross-cultural
genre, reggaeton is influenced by Jamaican music (reggae), Latin
tropical music (bomba/plena/salsa/merengue/ bachata, etc.) and urban
hip-hop music. In 2004 and 2005, reggaeton drove Latin record sales,
making Latin the only music category to register growth, according to
Nielsen SoundScan and the Recording Industry Association of America.
Urban artists have begun to see their influence on reggaeton and have
responded by welcoming reggaeton into urban music. This is evidenced
by the fact that many multi-platinum hip-hop and R&B artists are
collaborating with reggaeton artists and doing reggaeton remixes of
their own songs.
On the West Coast, reggaeton has taken off. As a reggaeton
groundbreaker known for delivering hit after hit, the performance on
February 4 was Don Omars first solo show in Los Angeles. He performed
his hit songs, Reggaeton Latino, Dale Don Dale, Pobre Diabla, Dile and
more accompanied by a live band and famed DJ Eliel. Surprise guest DJ
Nelson joined the King of Kings on stage. This show is the Don Omar
event that Southern California will never forget. His album, Kings of
Kings will be released on Machete Music in May.
