Pedro Fernández & Daddy Yankee Music & 'La Voz Kids' News: Duo Considering a Collaboration?
Mexican Latin Grammy Award winner Pedro Fernández and Puerto Rican reggaeton star Daddy Yankee have been working together on Telemundo's talent show "La Voz Kids," and there is a good chance the two might soon also embark on a musical collaboration, El Universal reported.
Fernández told Mexico's largest newspaper that he and Yankee had already breached the topic.
"We have talked about it, and we just might do something (together)," the 45-year-old ranchero singer said. "We would have to look for a song that would allow the two of us to do what we like and that in some way would give the audience what they know from Yankee and what they know from Pedro," Fernández added.
Yankee, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, is no stranger to collaborations. The 38-year-old's 2013 mix tape "Imperio Nazza: King Daddy Edition" alone includes no fewer than five singles in which the reggaeton star is accompanied by fellow musicians Divino, Yandel, Farruko, Arcángel and J. Alvarez respectively.
But Fernández fans need not be afraid that the singer is moving away from his traditional style - not toward balada and certainly not toward reggaeton, the "Hasta el fin del mundo" star told El Universal.
"We try -- as always -- for [each] album to include shreds of something different from what we have already done because it cannot be the same as the previous; but my genre is the same," he said about the telenovela's opening theme, which he performs. "We have done a very balada-style song, but it, too, is mariachi in its essence."
Fernández said his marriage with Rebeca Garza Vargas, a former model from Reynosa, Mexico, has helped him sustain his successful artistic career, and that he and his wife feel a great "complicity" as they confront their often hectic schedule.
"You have to look for the best way to find the space to be at peace and so that your life as a person can go on well and you feel good," he noted.
Fernández and Vargas are happily expecting their first grandchild.
"It's a great joy, and we are very grateful to God and to life, which has given me wonderful things," he said.
