Colombia's Reggaeton Singer Reykon, 'Orange Is the New Black' Star Dascha Polanco Celebrate the Best in Latin Music [Video]
Colombian reggaeton star Reykon, a.k.a. "El Lider," knows how to lead when it comes to his dance moves and commanding the stage with his latest tracks.
Following in the success of other hot urban Colombian acts, such as the 2014 breakout star J Balvin, Reykon is gaining a lot of traction.
Last week, Reykon showed what he was made of by giving a special performance of his latest singles as Hennessy V.S and Warner Music Latina celebrated Latin music's biggest night, The Billboard Latin Music Awards at Mansion Nightclub on South Beach, Miami. Over 400 guests danced the night away to not only Reykon's tunes, but fresh beats spun by some of the hottest DJs, including DJ Africa and DJ Sucio.
The Warner Music Latina recording artist is most known for his hits "Señorita," "La Santa," "Sin Miedo" and "Tu Cuerpo Me llama." Reykon was joined by other Latino celebrities who rocked the red carpet and later busted a move, including: Argentinian/Peruvian tropical pop duo Periko & Jessi Leon; Dominican-American Dallas Mavericks player Charlie Villanueva; "Orange Is the New Black's" Dascha Polanco and TV personality Julissa Bermudez; Panamanian hip-hop duo Los Rakas; and Mexican-American DJ Mando Fresko.
Reykon, whose real name is Andres Felipe Robledo, released his first track, titled "Imaginandote" ("Imagining You"), which features his pal Daddy Yankee, whom he recorded with in 2007. He has also previously recorded with Yandel, Farruko and J Balvin.
"For me, good music, a good attitude, strong character and excellent team work are the keys to success," he said in an earlier statement. "Only then can you achieve great things. This union with Warner Music Latina was the step that my career needed."
While the U.S. is starting to hear the buzz about "El Lider," Reykon has had major hits in Colombia and has huge social traction, with 5.5 million likes on Facebook, 1.1 million Twitter followers and 589,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. The official video for "Secretos" has notched 37 million views, according to Billboard.
