Puerto Rican Music

Tito Gomez is a well known Puerto Rican salsa musician who began his career at age 15 but didn’t go solo until about 1990 after he’d already made about seven albums.

Puerto Rican rock has greatly been influenced by American rock music with groups such as Alarma and Circo gaining commercial success.

Circo formed in 2001 with 5 members and have since been nominated for Latin Grammy Awards in 2002 and 2005. To date they have produced 4 albums.

Rapper Felix Delgado, better known as Cuban Link received notoriety back in the mid to early 90s after he began his affiliation with group Terror Squad and rapper Big Pun.

Cuban Link was to have a debut album titled 24K which had three hot singles released, but the album never made it to the light of day. Cuban Link has now been doing alot of work with the reggaeton movement and can be heard on alot of mainstream reggaeton hits.

RKM & Ken-Y also, known as Jose Nieves and Kenny Vasquez are two very popular reggaeton artists from Puerto Rico. Their personal music style is very sensual with RKM providing romantic raps while Ken Y provides more of the lyrics to the vocals. Since 2006 they have had alot of hits and over 50 collaborations to their credit. Their current hit, Igual Que Ayer hit number 3 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs Chart in 2007.
