Daddy Yankee brings Latin flavour to UK

DYImageLatin superstar Daddy Yankee – responsible for the worldwide smash hit ‘Gasonlina’ – will perform his exclusive first ever UK show at the O2 Brixton Academy on October 7th 2010.

With four chart-topping albums to his name and more than eight million albums sold, the top-selling Latin artist of the decade has pioneered the Reggaeton sound, bringing the Latin flavour to new audiences across the globe.

Following the worldwide success of the track ‘Gasolina’, Daddy Yankee caught the attention of many international stars and soon began working with super producers will.i.am, Scott Storch and also collaborating with the likes of Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, Nicole Scherzinger and Akon.

In just a matter of years, the Latin Grammy Award winner has now established himself as a leading figure of urban music, single-handedly thrusting Latin urban music into the world arena.

DAM that’s a good mix!

damDownloadAMixtape.com (DAM) offers a platform for UK artists/DJ/labels to promote themselves and their music, whilst keeping in full control of the content.

Mixtapes are usually used by artists or DJs as a free promotional tool to promote upcoming full length albums, shows, concerts and anything else that they have in the works. In a highly competitive market where artists profiles can drop dramatically without consistent product releases, mixtapes can provide a way to keep a buzz going while in between projects.

DAM is just that place where artists can upload mixtapes and music, and their content can be downloaded by their fans for free, creating a community amongst fans and artists in which discussion is facilitated and encouraged. Weekly charts will let the industry and the fans know exactly who has the biggest buzz and who’s creating the best music in the UK.

The UK has a great deal of musical talent just waiting to be promoted, so next time you’re looking for a mixtape remember to DAM IT!
