Dude! Thats for keeps.. lol.

Cuban Reggaeton female artist,
Mey Vidal www.meyvidal.com

Reggaeton Artist, Mey Vidal, made her appearance this past March in Miami’s biggest annual festival of the year, Calle Ocho! The crowd was as supportive and wild as they always are with their favorite reggaeton artists. Mey Vidal is of Cuban – Spaniard descend. This young singer – composer, began her career at the age of 5, in her native Palma Soriano, Santiago de Cuba. Her music is a mixture of reggaeton in English and Spanish. Her lyrics include positive messages for the youth, and all who listen. Her style is unique and will get any generation up on their feet. She has collaborated with many artists across the globe, including Dominican Minus P, Qbanito, The Rican DJ Rick, and The Polish DKL Crew: Peny and ZNA. She is the first Cuban female in the Reggaeton genre, and for that reason she is often referred to as “Esa Cubana”. Mey Vidal’s CD will be released this July of 2005. Don’t miss out! This gal is definitely representing for the ladies worldwide! www.meyvidal.com

arux, lol i figured you were cuban but i was asking where you live now:P lol miami nice! is latin music big there? cuz here its just starting to get popular, but still very few people know it.....the only song that plays is gasolina

linuxwins thanks for that list erything I need to know,(how long did it take you to come up with it??:P) cuz as i said its not really big here, but i really like it, so its hard to find out about artists and songs

it took about 10 minutes because all those names you see up there are on my IPod.i have about 2600 reggaeton songs ranging from 1991(reggaeton has been around since 1984) to 2006

i was listening to an underground reggaeton song and was wondering what might "te la voy a meter de mira quien viene" mean?

In here it's all about latin music. I would say it is as popular as in many countries in Latin America. Reggaeton is everywhere from nightclubs, radio, TV, commercials, and 1 out of 10 cars on the street has it at full volume. It has also revolutionized fashion and culture in general. There are many local artists and some of the famous ones live here...
