Synopsis

Album Description
ENGLISH

I have been blessed by having the opportunity to travel to most countries in the world. Because of this I have learned about the different cultures and lifestyles of each country. Included in this style of Life is "Music" which made me curious to learn much more about it and was the starting point for the concept of the Mundial. My biggest challenge and first question was 'how can I make a Mundial CD with an Urban flavor, one that includes the influence from all the countries that have given me their vibe, an album that does not sound like a good intention gone awry.

That's when I decided to begin with the basics of my musical roots:the Caribbean - reggaeton, meringue, ripao, bachata, soca and dancehall. The Caribbean is full of energy!!

The musical vibe in South America, Central America and Mexico is incredible - from vallenato, cumbia, batucada to countless flavors that fed my musical inspiration so I could make a fusion with my urban package on this album.

Then I added what I have learned from the US - Hip Hop - which gave me the freedom to express what I want.

From Europe I learned about electronic music with its maximum expression- the very special energy it transmits in a club as well as in a stadium with thousands of people. Digital music with its infinite library of plugins. I always wanted to make a fusion with Latin music, mixing both with instruments in a Live setting. We used vocal special effects in some of the songs thanks to this inspiration of the electronic revolution. All these influences have a big presence in my album.

In summary, Daddy Yankee Mundial is an album with a great musical variety where The Street joins The World.



SPANISH

Comienzo diciendo que he sido bendecido al tener la oportunidad de viajar a la gran mayoría de todos los países del mundo entero. A través de dicha bendición he aprendido de las culturas, costumbres y estilos de vida de cada país. Dentro de ese estilo de vida se encuentra la "Música" la cual me lleva a la inquietud de aprender mucho mas de ella, desde ese punto de partida nace la idea de hacer un disco de concepto Mundial. Pero mi gran reto y a la vez mi gran pregunta era, ¿Cómo puedo hacer un disco Mundial con Sabor Urbano el cual utilicé todas las influencias de la mayoría de los países que me han regalado su vibra? Sin que se escuche como si fuera una buena intención mal ejecutada. Entonces decidí empezar por lo básico, mi raíz musical "El Caribe", empecé incorporando música de reggaetón, merengue, perico ripiao, bachata, soca y dance hall. ¡El Caribe está lleno de energía!!!

La vibra musical dentro de Suramérica, Centroamérica y México es increíble desde el Vallenato, la Cumbia, la Batucada, en fin, un sinnúmero de sabores que alimentaron mi inspiración musical para ponerlas en fusión con mi bagaje urbano en este disco.

He aprendido musicalmente de Estados Unidos, el Hip Hop " el cual me da la libertad de expresarme como quiera. De Europa he aprendido lo que es la música electrónica, toda su máxima expresión. La energía tan especial que transmite dentro de un club al igual que en un estadio lleno de miles de personas. La música digital, su infinita librería de 'plugins'. Siempre me inquietó fusionarlas con la música latina mezclándolas con instrumentos en vivo. En algunas canciones utilizamos efectos en la voz, gracias a la inspiración de esta revolución electrónica "Toda esta influencia está bien presente en todo mi álbum".

"En resumen Daddy Yankee Mundial es un disco de mucha variedad musical donde UNIFICA La Calle con El Mundo"

COLAPSA ES CAERSE y este disco no se cae..... DEBERIA DECIR FUSIONA O EMERGE O REUNE O UNIFICA....

Great Yankee Album - But Missing Some Songs
Compay | New Orleans, LA | 04/27/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Mundial isn't Daddy Yankee's best album, but it's one you'll want to add to your collection. The point of Mundial was for Yankee use different world styles into the production. "La Despedida" uses a merengue beat, "Que Es La Que Hay" is a dancehall-flavored track, and "Grito Mundial" uses Brazilian Samba sounds.



Overall, there are some good radio-friendly songs on the album, though I prefer it when Yankee goes hard Sin Jocky style over tracks like "El Más Duro." El Cangriman noticeably uses more auto-tune on this album, including the only song with a guest feature (Tito el Bambino).



My only complaint about this album is that it doesn't include "Intenso", a hot dembow track that Yankee released in early 2010. Also, "El Ritmo No Perdona" AKA "Prende" is only available on the iTunes version of this album, so you won't find it on the CD available in stores or on Amazon. Mundial isn't as hot as "El Cartel: The Big Boss", but it's still a good album to own. The only thing left for you to decide is if you want the version with Intenso and Prende on it."
