When it comes to Latin music this century, all roads lead to Daddy Yankee. The Puerto Rican artist, entrepreneur and visionary pioneered reggaeton, helping shape generations and globalize Latin music. His landmark album Barrio Fino introduced “Gasolina,” the first reggaeton song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40. In 2017, he helped take Latin music worldwide with Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito.” With 30 million records sold, 64 ASCAP Awards, five Latin GRAMMY® Awards and nearly 40 billion streams, DY made history in 2026 as the first reggaeton artist named Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year. Now, after three decades, he continues to innovate with LA POSTAL, his thirteenth album, celebrating love.
