 (75 Customer Reviews)
Daddy Yankee was one of the leading figures of the reggaeton movement in the mid-2000s, and this dual-disc compilation package is a testament to the Puerto Rican rapper's talent and popularity. BARRIO FINO EN DIRECTO namechecks Daddy Yankee's immensely popular BARRIO FINO album, and several tracks from that album are featured here in live concert versions. Also included on the CD are four new studio cuts, including "Gangsta Zone," with Snoop Dogg, and "Machete Reloaded," with Paul Wall. The presence of these mainstream hip-hop artists shows just how far reggaeton was able to cross over.
On both the live audio tracks and the live footage included on the DVD, it's clear that Daddy Yankee is a first-rate and much-loved performer (his arena-sized audiences sing along with every word). The high-energy music, which draws on dancehall rhythms, hip-hop attitude, and Latin-flavored samples and accents, is as infectious here as on any of Daddy Yankee's releases. Fans won't want to miss this key overview.
The DVD also includes special features like music videos, photos, and behind-the-scenes documentary footage.
This set features a live DVD filmed December 19 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot in Puerto Rico, including behind-the-scenes b-roll, Puerto Rico Day Parade performance, exclusive interviews, and video. The CD includes all the audio from the DVD performance, plus 5 totally new studio tracks and guest stars Snoop Dogg and Paul Wall. This set carries a parental advisory.Rolling Stone (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] solid stopgap from reggaeton's biggest star. The live cuts are as exciting as they were on BARRIO FINO..."

John David Orvis has come full circle. From his musical beginnings in the jazz swing era recording with his own band, he has sampled a multitude of career alternatives, from ranch worker to actor, from carpenter to writer of children's books, finally rededicating himself to the endeavor that has always been closest to his heart -- making music.With the Winter, 1995 release of a new CD, Washed In The Blood, on his own Say Listen! label, John is bringing to bloom the seeds he has nurtured for years. The gospel and blues tinged selections on Washed In The Blood include both new compositions and John's own arrangements of traditional gospel songs by Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. As eclectic as the collection of tunes on Washed In The Blood may be, they are united by a common theme of faith and hope, and the belief that music has the power to heal. Washed In The Blood is a heartening blend of blues and gospel music that is a unique augmentation to the "Contemporary Christian" genre.John is based in Ojai, a small town north of Los Angeles, where he moved more than twenty five years ago, after stepping back from his thriving musical career in Hollywood in favor of raising his family. John may have left Hollywood, but he always kept the love of music that first entered his life when he was bedridden by paralysis as a young boy, where his first musical inspiration came from the likes of Les Paul, Barney Kessell, Chet Atkins, and Hank Snow. With such influences, it should come as no surprise that John's instrument of choice is the guitar, which he began to play when he was fourteen years old.In the mid-fifties, he discovered the musical inspirations that have come to wield the most significance in his work and his life -- the blues of Muddy Waters, T Bone Walker, Litfie Jr. Parker, and B.B. King, along with the gospel music of Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. In 1955, he appeared and won on the show, "Rocket To Stardom," and that same year, he released a hit single, "East L.A.," which launched him on the path to success. John's first band was a quartet, The Sessionaires; he then played with a variety of other groups, eventually forming a five piece band, Smoke, which was managed by the legendary Gene Autry.Through the early sixties, Smoke recorded two LP's, one of which featured the hit single, "Carry On Your Idea," written by John in 1963. The band pefformed as the opening act for a wide variety of the musical superstars of that era, such as Neil Diamond, Joe Cocker, Eric Burden and the Animals. Even before forming his own bands, John had begun to make a name for himself as a session player and soloist, and he continued to supplement his work in Smoke by pefforming and recording with a variety of artists. His distincitive guitar sound has graced the work of the Norman Brown Sextet with Tommy Thompson, Big J McNealy, The Coasters, Frankie Lane and Canned Heat, and earned him the opening slot for Jimi Hendrix at Devonshire Downs in 1969. John moved to Ojai to escape the fast-paced city life of Los Angeles, and although he spent many years at various other jobs while raising his four children, John David Orvis continued to write and perform his music.
