Miami, FL – Latin music’s supreme duo, CHINO & NACHO, have conquered the #1 position at radio in the United States and Puerto Rico.

It is the Venezuelan duo’s second #1 at radio, joining their mega-hit “Nina Bonita”, a song which held the number one spot for various weeks in the summer of 2010.

“Bebe Bonita” is the second official single from “Supremo”, the idol’s latest album which debuted at the #1 position on the sales charts upon its release last October. The track, a bilingual song which fuses Chino & Nacho’s unique rhythms with vocals from the British star Jay Sean, has not only become one of the most listened to songs at radio and most popular songs at nightclubs throughout the world but also one of the internet’s most streamed videos. Recently it was announced that “Bebe Bonita” was nominated for “Best Music Video” in the first annual “Premios Tu Mundo” awards which will be broadcast on the Telemundo Network on August 30 from Miami , FL. The winner will be chosen via online voting by fans.

These songs include “El Poeta”, a song which dominated the radio charts throughout Latin America, “Sera Que Tengo La Culpa”, collaboration with tropical artist Luis Enrique, “Regalame Un Muack”, “Loco, Loco”, “Pobre Corazón” and a new versión of Juan Luis Guerra’s classic “Bachata Rosa”.

After A Long Teaser Campaign A New Latin Star is Revealed Joel Nuñez

Los Angeles, CA – Today we reveal the face and voice of one of Latin music’s most promising artists. After several weeks of an intense teaser campaign, which generated a great amount of buzz about the singer of “Cuando Se Cree” (When You Believe), Terra.com will premiere the debut single of Puerto Rican singer songwriter Joel Nuñez.

His single is his introduction into the Latin music industry in which he created a great deal of curiosity through his teaser campaign.

In addition to his musical training, Joel Nuñez’s story is an interesting one. His sound and unique style originated as a result of many experiences he has had due to residing in diverse places such as Puerto Rico, Peru, Chile and in several U.S. cities in Texas and Florida.

These experiences, in addition to his musical and cultural background, have been the perfect recipe for Joel’s distinct sound and musical composition style. With influences in genres such as Andean music, rock, ska, and punk among others, Joel Nuñez has been infected with different musical styles due to his experience from living in several cities.

Upon moving to Mississippi, Joel experienced one of the richest phases of his musical career. In the three years he studied music there, he learned a great deal about the Blues. He also immersed himself in the Mississippi River’s culture that lead him to discover other genres of music such jazz, rock and country and further, discover musical icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Due to his constant traveling back and forth to and from Peru, during the time he was studying, Joel stayed in touch with his Latin roots. Finally his family moved to Miami and made it a permanent home. Miami also became home to Joel Nuñez’s writing and the production of his new album, which is due later out this year.

Another event that changed his life occurred on October 23, 2003 when the Florida Marlins (known as the Miami Marlins today) celebrated winning their second World Series Baseball. That night, after attending a Pat Metheny concert, Joel suffered a traffic accident in which he was the passenger. As a result, his right hand was damaged causing him to lose mobility. After multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation, the mobility in his hand has been recovered allowing Joel to play his guitar and move forward with his career.

This is the story of Joel Nuñez, his sound, and voice, which have generated a great deal of curiosity and interest among fans and media.

Ottawa, ON – A&X are pleased to announce the release of their very first full-length Tribal-Mexican rhythm single titled, “La Vaina” under their new artistic name El Adictivo Sonido L.A.X.. El Adictivo Sonido L.A.X. includes the three music pioneers under Orfanato Music Group: Linkon, Alcover, and Xtassy. The trio have also incorporated a DJ concept that delivers an edge to their new alias.

Duo music producers A&X – who are signed under Superstar Don Omar’s record label ORFANATO MUSIC GROUP – continue to prove that they are men of many talents when it comes to the music industry. This month, A&X have stepped it up a notch by creating a new DJ concept that revitalizes the meaning of being a producer and DJ. El Adictivo Sonido L.A.X. have included several new rhythms and sounds to their music and have enhanced their concept by adding many distinctive changes to their onstage performances. The new onstage concept that they are using to revolutionize the DJ world according to A&X is by:
“Creating an exciting performance with light shows, up tempo music, live synthesizers, and so on. We are aiming to make our performances as DJ’s go above and beyond of what people expect from an ordinary DJ. The idea of our name El Adictivo Sonido L.A.X. is about making a statement, which is why we created our first song “La Vaina.”
“La Vaina” has rapidly become a new online sensation on several websites leading to thousands of downloads within its early release this past Tuesday. It is evident that A&X are taking a new route with their musical productions, as they have fused “La Vaina” with exotic tribal and Mexican rhythms that have been gaining popularity. Their new alias, El Adictivo Sonido L.A.X. also incorporates their own vocals in the song leading to a different approach that emphasizes their new concept as producers and DJs.

As they continue to master their trade and dominate the latin music industry with their lengthy and impressive track list of hits that have peaked at #1 on top charts time and time again, it comes as no surprise that “La Vaina” has already reached latin radio stations around the world. Additionally, with large personalities supporting their new single like Superstar DON OMAR, it is highly expected that “La Vaina” will be frequently played on his very own radio station Red Link Radio.

The alias El Adictivo Sonido L.A.X. is their new adventure name and is not to be confused with their producer name, A&X. The alias is part of the idea behind their concept and will be used when being booked for shows. “La Vaina” can be automatically downloaded by clicking here.
