Marco, thanks for writing about Tego, a true music industry "Bandolero." He refused to conform. Glad to hear a new generation is listening to him. He had a lot to say, but his message didn't fit in with what reggaeton became when the majors started profiting from it. He was too "down market" as they used to say. Too real.
Thank you so much for the kind words Judy! I totally agree that Tego is one of the last true greats from the whole urban music/reggaetón movement that emerged in the 90s and early 2000s. Unfortuntately the mainstream industry hasn't been thankful with him at all, but the inspiration behind these pieces is actually to pay homage to the amazing work of real artists like him.
Yes, thanks for writing about him Marco, more people should know him, or remember about him! It's important, right now and always, to spotlight artists who speak their mind!
