Yandel

Yandel, a Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin pop singer, presents symphonic versions of some of his songs at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, with string and wind arrangements.

Yandel is a Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin pop singer, born in Cayey in 1977. He began his career in 1996 and in 2003 released his first album, « Quién contra mí ». Before going solo he formed the duo Wisin & Yandel, with whom he achieved international recognition. As a solo artist he has released De Líder a Leyenda (2013), Dangerous (2015) and The One (2019), and in 2024 he presented ELYTE, a work in which classic reggaeton sits alongside contemporary sounds.

At the Movistar Arena in Madrid, the show brings reggaeton together with classical music in a symphonic format. Yandel performs adaptations of Yandel 150, Rakata, Encantadora and Ay Mi Dios, in which the urban rhythm merges with string and wind sections. Iglesias Entertainment is behind the project in Spain.

In 2025 he was nominated twice for the Latin GRAMMYs, sharing a nomination with Tego Calderón for Reggaeton Malandro. He has collaborated with Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, Maluma, Anuel AA and Rosalía, and his career now spans more than twenty years.
