This renegade group of Dominican American teenagers toured relentlessly through the 1990s, trying to gain acceptance for their unconventional mix of bachata, hip-hop and R&B. By the time 2002's We Broke the Rules was released, it was clear that their transgressions would set new standards. "Obsession" became a huge hit, and the group continued to experiment with bachata's boundaries. Bilingual Love and Hate (2007) found them moving into urban-music territory, incorporating elements of hip-hop and R&B into a mix of tropical styles. Released in 2006 and 2007, respectively, K.O.B. Live and Kings of Bachata - Sold Out at Madison Square Garden showcased their growing stage prowess as well as their burgeoning Rolodex, thanks to cameos from Don Omar and Hector Acosta. Reggaeton beats and appearances by Akon, Wyclef Jean and Ludacris expanded Aventura's range on 2009's The Last, but they never abandoned their bachata roots. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.618&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Hitmakers Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:32 -0800 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.618 art.618 Wyclef Jean art.618 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.618&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.618&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss The Score, their footprint remains heavy on everything from boho rap to mainstream hip-hop. After their tumultuous dissolution, Wyclef released his solo debut The Carnival in 1997. Whether experimenting with Caribbean rhythms ("Guantanamera") or pop ballads ("Gone 'Till November"), the album was a celebration of eclecticism. His next four disks ranged from decent (2000's The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II A Book) to great (04's Welcome To Haiti Creole 101), but they were always unpredictable and fun. In 2006, he had his biggest hit since the days of the Fugees when he produced Shakira's dancefloor anthem "Hips Don't Lie." He returned to the charts in 2007 with "Sweetest Girl," a smash featuring it-boyz Lil' Wayne and Akon. His sixth album, Carnival, Vol. 2, was released in December, 2007. - Sam Chennault]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40167&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Dance Pop Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:52 -0800 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.40167 art.40167 Gloria Estefan art.40167 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40167&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40167&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5495&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Cuban Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:49:00 -0800 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5495 art.5495 Buena Vista Social Club art.5495 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5495&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5495&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Buena Vista Social Club, wound up selling over five million copies, largely by word of mouth, and won a Grammy for Best Tropical Latin Performance. The Buena Vista Social Club did more internationally for Cuban music than decades of cultural exchanges ever could and simultaneously helped popularize the world music genre in the late-1990s.

Cooder was invited to Havana by the British world music producer Nick Gold to a record African High-life musicians with a group of Cuban players. When the African musicians failed to get their visas, Cooder and Gold instead recorded an album of son — a polyrhythmic musical style long popular in Cuba — with veteran local musicians. After assembling the core group — musical director Juan de Marcos González, bassist Orlando "Cachaito" López, guitarist Eliades Ochoa, pianist Rubén González and singers Manuel "Puntillita" Licea and Compay Segundo — the recording session began at the Havana studio Egrem, an old RCA Records Studio with 1950s vintage equipment.

The album's fourteen tracks were recorded in six days. One of the songs, "Buena Vista Social Club," was written by Cachaíto's father about an old Havana gathering place. Cooder decided to name the group and album after the club. When Cooder returned to Havana two years later with his percussionist son, Joaquim, to record Ferrar for a solo album, director Wim Wenders followed them. His film, Buena Vista Social Club, is mix of footages from that trip and Buena Vista's live performances in New York City and Amsterdam. The film was nominated for an Academy Award in 2000. Though several solo albums came out of the project, the renewed attention for the veteran Cuban musicians was short-lived. In 2003, Compay Segundo and Ruben González died at ages 95 and 84, respectively; Ferrer died at 78 in 2005. Despite their losses, the group continues to tour with a revolving line-up of musicians. ]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3320&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Salsa Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:51:32 -0800 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3320 art.3320 Celia Cruz art.3320 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3320&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3320&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Mambo Kings.

By venturing closer to the source, they will discover what Latin jazz fans have known for years: Puente's intoxicating mix of Big Band jazz and Latin music creates Mambo madness at its finest. Tito Puente is credited with fusing Cuban charangas with Big Band swing and Bop. Puente always had one eye on dance fans and indeed, his music puts the ghost of St. Vitus in your body. But his other eye was planted on jazz fans -- he loved arranging for composers such as Horace Silver and his soulmate Dizzy Gillespie. There are many similarities between Puente and Diz's various big bands -- chief among them the spirit of global brotherhood that they celebrate. But Tito Puente never let his jazz side distract from his music's mass popularity; when the Big Band era was long gone, Puente not only kept his band together but saw it thrive. With more than a hundred albums to his credit, at least one or two should be a part of every collection. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.30305&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Salsa Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:04:46 -0700 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.30305 art.30305 Gilberto Santa Rosa art.30305 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.30305&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.30305&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Punto de Vista.

In more recent years, he has experimented in other styles of Latin music while devoting his energy to his new political party in Panama and his subsequent bid for the presidency. - Robert Leaver]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5990&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Cantautor Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:04:24 -0700 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5990 art.5990 Silvio Rodriguez art.5990 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5990&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5990&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15179&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Latin & World Jazz Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:20 -0800 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.15179 art.15179 Ray Barretto art.15179 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15179&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15179&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.27340&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Soca Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:48:59 -0800 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.27340 art.27340 The Mighty Sparrow art.27340 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.27340&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.27340&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3410&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Latin Rock Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:30:35 -0700 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3410 art.3410 El Chicano art.3410 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3410&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3410&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.31418&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Dancehall Sun, 29 Nov 2009 09:28:27 -0800 Top Caribbean Artists on Rhapsody Online art.31418 art.31418 Tanya Stephens art.31418 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.31418&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.31418&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fcaribbean%2Fartist-chart.rss Big Tings A Gwan, which launched hits like "Kick Way" and "I Bet You Miss Me."

Needless to say the move didn't last -- she missed dancehall dreadfully, and within three years she was back in Jamaica, hanging around recording studios, armed with a burning creative streak.
