Editorial Review:
Barrio Fino En Directo is a CD/DVD packed with exciting new collaborations, behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, and live performances that reaffirm Yankee's title as the undisputed King of Reggaeton. The eagerly anticipated 16-song collection includes live renditions of hits like "Lo Que Paso, Paso," "Corazones," and the international phenomenon "Gasolina," as well as five new tracks produced by musical masterminds DJ Urba & Monserrate and rising star Sammy Fisher, among others. The first single, "Rompe," is quickly taking the airwaves by storm, beginning to tally up radio spins. The four other new songs on the album include "Gangsta Zone," featuring Hip-Hop icon Snoop Dogg; a remix of the club anthem "Machete" featuring Houston's latest sensation, Paul Wall; and the infectious "Machucando" and "El Truco".
The Barrio Fino En Directo DVD, directed by Carlos Perez, includes over sixty minutes of never-before-seen footage. Viewers can enjoy Yankee's energetic performance at his sold-out concert in Puerto Rico's Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot and also follow the artist around the globe during his extensive world tour. Other DVD features include an in-depth interview with the reggaeton pioneer, a music video for the song "Corazones," and extensive behind-the-scenes footage that will shed new light on Yankee's charismatic personality, rigorous schedule, dedicated work ethic and unique creative process.Description of Barrio Fino en Directo:
Give Daddy Yankee some credit for making Barrio Fino En Directo more than just a slapdash cash-in on his widepsread appeal. Fans will surely be appeased by this lush collection as they await the reggaeton superstar's proper follow-up to 2004's double-platinum Barrio Fino disc. The En Directo CD/DVD package isn't really a formal live disc, and it isn't a standard hits collection. Rather, it's a clever hybrid of past chart-toppers, in-concert moments, solid new tunes and slick documentary footage. The CD features energetic versions of "Corazones," "Lo Que Paso, Paso" and the ubiquitous "Gasolina" recorded at different stops throughout Daddy Yankee's monstrous live tour. There are also five new tracks, including the fist-pumping "Rompe" and collaborations with Snoop Dogg (the tongue-tripping "Gangsta Zone") and Houston-based rapper Paul Wall (slinky standout track "Machete Reloaded"). The new tracks further highlight Daddy Yankee's effortless medling of urban Latino rhythms and U.S. hip-hop beats. The accompanying DVD is stuffed with interesting moments, including a few live performances, a video for the socially conscious "Corazones," and a Q&A session featuring Daddy Yankee's takes on fame, family, retirement and rival Don Omar. There's also a trailer for the Spanish-language film "Talento de Barrio," which aspires to be DY's own version of Eminem's acclaimed "8 Mile" sprinkled with some of John Singleton's "Boys N the Hood." Given Daddy Yankee's track record thus far, expect to see it burning up the big screen very soon. --Joey Guerra
Barrio Fino en Directo Reviews:
Buy it. 
2006-08-24 - Daddy Yankee is arguably the most recognized Reggaeton artist and for a reason.
Buy this CD, it's amazing. It really needs no explanation.
great album/DVD!! 
2006-04-02 - You can really feel the crowd erupt at the beginning of "king daddy" as he tells all the "Boricuas" to raise their arms! For me, even though I'm not fluent in spanish, you can still get the energy that he evokes from the crowd. It's on my workout playlist on my IPOD. The DVD is great as well, especially the interview. If you already have Barrio Fino, then En directo is a great addition!!
BORICUASO CALIENTE
