Valentino, formerly of the duo Magnate y Valentino (notice how pretty much very duo except Wisin y Yandel, Yaga y Mackie, Alexis y Fido, and Rakim y Ken-Y has disbanded) is starring in the video for "Tu Quieres," the next single off "Los Compadres: La Perfecta Ocasión," which unites Valentino, Gocho, y Mario VI. The single was penned by Valentino and produced by Eliel. The video for it was recenly shot in the beaches of Isabela, a beautiful town along the island's northwest. In the video, he plays a man in love and it's full of scenes with grgeous sunsets in a so-called solitary island... The single (and the album as a whole) is meant to get audiences ready for his solo debut, which is slated for release laer this year.
In other news...
**Vh1 recently aired the "Bling: A Planet Rock" documentary about the horrible mining situationsin diamond hotspot Sudan. Tego Cldeón was in the film, alongside Paul Wall and Raekwon (I'm not even sure why they brought Raekwon along since he's never really been known to rock jewels like that, but hey). Anyway, during an interview I had with Tego some months ago, he spoke about filming the documentary and expressed some discontent with the whole experience. Apparently, Tego was ready to make some pretty syrong comments denouncing the government in Sudan and really speaking his mind. But, as these things work, because of legality issues, he was told he couldn't say a lot of the things he wanted to say and was instructed not to ask certain questions. According to Tego, he felt like documentaries were meant to tell the raw, uneditd truth and that's what he signed up for,but instead, he felt like he had ended up doing a reality TV show. So all the talks he's been hosting about blood diamonds are his way of making things right, of creating more of an awareness of the situation without censorship of a sort.
**Speaking of Tego, he's set to appear in the Franc Reyes-directed, John Singleton-produced film Ilegal Tender, starring Brooklyn-bred Rican/Dominican actor Rick Gonzalez.
*** In a recent interview, Fabolous said he plans to collaborate with Daddy Yankee in the future -- if the two can make their schedules work, that is.
*** J.Lo's Reggaetón movie has yet to receive a release date... Could it be because Omarion and Giancarlo Esposito (neither Latino) are the lead characters? Like whoa.. What was she thinking?
