A Puerto Rican reggaeton star whose 'Danza Kuduro' became a worldwide dance anthem.
For his range, listen to the early reggaeton drive of 'Dale Don Dale' and the global crossover of 'Danza Kuduro'. They bookend a career that's both locally rooted and unexpectedly wide.
Don Omar's music moved from the streets of Puerto Rico to international charts, especially with 'Danza Kuduro' in 2010. That track, a collaboration with Lucenzo, turned into a global party staple. Earlier hits like 'Dale Don Dale' from his 2003 debut 'The Last Don' helped define reggaeton's early 2000s sound.
He started as a choir member before releasing his first album 'The Last Don' in 2003. After albums like 'King of Kings' and 'iDon', his 2010 single 'Danza Kuduro' with Lucenzo reached a massive international audience. He kept releasing music, including 'The Last Don II' in 2015, and worked with artists from Lil Jon to Snoop Dogg.
