Yandar y Yostin came out of Bayamón, Puerto Rico in the early 2000s. The duo was made up of Yandar (Raúl Armando Rodríguez Martínez) and Yostin (Luis Alfredo Maldonado Santiago). They broke through in 2005 with "Te Pintaron Pajaritos," a reggaeton track that became a hit. Other songs like "Creepy Creepy" and "Cucaramacara" followed.
They put out albums like "Los Extraterrestres" in 2006 and "The Secret" in 2007. Their music had a straightforward, rhythmic feel, with lyrics that could be playful or direct, as in songs like "Ella Es Mi Ex" and "No Dice Nada." Yandar often handled the writing and vocals, while Yostin worked on production.
In 2007, they had a legal issue with Pina Records that affected the release of "Los Extraterrestres." Their use of explicit lyrics also drew some criticism at the time. They kept making music into the 2010s, with the album "Reggaeton Dynasty" arriving in 2010.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
