Is a Cuban reggaeton (cubaton) group founded by Alexander Delgado in 2000. The group combines reggaeton rhythms with more traditional forms of Cuban music.Gente de Zona found its first international success following their collaboration with Enrique Iglesias on his 2014 release "Bailando". The track was awarded three Latin Grammy awards and received widespread international airplay.
In 2014, Gente D'Zona joined Enrique Iglesias and Descemer Bueno to produce the outstanding successful theme, "Bailando", which catapulted the group to the international arena. The song stayed in first place on international hits lists. People gave Gente D' Zona possible to break through, especially in the U.S. market, where it is so difficult to get the music of Cuban artists living in Cuba. In June 2014 it was located at number one in the Top Latin Songs. The group has also been successful in Europe. They participated in the ceremony of the Billboard Awards to interpret the song, and it was a real shock[citation needed], thereby leaving the door open for many Cuban artists.
The group began in 2000 when several rappers met in Alamar,
including Ernesto Taxista (former member) an urban area of Havana, known as the
birthplace of Cuban hip-hop.
The name of the group, Gente D' Zona, reflects
their emergence from Alamar.Alexander then met Michel Delgado, "El
Karo," and both started playing at parties and official playrooms
Guanabacoa, Regla and especially Alamar.
The group quickly earned the support
of the public in those areas, and soon started participating in international
festivals. These were in addition to annual rap festivals in Cuba, where
Alexander was responsible for the animation for three consecutive years.
They
later formed part of the Hermanos Saiz Association, and it is not until the
year 2002 that Alexander started his career in the company Antonio María Romeu
appearing around the country. In July 2005 Gente D' Zona was still composed of
Alexander and Michel, and became part of the catalogue of the Cuban Rap Agency.
This led to a more mature genre of work, always mixing with Cuban rhythms, and
considering market requirements.
