Hello, my gente. Welcome back to I Kirokiero Dino. Today, you're in for a treat. Okay. I am doing my first

bonus episode of 2026 and it's a good one. It's a special one because it is actually the launch.

I should say the relaunch of a project that I started in 2023 that I'm super duper excited to share with y'all.

Before I get into what we're going to be talking about in today's episode, let me give

you kind of a backstory of my relationship with reggaeton, because I promise it's relevant.

Okay.

So I am a true and true millennial born in 1985.

And I, being a Puerto Rican background, grew up in a household that was very musical.

Like, you know, I'm talking about salsa playing while we're cleaning the, you know,

Limpian de la Sala on Saturdays.

My parents had a massive, massive CD collection in their house.

They had a surround sound system. There was always music blasting. So I grew up in a very, very

musically inclined household. Now, mind you, neither my parents can sing, even though they try. And neither of them

can play an instrument, even though my try and neither of them can play an instrument even though my dad

swears that he can play the timbales like tito puente but we're not going to talk about that we are

going to talk about is how influential music has been in my own life since I was a kid I've been singing as a

child since I was a child and I know how to play the harp and the violin.

So fun facts. Your girls got multiple talents. Okay. But for me, I've never been as interested in

like playing music or creating music as I am in like consuming music. So I am a avid music consumer,

especially in the Latin genres.

And it's funny because when I was an adolescent, I really wasn't listening to Spanish music.

So for me, growing up, Latin music was like, I, that's the stuff that like lo bea hito listen to, right?
