MUCHO CULO!

We all know Pitbull has a thing for a capacious Culo! From the iconic CULO from M.I.A.M.I with “Mami got thighs like Trina and JLO” to connecting the famous JLO derrière again on a twist on Ain’t It Funny as Mr Worldwide swoops in with “It must be the ass that got me like...damn!”

Produced by Pitbull’s very own DJ Chino Mucho Culo featuring Farruko and El Micha Mucho Culo brings a Latin spin on Trap, dropping an infectious, Southern flavoured dirty beat. Bringing delight to the ear of an old school Pitbull fan, capable of probably sliding easily into his first album somewhere near Dammit Man and being current too and holding its own with potential as being timeless.

Different beat, different style, different Mr Worldwide and vibe but overall a welcomed one!

A head bopper in the clubs to an in the car ‘belt outer’. Watch out Mucho Culo the song is aqui preview it on DJ City!

SHAKE WHAT YOUR MAMA GAVE YOU! JUNGLE REVIEW

BOOM! That’s just how Jungle by Pitbull and Stereotype Ft. E-40 & Abraham Mateo smacked me on the first few bars. Now move on over Bruno Mars ( that’s the rhyme I’m making up and going on with this one!)

I was going to wait until Pitbull's upcoming album the Greatest Hits release on December the 1st before I open my cake hole but oh well, it’s too good to hold off on!

A very meaty funky, R’n’B, a little hiphoppy track.

The Devil knows Pitbull has got no number from We Run The Night and now Mr Worldwide is telling everyone he is way hotter than the man in horns too.

A justified stab at rappers ‘empty’ lyrics with no substance let alone style (or all fur coat and no knickers as the phrase goes here in England) Pitbull knows what he is talking about in his rhymes.
Talk about it be about it and do things to add value to the community and create opportunities for education through building SLAM schools. With that said, one of my favourite lyric stings is “Yeah, these boys rap but they say a whole lot of nada, Me, I’m building schools from Miami to Nevada”

Pitbull calls Miami the ‘pineapple’ and looking at the attention grabbing single cover design we can certainly see where he likes to strategically place the pineapple or interpret it as eating it from the roota to the toota, no we’re not just talking pineapples but it just got a little fruitier as Mr Education still wants to ‘school ya’ with his manhood (that’s a rare reference these days!) reference to it being probably as straight up measured in inches like a ruler “I'm sick Pit ruler, let a slip d*ck through ya” and without mincing any words “Who the who, who the what, who's f**king you. That would be me, P-I-T”

Abraham Mateo kills it on the chorus to encourage you to kick in that animal instinct and not be afraid to behave like one and shake what your mama gave you

E-40 says “Now if you came with your man, leave him over there” then that is exactly what Pitbull Girls need to do!

A great combination of collaborators that really complement each other on this great song.
If you don’t want to get up and dance soon as the beat kicks in, well then there’s something wrong with you, now get up and shake what your mama gave you!

MR MAURICIO FT PITBULL, BOBBY BISCAYNE & AUSIN MAHONE - THE FOUR BAD BOYZ

Mr Mauricio Featuring Pitbull, Austin Mahone and Bobby Biscayne​ Bad Boyz screams Miami, smooth, sensual, sexy and full of facts of how a girl loves a bad boy and just can't leave them alone (we just don't know what's good for us ladies do we..hmm or do we?)

Austin Mahone glides us smoothly through the chorus while Bobby Biscayne and Mr Mauricio takes us through verses. Bad Man, Bad Boy - Pitbull is simply the Baddest of them all. Although "It's got a Scarface feel to it" In real life Pitbull realised soon enough that ending up like Tony Montana was not the right kind of 'Bad Boy' to be and in the song describes going "From thugs, goons and gangstas" (Welcome To Miami heeey!) " To doing business with attorneys, investors and bankers. Taking the negatives to a positive 'Bad Boy' if ever there was one. Pitbull moulded and created his own definition of the suited, booted, classy, educated, savvy bad boy and bad man over the years. Pitbull goes back with a little Jungle Fever on us because "​Not e​ven John Lennon could IMAGINE that" Amongst ​the ​other revisited verses from the original hit Mr Mauricio and Pitbull's Jam On It (2014)

A Pitbull rhyme with no women is a crime with "Menages they offer you know I'm all for that" Menage a trois, well, we all know Pitbull likes to have fun with two add Pitbull it's three-Un, deux, trois. Dale! Out September 23rd.

2 SUPERSTARS, 1 SONG - DALE! THE OFFICIAL COPA AMERICA 2016 SONG - REVIEW

Seems Pitbull just 'Can't Get Enough' of Becky G so Ole Ola here we go again with another football (soccer) song! Produced by Dr Luke, Mr Worldwide with Becky G as guest vocals present us with the official Copa America 2016 song, Superstar. 

A Becky G and Pitbull collaboration is fast becoming a favourite collaboration of mine. Becky G reminds me of a younger Pitbull 'vibe' and lyrical force.

Opening with his signature introduction "Mr Worldwide" and as always graciously introducing any collaborators, in this case " Becky G!" Amongst a stadium-filled cheering crowd atmosphere to draw us right into the centre of the pitch with the upbeat sounds about to hit our ears as Pitbull smacks us with encouragement and most likely also directed to the the players on the pitch "It's not how you fall it's how you get back up" Reflecting not only the spirit of the beautiful game but also his own life, attitude and values. A lyric which can also be heard on another favourite, off his Rebelution album, Can't Stop Me Now

Far from scoring an own goal, the song is full of Latin flavour which captures the fighting spirit and party essence yet with global audience appeal that is sure to hit right at the back of the net on radio stations globally - Goaaal!

The official song cover, produced by Monkey Pig Inc is simple, effective and catching where even the texture of the gold football jumps out of the picture. Superstar is expected to be available on online stores on the 27th May.

PITBULL & ENRIQUE ARE MESSIN' AROUND AGAIN !

Those 'freaks' are messin' around again, teaming up to give us yet another racy collaboration, titled as just that. Messin' Around.

The single, due to be the first one released on Pitbull's upcoming tenth studio album Climate Change had an increased promotional push with a release of thirty second teasers on various publications and social media a few days before its release.

Seems like everyone is messing around and admitting it outright. A little slower than the usual Pit-rique collaborations yet very smooth. The suggestive, provocative rhymes and gravel-like tone of Pitbull captivates and draws us in. Along with what and how you and Mr Worldwide want it – Ay mi madre. With a little help on the production side from Mr Worldwide's official DJ Chino and Jorge Gomez, better known as Jorgie on the keyboards from his sensational band The Agents to bring us their own twist to REO Speedwagon song Take it on the run from the 80's ( we all know Pitbull likes to take it back to that decade!)

Pitbull and Enrique weren't the only ones messing around with this song. Fans of both Pitbull and Enrique also formed a collaboration to get the song trending on twitter to cause a twitter storm around it globally with allocated times to tweet to get the song on and being Mr Worldwide fans, get the song covered in all time zones and corners of the world!

Chino drop that! Are you ready? I’m ready! Let’s mess around and click on the video below.

BAD MAN PITBULL

The Thicke, the Bad, the Perry and the Barker. No it’s not a new spin on a Clint Eastwood film but a reference to Mr Worldwide’s new song, Bad Man with Robin Thicke, Travis Barker (drummer Blink 182) and Joe Perry (Guitarist Aerosmith). Pitbull continues to shock and surprise with this song and range of talents featured on it.  I dare you to listen to this without bopping your head away or playing the air guitar.

“This is history in the making” Causing more ‘Climate Change’ and set to bring on more 2016

‘disruption’ in the charts as Pitbull crosses genres once again with rap and rock. Running straight in with his rhymes invading your ears and commanding attention with the drums and electric guitar from the first verse with a little reference to those who may no longer enjoy his style of music anymore. “They Say he don’t write no more…They say like Le Bron he ain’t got no heat no more…They say he ain’t  street no more…Like Jay (Z)  Say how SICK am I wish em HEALTH fo’sure!”

Cool with it and acting the fool with it, clearly not bothered by fans-turned haters and focused on growth and success in all forms- pa’lante! And then SLAM! “Went back to one of my own neighbourhoods and build a school in it” which has to be one of my favourite stings in his rhymes. Before going on to thank God,  his mum and Miami. Then a staple on Pitbull songs – his empire and women and telling them to  “come and get it girl” (you heard him Pitbull Girls- please form an orderly line!)

Following Travis Barker on the drums throughout and that guitar bridge three quarters of the way through with Joe Perry- wow!

A good guy at heart but has to be a bad man in an evil world (and a women’s world!). Although a purely ‘old school’ style album from Pitbull would be very welcome, however one can understand how Pitbull’s audience has grown and diversified since so it may not be so easy to go back, or as Mr Worldwide may say ‘don’t look back’. It’s 90% business as Pitbull says and that’s how it’s successfully going and growing since. Pitbull has EVOLVED and GROWN and opened up the ears of those fans who are willing to listen, enjoy his old music but open to try something new and stick around for more and enjoy.

Bad Man is rumoured to be a single from Pitbull’s upcoming album Climate Change and will premiere at the 58th Grammy Awards show on the 15th February. Check out the photo taken by the rock star photographer himself, Greg Watermann during a rehearsal..

I’m sure there will be one hell of a video to go with this at some point and see this as a hot summer festival tune- Think we need ALL you to front Glastonbury here in the UK with this one Pitbull (feel free to get Stephen Tyler in for a remix too!)

PITBULL GIVES US FREEDOM!

EEeeeYAW! Let’s just skip the rest of 2016 and get onto the Pitbull Cruise in March 2017 ‘Get on the ship and cruise the world’- well Miami to the Bahamas and back at least!

Pitbull’s Freedom is featured in the latest Norwegian Cruise Line commercial. We know Mr

Worldwide loves to go back in time, put his own twist on songs and with Freedom’s Pitbull chorus takes us back to the carefree and happy 60’s with an adaptation of I’m Free by the Rolling Stones to bring some of the Jagger swagger back in full Pitbull party style to kick off 2016 with an electro-poppy feel capturing the spirit of Norwegian Cruise, Pitbull’s motto of having fun and the commercial impact of being a memorable and catchy song with the visuals to go with it with a clear message – Let’s have some FUN and be FREE. Just live your life ‘cos you don’t live twice (this can all be done on the Norwegian Cruise liner!). I’m feeling it -It’s got that Bomp-ba-ba-ba-ba-bom.

Our boy raps about how he picked up a residency in Vegas making history (2015 goal- tick!) and the different ways himself and his dad associated with boats taking us back to the El Mariel album/Boatlift era briefly and back to his success today.

The bow-tie on the audio cover is also made up of the American flag- stars and stripes, the land of the freedom and very on point for the title and what the song represents.

Everyday above ground is a good day and every day on the ocean is just as great with more freedom!

Free to do what I want and have a good time – bring on the Pitbull Cruise ( don't forget the Voli!)

FREE.K & GET LoOoSE!

Freak like this, freak like that, like ’em a little freaky, freak between the sheets, “I’m a freak” joint admission with Enrique- only one thing on Pitbull’s mind and that’s just to be FREE.K full stop. Twenty-four-seven. Mr Worldwide ready round the clock!

Free.K from Pitbull’s upcoming album Climate Change is produced by Michael Mayeda (who is also one of DJ City’s in-house producers) features the addictive 90’s sampler from Adina Howard’s “Freak Like me” This dance floor filler is all about (say it like Pitbull now..) Getting’ LOOoOOoSE! 

We know Pitbull loves the powerful classy, sassy ladies that mean business but know and aren’t afraid to get down and dirty either. Pitbull reminds us how he likes a lady to be a lady and respects the everyday hard working ones in society. Getting into specifics when the bad girls come out of the good ones such as nurses, teachers, real estate reps, police women and business women to CEO’s. Serious in business and being a FREAK after hours or anytime on call ( The First Lady can’t escape from the rhymes either!) With another message of ‘education’ if you like, who know their men are blowing their money on strippers- get home, lose inhibitions and just be a freak.

If anyone can make the ladies freak-a-leak just through music to the ears then it’s Pitbull.

Combination of Pitbull’s rugged, gravelly voice, overall flow and rhymes with the dance and old school House feel is simply infectious. Yet another dance floor filler sure to be bangin’ out in the clubs worldwide and drawing out all the freaks to the floor. Catchy, fun, sexy, and FREE.K!

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT - PITBULL & YOUR BOY JAMAL

Move on over to the side Drip Drop! It’s Pitbull and he just can’t stop-won’t stop!

Pitbull took on another Empire as his song with Jussie Smollet (Jamal Lyon) No Doubt About It was released on Empire’s Vevo channel. Pitbull is also set to appear along with the hit on Empire Season 2.

You’d be forgiven for thinking it has a little ‘Ne-Yo-esque’ feel as the song was co-written by Ne-Yo with Pitbull (which is always a show-stopping hit combination)

First up is Worldwide reporting Live from the Empire with Jamal about to show us how to get off the chain. Encouraging the ladies it’s all about getting your culo on the dance floor, Pitbull also reminds us in his own style put away the technology and feel the moment “No social media, no camera phones.”To get down some real partying. Then with a ‘Missy’ and Beenie Man twist “Beep Beep who got the keys to the suite” (well where else would the party end up with Pitbull, suite 305 perhaps?)

If all you want to do is party, have some Voli shots with somebody then take the music and turn it all the way up (put your phones away!) and get partying with P.I.T and your boy Jamal because this is the next Pitbull party anthem.

Upbeat, catch, light, feel-good with an uplifting feel. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself smiling inside out while you’re dance and sing along to the song.

No no no no no no no doubt about it-  it’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser and dance-floor filler

Dale EeeeYAW!

DALE THE DALE-LICIOUS ALBUM

It was only a matter of time before we had an album by Pitbull named under his signature phrase. However this is no ordinary album, it’s a global movement and it’s moved fans around the world by coming alive way before the 17th of July.

There’s always excitement around a new Pitbull release but this time Mr Worldwide and Team Pitbull took teasing fans to another level with some ingenious marketing by themselves and getting fans happily involved in carrying some of this too. 

Announcing the release date on Facebook and bringing the album alive with its own personality, the album also has a voice. It has its own website designed by Monkey Pig Inc, and even has an Instagram account. It has its own Twitter. It has Pitbull AND other HOT artists too. Warming up the fans with video teasers getting fans not only excited but also even more engaged by drawing out those creative ‘Pit-Picassos’ amongst us to create images and promote the album through the  #DaleFanArt promo. All of this all before the album was even officially ‘born’. In addition to this, we also have a Q&A with Pitbull fans on Spotify followed by a Night in the 305 at Fontaine Bleu all on the same night – Can’t stop won’t stop Pitbull.

Working from the outside in, the majority of the album artwork is brought to us courtesy of our one and only favourite Rock Star photographer Greg Watermann and it’s good to see clear visual credits of all those in Team Pitbull and Mr 305 Inc., most familiar names and other just as hard working heroes behind the scenes involved in bringing us this Dale-licious album.

Dale the album prepared us for what was about to come long before the launch date and it certainly did not disappoint. Pitbull’s second Spanish album features a medley of talented and accomplished artists both in and outside of the Mr 305 Inc. family. In a twist of old school Pitbull lyrics I say ‘..And if you don’t speak Spanish? Ay mi madre! by the end of this album Pitbull will put the Spanish in you!’

Album kicks off with Mr 305 Inc. in full force Piensas (Dile la Verdad) feat. Gente de Zona and Como Yo Le Doy feat. Don Miguelo (see links below for single reviews for both)

Baddest Girl in Town was released earlier around his fiercest, classiest dancers the Most Bad Ones featuring Mohombi and Wisin. We all know Pitbull likes an 80’s throwback and although this doesn’t sound anything from that era, however as Mohombi kicks into the chorus singing “The Most Baddest Girl in town..” emphasis on the “Baddest” under the layers you can hear echoes of Michael Jackson. Not because of its title but the style in which Mohombi owns the vocals in this part in particular. 

A member of the gorgeous Most Bad Ones were releasing individual sexy images of themselves in turn and on a daily basis standing against a giant gold letter belonging to abbreviations of its title BGIT, captivating and stirring up curiosity with ‘what they knew that we didn’t?’ before revealing all the letters and the full title and release of the song as a promotional single. Very, very catchy and captivating. The saxophone and hook will be playing in your head long after the song has stopped playing and includes Jorge Gomez (Georgie!) From the Agents on the producers credits.

Usually Pitbull brings his party songs with the bass and treble blowing up the tweeters in your speakers from the heart of the party in full swing. El Party feels more like a pre- warm up of the party getting the #PitbullGirls and #Worldwiders ready for what’s about the come- the quiet before the party storm!

It’s great to see some favourite Sensato collaborations on the album such as Que Lo Que remix turned up a notch with the Agents percussionist Papayo and El Chevo as well as El Taxi with (whisper it now) Osmani Garcia which was also previously released as a single stirring up island vibes with reggae fusion mixed in with samplers from Chaka Demus and Pliers ‘Murder She Wrote’ from the 90’s with an updated Latin twist.

Mami Mami features Mr 305 Inc's very own fireball, Fuego, another great reggaeton vibe gets your slo-mo perrea on in no time. Hip poppin’ in between the synth and ‘finger-clicking’ breaks! Subelo DJ!

Mr Worldwide and Osmani Garcia takes it to Miami Beach with Chi Chi Bon Bon
She’s alone (and she’s ‘plural’ Worldwide from Cuba to Puerto Rico), inviting Pitbull to the bathroom and more, but why? Porque ella quiere que le toque el chi chi bon bon! Fresh, catchy and invigorating!

Put your hands up to the wind and enjoy the Latin poppy vibe of Haciendo Ruido with Ricky Martin and Armandito. Another cheerful and breezy track.

Hoy Se Bebe featuring Farruko instantly gave goose bumps. Another worldwide appeal song wherever you are from full of rhythmic vigour.

Back to the 80’s we have No Puedo Mas with Yandel. Samplers and translations taken from British (flying the flag there) Don’t you Want Me by Human League adding a touch of synth-pop, and new wave as it was known then, to the album. A very, very, very good Latin version. 

Pitbull has outdone himself in this album. Be prepared to give that booty a good work out with the infectious, energetic hip shaking Latin rhythms packed in this great album with Pitbull’s very own DJ Chino and Agent, Jorge Gomez production all over it. Guaranteed to leave that feel good vibe lingering for hours. The album gives you inside what it says on the outside of the cover. Distrutando (Enjoying) Armando (Armando!) Locuras (Craziness) Etc ( Et cetera!) 

Congratulations and thank you Pitbull and all of Team Pitbull for the booty ache face and ache given to me by smiling wide and jiggling right through the whole album. Thank you for a wonderful album full of talented artists, producers and endless songs with endless enjoyability! 

On that note – I’m off to D.A.L.E! with it more. Check out the links below for more Fan Art from some of the Pitbull Girls and Greg Waterman images ( thanks to those who sent them to share)

PITBULL AT THE EMERGE AMERICAS CONVENTION 2015

eMerge Americas convention in Miami took place between the 1 – 5th May packed with interactive workshops sessions, notable keynote speakers and summits. The concept behind the conference lies the intention to serve as a place to unite industries and individuals within to connect with their cutting-edge ideas. With key players from various industries such as Health, Finance, Media, Entertainment and Gaming amongst others.

Pitbull was a keynote speaker at the event. Engaging and intriguing as always while stirring up questions, taking the mind down mental avenues we didn’t even know existed and illuminating light bulb moments.

A visionary, Armando proves to make goals materialise in music and business whether it be music or non-music related. As fans we are aware of Pitbull’s goals, his admiration of innovation and creativity and making something out of nothing,

the super entrepreneur and all round business man that also branches outside of music talks about the biggest mistakes the music industry has made. Going onto talking about how the music industry makes more money for other businesses but itself, what doesn’t worry him about the music business that worries others in the industry and more. Telling us more about his new channel on Sirius, Globalization. Getting people to realise what an asset technology is to music and work with it rather than fighting it.

eMerge America’s Mission statement is “To serve as the catalyst for establishing Miami as the technology hub for the Americas in order to propel innovation and investment in South Florida and Latin America” It has also been said that the idea behind eMerge Americas is to be “a global idea exchange focusing on how technology and innovation are disrupting industries” –Emphasis also on the word ‘disruption’  Cue Pitbull to share his wisdom with the innovators and entrepreneurs  and be well on his way according to his plans of causing ‘history’ and ‘disruption’ starting with his home town.

As Mr 305-Worldwide rang in the Nasdaq closing bell on Monday 4th with others, explore more about eMerge and Pitbull’s views at the conference and CNBC’s reports on the links below. An absolute must.

CIRCLE HOUSE STUDIOS & CIRCLE HOUSE VILLAGE - PITBULL HISTORY!

Both Circle House Studios and Circle Village Studios, situated in North Miami have a welcoming, relaxed ambience where the touch of Jamaican influence can also be felt. Each studio in separate buildings located opposite each other which can easily be mistaken for beautiful homes have multiple studios and rooms within.

Apart from state of the art equipment, the studios also feature superb detailed music influenced artwork, decor and ornaments throughout whilst clearly providing an inspirational, comfortable and a professional environment. Extending to outdoor pools with waterfalls to lounging areas, areas where artists can refresh to providing in-house chefs to cater to an artists needs.

The concept and ownership of these impressive studios belong to the legends of reggae, the band Inner Circle. Sweat (A La La Long) by Inner Circle was the infectious global hit, which reached No. 3 here in the UK singles chart and it's also these 'Bad Boys of Reggae' who also have the catchy number Bad Boys as featured in the film Bad Boys starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. 

To name but a few, it is a place where global hits are recorded by artists from Pitbull, Pharrell Williams, Mary J Blige, Enrique Iglesias, Uncle Luke's 2 Live Crew, Rico Love to Maffio who I was fortunate to bump into as he was entering Circle House Studios for a session. 

Circle House Studio also has the famous Circle House Wall signed by artists from Justin Beiber to Pitbull of course! 

Surrounded by impressive plaques from Trick Daddy and Trina. My eyes are drawn to the numerous Pitbull plaques placed in both studios. At the Circle House Studio I was taken in particular by a plaque of where the  journey took off, Pitbull's very first studio album and still very much a personal favourite, M.I.A.M.I. 

Filled with emotions of awe, excitement and admiration to be able to see the M.I.A.M.I plaque but to also visit the iconic studio, a 'mecca' for old school Pitbull fans like myself who followed the Lil' Chico from the beginning where Pitbull history was made. That is the studio where Culo was recorded and remixed.

Amazing, remarkable and breath taking studios with so much detail and thought given to the artists. Thank you Circle House Studios, Circle House Village, The Bad Boys of Reggae Inner Circle, Abebe and Cindy for such an incredible experience.

Without further a do, I will let the photos speak for these astounding studios.

Dale!

CALLE OCHO 2015

The annual Calle Ocho 2015 Latin street festival was one big party. Full of Latin pride even I got whirled into the vibe feeling like an honorary part Cuban, Dominican, Puerto Rican for the day!

Vibrant, colourful Cuban and Puerto Rican flags everywhere, an array of food flavours in the atmosphere, drinks flowing in every direction with the temperatures soaring luckily I had my Voli cap to keep the sun off (Cheers Voli!).Chef Teach Creates also had a stand, mac cheese not to be missed! Unfortunately I did miss it so I'm currently nursing my bruises from kicking myself for it! 

Initially accompanied there by the official Pitbull impersonator Mr Pimpbull 305, I later parked my culo outside the Kiwani's stage where Mr 305 Inc artists were due to perform.

Apart from the sensational Sensato, there was one act in particular I had travelled to see Live, that is the extremely talented Papayo. Screaming at the front row "Papayo!" He came towards my end of the stage and said "Besos..!" with a gesture to match. Thank you, I caught it! Right back at you Papayo! Listening and watching Papayo Live was a dream. Dressed in a slick black jacket, shirt and loafers Papayo worked the stage and got the crowd going. A natural performer 
with great stage presence and live vocals spot on. 

The biggest treat however was yet to come as Sensato and Papayo performed together their hit Que Lo Que, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Earlier Sensato sent the crowd wild and performed alongside El Tal Mickey hits such as Watagatapitusberry, Booty Booty Booty and other personal favourites Bello and Taxi. Known for his unique style and for me his shoes is something my eyes always get drawn to in vibrant animal print with just under the knees but worn over the tracksuit cream socks. Only the Del Patio can pull that look off 'bello!' Later I challenged Team Sensato's El Tal Mickey who can do the 'bird sound' better check it out below along with more videos and images of the day.

Mr 305 Inc's Fuego also performed some of his hits and was a pleasure to see. 

Elsewhere while Space 305 was busy taking shots of the acts on stage, local Pitbull Girl Michelle Dennis and I were busy taking shots if him. Amongst others, Space 305 is also responsible for many of Mr 305 Inc's Jamie Drastik exceptional music videos such as The Decision from Jamie Drastik's latest album Jump.

Jason Cerda (below right) in particular was an act that was a breath if fresh air. All singing, dancing with 'the body' and such a delight to meet. An extremely talented artist. Thank you Jason for stopping by to talk to me it was an honour-say hi to your lovely mum too who was with Michelle and I watching your performance with pride.

Elsewhere breakdancing, Miss Carnival Miami to twerking contests were in full flow to entertain the crowd.

As the day and performances went on it was Flo Rida brought to Calle Ocho 2015 by Mr 305 Inc who was closing the show, crowd surfing, stripping off his top (no complaints from me) and gathering footage for a new video.

A great experience and fun day all round later heading off to Mango's with Mr Pimpull where it was lovely to meet Team Pitbull's DJ Africa.

Calle Ocho 2015 was in it's 38th year of celebrating Latin culture and music. Where proceeds from sponsorship of which Mr 305 Inc participates, goes towards the Kiwani's Of Little Havana Foundation.

On the way home walking through Calle Ocho and feeling the moment and reflecting on the day amongst the hustle and bustle of excited, happy crowds brushing past, I come across a a great 'Fresco' murial by Artistes Pumariega of Pitbull which was the icing on the cake to the end of a perfect day.

Check out the photos and video's below. Let me know if I can get close enough to Team Sensato's El Tal Mickey's signature scream!)  

Thank you, enjoy and dale!
