	PUERTO RICO HERALD: Q&A: Tego Calderon, The Reggaeton King (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Calderon: Reggaeton is the new way the youth here (in Puerto Rico) express themselves, mainly it was a form of expression among the poor.
		Calderon: I have never said this before, but what has made it easier for Tego to actually do the crossover without really intending to, is my skin color.
		Tego Calderon is just another human being, some human beings don't like to show their dark side, but Tego is sincere and allows people to see both sides of him.

		Children and women especially are the most who suffer; children will usually accept less pay and are less likely to complain about their conditions, while women do not receive maternity leave, and may be fired simply for being pregnant.
		When Tego Calderón came out with his first album in 2003, he was a hit; first in Puerto Rico, but his fame spread quickly to every Spanish-speaking audience.
		I just wanted to say that Tego might not have the success that don omar or daddy "hard" yankee have but i have always said and i will always say that he is the best lyricist when it comes to raping in spanish and he is by far.

		Outside, Puerto Rican teenagers press their noses against the glass and shout, "Tego!"; down in the Village earlier in the day, it was the same scene: kids asking for autographs and photos but mostly just wanting to be near their hero.
		Calderon's sense of justice comes from his father, a Puerto Rican health-department worker whose ties to the island's minority Independence Party made Calderon's family outcasts wherever they lived.
		Calderon also walks the walk: Early this year, he turned down Diddy's offer to appear in Sean John ads after learning that the clothing label used sweatshop labor in Latin America.

	village voice > music > Tego Calderon by Michael Deibert
		When Tego Calderon released El Abayarde, his debut album, last summer, you couldn't walk down a street in any of the city's sizable Puerto Rican or Dominican neighborhoods without hearing the beats of "Pa Que Retozen" or "Loiza" thumping from behind tinted car windows or blasting from the steps of barber shops and bodegas.
		Equally an acolyte of Tupac Shakur and Ismael Rivera and an avatar of the Spanish dancehall hybrid known as reggaeton, Calderon made inter-island spice that seemed more reflective of current Caribbean cross-pollination than a dozen Buena Vista retreads.
		With his sophomore set, Enemy De Los Guasibiri, Calderon advances the hybrid further, mixing bomba and plena elements with hardcore hip-hop beats.
