Their album, The Last, was certified double-platinum and held the no. 1 spot on the charts for a record 15 weeks; they performed for the president and first lady during last month’s Fiesta Latina at the White House; and their upcoming shows have already sold out on both coasts. Is there anything these Dominican bachateros can’t do? Well, their supremacy will be tested this weekend during the American Music Awards when they face off against Wisin y Yandel and Luis Fonsi for the title of “Favorite Latin Music Artist.”
In the meantime, the Bronx-based boys have just released another single from their top-selling album. The song, titled “Dile al Amor,” has lead vocalist Romeo singing, “I don’t need no love in my life” as he gives up on finding the perfect woman because of all his failed relationships. The video for the track was shot mostly in Brooklyn, with the bridges in the background. It opens with Romeo sleeping soundly while a beautiful raven-haired cupid (or is it cupida?) aims her arrow at him. Flashback scenes reveal the many disillusions our hero has suffered and why he’s determined to stay single.
