Yandel to Buenos Aires at
Luna Park on September 23.
After the concert, Charge
Kelly took a group of Argentine
children from the Fundacion
Oasi in Moreno to meet with
the duo. The group talked
about the importance of
strenghtening networks between
grassroots organizations
and the community. Wisin
and Yandel are highly respected,
highly driven artists in
the fast-growing Reggaeton
genre, which blends Jamaican
music influences of reggae
and dancehall with those

salsa, merengue, latin pop,
hip hop, and electronica,
making this dynamic duo
a household name on the
music scene. Hailing from
Puerto Rico, they have put
their own definitive stamp
on the genre, making their
music and lyrics original,
fresh. Fundacion OASI (Organizacion

Inclusivas) works with youths
in fields like health, education,

of Buenos Aires. The guests

Projects, two of the musical
workshops sponsored by the
Foundation.
