Anuel AA

Emmanuel Gazmey Santiago, whose stage name is Anuel AA, is a Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin trap singer born in Carolina, Puerto Rico on November 27, 1992.

Despite his popularity only being 5 years old and being interrupted by several legal episodes that have led the singer to enter prison, pausing his artistic activity, Anuel AA has had time to record with the most important figures in reggaeton and trap, and steer a career that continues to rise towards fame.

In 2015, he released his single "Nacimos pa' morir" with Jory Boy and in 2016, he became known worldwide with the song "La ocasión" in which he collaborated with Ozuna, Arcángel, and De La Ghetto.

On April 3, 2016, he was arrested and sentenced to 30 months in prison for possession of firearms. He resumed his career in 2018.

He has shared stages with Puerto Ricans Ozuna and Ñengo Flow, who propelled him to fame in his homeland. With Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, and Karol G (his current partner), he recorded the song "China" in 2019, of which he is a co-author, and which entered number 2 on Spotify's Top 50 Global, with over 5,000,000 streams.

In Spain, the song entered number 1 on the Top 50, breaking the record for most listens in 24 hours (724,000) and became the most successful song in the genre of 2019 in that country.

In January 2020, he released "Me Gusta" alongside Shakira through Ace Entertainment and Sony Music Latin. The song contains a sample of "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" by the Jamaican band Inner Circle. Anuel is a co-writer of the song, whose video currently has over 100 million views on the YouTube platform.

On May 13, 2020, he released the song La Bebe (Remix) with Black Jonas Point, Secreto, Liro Shaw, and Cardi B. On the same day, he released the song Sur y norte with his partner Ñengo Flow for his album The Goat.

For his second album "Emmanuel" released in 2020, he features collaborations with Karol G, Daddy Yankee, Kendo Kaponi, Tego Calderon, Enrique Iglesias, Bad Bunny, among others. He also has another album from 2018 titled Real hasta la muerte.

In October 2019, in the fifth edition of the Latin American Music Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, he was the big winner, receiving five awards in the most prominent categories: Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Favorite Male Artist, Urban Artist, and Urban Album.

In December 2019, along with his partner Karol G, he was in charge of entertaining the evening with his music during the party that took place after the renewal of vows ceremony of Uruguayan footballer Luis Suárez and his wife Sofía Balbi. There he coincided with Leo Messi, Neymar Jr, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, among others.

In June 2020, in the music video for the song "Reggaetonera," which pays tribute to many Latin American countries through their flags and the dancers' costumes, there is also a reference to Cuba.
