What is Gente de Zona’s net worth?

Introduction

Gente de Zona’s irresistible and energetic sound first became known in Cuba, where the group was formed in 2000.

With each global hit, the group has helped introduce new audiences to Reggaetón Cubano, a style of the urban genre that is unique from the more popular riddims of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Panama.

Biography

Formed in 2000 in the Havana suburb of Alamar by Michel “El Caro” Delgado and Alexander Delgado, Gene de Zona started out as a hip-hop group, playing at parties and local clubs. 

Alexander Delgado said during an interview:

“In the beginning, we were just guys from our neighborhood, and I didn’t have a name so we came up with Gente de Zona.”

In 2005, El Caro left, and Alexander Delgado recruited two new members, Fernando “Nando Pro” Otero and Yosdany “Jacob Forever” Carmenates.

In 2012, “Nando Pro” Otero and Yosdany “Jacob Forever” Carmenates left the group to pursue their own musical project, once again leaving Alexander Delgado as the sole remaining original member.

However, Alexander swiftly poached Randy Malcom Martinez from Charanga Habanera, a timba ensemble from Havana.

In 2014, the band collaborated with Enrique Iglesias for the hit “Bailando.” Alexander Delgado said:

”When he gave us the song, it was in part written by Descemer and Enrique Iglesias, and we completed the song, we created what the song needed, and we did the video with Descemer, but Enrique Iglesias was not involved at that point.”

Delgado also told La Opinion that:

“Bailando almost didn’t happen. Iglesias didn’t really like the song and that they didn’t finish writing it. Then Randy and I took over and finished the song, we put in the last touch and we made a video clip in Cuba and we showed it to him.”

Randy Malcom declared:

“Bailando is a really good song, but I think what it did was give us the opportunity to really express what Gente de Zona is, right?”

In 2014, the band won three Latin Grammy Awards.

In September 2014, Gente de Zona performed at the Madison Square Garden in New York City.

In April 2016, the duo released their 3rd album Visualízate including the hit single Más Macarena in collaboration with a Spanish Latin pop and dance band, called – Los Del Río.

Quotes

”When I came to the U.S., I discovered that we had a way of saying things that was very closed, that in a lot of Latin American countries, they couldn’t understand what we were saying.”

”When reggaetón came to Cuba from Panama, back when El General was making music, we called what we were creating cubatón because we maintained our roots.”

”I think that Gente de Zona entering the international market has allowed other artists to create a space for themselves there, too.”
