Cinq Music has announced the first-ever vinyl editions of six groundbreaking albums by Reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee. This release is part of the 20th-anniversary celebration of his iconic album Barrio Fino and the hit single "Gasolina," which played a pivotal role in popularizing Reggaeton globally.

Celebrating 20 Years of Barrio Fino

The 20th-anniversary celebration of Barrio Fino includes the release of a special Bhangra remix of "Gasolina" by acclaimed rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer Tesher on July 26. "Gasolina," the lead single from Daddy Yankee's third studio album Barrio Fino, won a Latin Grammy for Best Urban Music Album in 2005. It was also the first Reggaeton album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, and "Gasolina" was the first Reggaeton song to be nominated for a Latin Grammy for Record of the Year.

Vinyl Releases and Pre-Order Details

Pre-orders for the first vinyl drop will begin on August 16, featuring three albums: Barrio Fino, El Cangri.com, and Los Homerun-es. A second series, slated for release on November 15, will include El Cartel: The Big Boss, Talento de Barrio, and Mundial. These vinyl drops will combine digital and in-person events to celebrate Daddy Yankee's influential career and engage fans worldwide. Exclusive vinyl variants will also be introduced over time, enhancing their appeal to collectors.

"Daddy Yankee is a music pioneer who brought an underground genre to the masses," said Barry Daffurn, Cinq Music President and Co-founder. "His success and the continued growth of the Reggaeton movement show that music truly is an international language.
