Yandel Makes History at New York’s Empire State Building 

Yandel’s New Career Move

On Thursday (Sept. 21), Yandel kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month by hosting a lighting ceremony and offering an intimate concert at the Empire State Building in New York, becoming the first Latin act to perform at the venue. The historic moment came on the heels of the Puerto Rican artist’s signing with Warner Music Latina earlier that day.  

“Yandel’s iconic career has resonated with audiences worldwide, and his influence in the music industry is undeniable,” Warner Music Latina president Alejandro Duque said in a statement. “This collaboration signifies a new chapter of innovation and creativity. We are excited to work hand in hand with Yandel to bring his music to fans across the globe.” 

Roberto Andrade, managing director at Warner Music Latina added, “Yandel is an artist who embodies both iconic status and forward-thinking vision. At Warner Music Latina, we take immense pride in joining him on this new chapter of his career, contributing to its evolution alongside his dedicated and collaborative team.”

In the same week, Yandel received two Latin Grammy nominations for “Yandel 150,” his collaboration with Feid: best fusion/urban performance and best urban song.
