Manny Montes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manny Montes alias El Jibaro (actually Emmanuel Rodríguez ; born December 16, 1981 in Aguadilla , Puerto Rico ) is a Puerto Rican reggaeton and rap musician.

Life

Manny Montes grew up in Tamarindo, a drug and violent crime district in his hometown of Aguadilla. At the age of 16 he confessed to Jesus Christ and began to do Christian reggaeton, which was unusual in the otherwise secular genre. Conversely, since the church did not have a positive view of reggaeton culture, Manny Montes also encountered resistance from this side.

In 2002 he released his first solo recording Realidades . He became known with hits like La Vida que Nace de Muerte and the music industry noticed him. In 2004 he planned, presented and released the album United Kingdom . In it he presented young talents who also made reggaeton, which was also influenced by Christianity. In 2005 his second studio album En Vivo was released , which contained unreleased "Live Tracks" as a bonus ( En Vivo = dt. Lebendig, Live). In 2006 another Presents album was released under the title Los Inmortales . A year later the first sampler of his record label A Fueguember Records was created, which has since been renamed A Fueguember Music . In 2008, the third solo album Nuevo Comienzo was released and in 2010 El Escenario was released .

A Fueguember Music

Montes puts his Christian faith at the center of his music. In 2004 he founded the music label A Fueguember Music which deals with people music . A Fueguember Music was the first Christian label to specialize in reggaeton.
