Snippet Bio: Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, in 1972 but raised in nearby Carolina and in Miami, Fla., rapper Tego Calderón got the multicultural backbone he’d need to become a star in the genre-mixing world of reggaeton. Growing up with massive Ismael Rivera fans as parents exposed the young Calderón to envelope-pushing Latin pop music, while his father’s love of jazz added yet another flavor.
