About El General
- Edgardo Armando Franco, better known as El General, is a Panamanian former reggae artist considered by some to be one of the fathers of "Reggae Español".
- During the early 1990s, he was one of the artists who initiated the Spanish-language dancehall variety of reggae music.
- Early examples of this were the international and somewhat mainstream songs, “Te Ves Buena” and “Tu Pun Pun”.
- Both songs, performed in Spanish deejaying style, were very successful in North America.
- After getting his foot in the door of the commercial market, many other Spanish-language dancehall reggae artists became famous in the mainstream as well.
- He has a unique, easy to listen to style of dance music and has produced many well-known songs all over Latin America.
- His musical works have become popular in Latin America over the last few years.
- This style is called reggae en Español, because he makes dancehall reggae music with Spanish-language lyrics and is an early precursor to reggaeton.
