Alexis y Fido Get Real About Domestic Violence In "No Debe Tocarte"

Domestic violence used to be a topic seldom discussed in the headlines...

But several high-profile cases, including Rihanna and Chris Brown's incident in February, has lifted the lid on the boiling topic's reality. Alexis y Fido certainly aren't holding back their thoughts against the personal matter, which affects an average of 2.5 million households a year according to athealth.com. Despite their positive intentions, the "Down to Earth" duo have received criticism for showing the reality of abusive relationships.

We recently spoke to Alexis y Fido about their upcoming single "No Debe Tocarte":

Yo siempre se lo dije a Alexis, quería hacer un tema que hablara de la violencia doméstica, ¿me entiendes?, que lo estamos viendo a diario en las noticias, en Puerto Rico en cualquier país. Muchas mujeres, pues tú sabes, están pasando por cosas en el hogar que yo digo, personalmente, que no deben pasar un hombre, ¿me entiendes?, porque un hombre no debe tratar una mujer así de pegarle o cualquier una violencia verbal también.
