Not only are Wisin Y Yandel "los lideres" in record sales, pero Los Revolucionarios also know how to use their hard-earned dinero para el bien de otros!
At a press conference in Miami esta semana, los lideres were honored for their extraordinary record-breaking digital record sales for 'La Revolución' (more than 10 millones de copias sold worldwide!), but el dúo dinámico also announced they were partnering with 'Habitat For Humanity' and donating a percentage of their upcoming US Tour earnings to the cause! Los reggaetoneros sealed the deal with an initial donation of a sweet $25K.
At the press conference, Wisin had this to say about their charitable collaboration:
Habitat for Humanity significa esperanza, familia, comunidad, que es lo que todos necesitamos para ser felices. A través de nuestra gira estadounidense, estaremos recaudando fondos y construyendo casas y esperamos que ustedes se unan a nosotros en esta causa tan importante.
Yandel added:
La Revolución comienza cuando corremos la voz sobre organizaciones como Habitat, que diariamente benefician a tantas familias Latinas. Esperamos que nuestros fans también ayuden a recaudar fondos.
Y ahi lo tienes. Wisin y Yandel may seem like they're living up the reggaeton lifestyle with fiestas, carros, bling y mujeres, pero at the root of it all is a great love for la comunidad hispana. Mucho respeto!
