In our latest installment of Deep Thoughts, Blogamole contributor Simone Hilliard talks you into spending your rent money on new music — as if we needed convincing!!!

By Simone Hilliard

Shakira released She-Wolf late last year and Christina Aguilera and Juanes bounced back in 2010 with Bionic and Yerbatero, but as a whole, we haven't heard much from the Latin artists we know and love. Fed up with our recycled playlist, Team Blogamole decided to find out where our favorite singers, songwriters, performers, reggaetoneros, pop princesas and emcees have been hiding.

Wisin y Yandel: Este reggaetoneros are double teaming the studio and the stage!  They've already extended their wildly popular La Revolución tour and on July 20 they'll release their La Revolución Live LP.  In November, the dynamic duo are scheduled to drop their eighth studio album, El Regreso de Los Vaqueros. We can't wait!

Aventura: This Bronx born bachata band are busy touring and making the TV rounds on the likes of "Lopez Tonight." As to when we can expect a follow up to 2009's The Last, we have no idea! Romeo and his boys average a new album every two years, so 2011 can't come soon enough!

Pau Pau: This future mamacita is laying low! We haven't heard from the 39-year-old since her 2009 album Gran City Pop and we honestly don't expect to until she has her first bebe. Then, we'll probably hear a softer sound from the exhibitionist that she'll naturally credit to motherhood, ala Xtina and Thalia.

The "Jersey Shore" crowd weren't the only group crashing the set of Enrique Iglesias' featuring Pitbull "I Like It" shoot. MTV Tr3s spoke with the heartthrob singer about his inspiration for the chart-topping first single and all-star collaborations for his upcoming first-ever bilingual album, "Euphoria," hitting stores on July 6.

The Latino King of Pop (yeah we went there) went certified double platinum for his last "Greatest Hits" album, and it appears that he'll strike similar success again considering his star-studded line-up this time around. Enrique Iglesias' ninth studio album will include collaborations with Usher, Akon, The Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger, Wisin y Yandel, and Juan Luis Guerra among others.

He may be busy promoting his upcoming album, but Enrique is also cheering on for team Spain during the 2010 World Cup. The soccer lover was spotted wearing his Spanish colors while on a promotional tour in France.

In case you missed our first announcement: Wisin y Yandel fans, your sueños have come true! The dynamic duo are planning to ignite their second "La Revolución" US Tour starting at El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas on July 22nd.

After completing their sold out tour in fifteen cities last year, including New York and Miami, the "Abusadora" stars have decided to hit up additional cities and show fans that their musical revolution is still alive.

The talented Boricuas are the first and only reggaeton group to also make history by selling out Madison Square Garden, Radio City, and the Staple Center in Los Angeles. Wisin y Yandel may have ticket sales in the US on lock, but Latin America has also embraced them after having record breaking audiences in Mexico and Argentina.

Yandel shouted out his thoughts about their upcoming US tour:

"Nos sentimos orgullosos de poder presentar nuestros conciertos de costa a costa incluyendo en ciudades en las cuales pocos artistas latinos logran presentarse."

"We feel proud to be able to present our concerts coast to coast, including cities that most artists don't get the chance to present in."

The Grammy and Latin Grammy winners will visit smaller cities and markets they missed during the first leg of their tour.

There is no doubt that Wisin y Yandel’s “La Revolución” has become a world-wide phenomenon, but the Puerto Rican reggaetoneros proved their global victory once again by performing for a crowd of over 60,000 fans last week at the Estadio Andes Talleres in Mendoza, Argentina.

The “Sexy Movimiento” stars have currently wrapped up three out of the nine concerts in the second largest South American country and have also spread their revolution throughout Paraguay earlier this month.

The Dynamic Duo hyped up the fans with pyrotechnic sounds and crazy visuals, but the extra dose of musical euphoria was when W&Y Records signed artists, Franco “El Gorila” and Tico “El Inmigrante” took the stage to flex their musical goods.

In case you are lucky enough to snag tickets to the Wisin y Yandel’s Argentinean Concert Tour, be sure to check out their additional dates below the jump!
