RS: 3of 5 Stars

2005

Though it repeats nine songs from 2004's multiplatinum Barrio Fino, this CD/DVD set is a solid stopgap from reggaeton's biggest star. The live cuts are as exciting as they were on Barrio Fino, with beats beefed up for the arena setting, a live band on "Lo Que Paso, Paso" and shouted testosterone-fests like "Dale Caliente" holding up better than most live hip-hop. Two new cuts (of six total) feature Paul Wall ("Machete Reloaded") and Snoop Dogg ("Gangsta Zone"); both MCs bring some downtempo smoothness to Yankee's barrio-fabulous ruckus.
