The Best Puerto Rican Day Parade video on YouTube The 2007 Puerto Rican Day Parade, 50th Anniversary, took place in New York, NY, USA in June 2007. This is the best video I have shot and edited so far since subscribing to YouTube. I had about 1 hour of footage and I was able to get less than 10 minutes of it so I am happy with how it turned out. My sister Nadia, her friend Josh and I got there at 9am, the parade started at 11am and we left at 4pm. When we left the parade was still going on. What you are seeing are clips from the first 3 hours of the parade. I have to say that of all the parades I have been to and seen on TV, the Puerto Rican parade is the best parade in NYC. Puerto Ricans know how to party, make noise, and have a good time. It is probably the best thing to a free concert on the street that you can possibly see. Ricky Martin was the King of the Parade and seeing him in person was the happiest moment of 2007 for me. I have had a crush on him since I was 16 when he was on a soap opera. I am 29 years old, and I am still in love him! Big shot out to all the Ricky Martin fans worldwide. Tags: Puerto Rico Rican parade music Ricky Martin Jennifer Lopez JLo |

Gabriel Rican Rodriguez - The Hood Mix Classic Old School Mix tape from DJ Gabriel Rican Rodriguez off "The Hood Mix" from the early 90's Bio Gabriel Rican Rodriguez, of Puerto Rican decent, was born in the Pilsen area on the Southside of Chicago. As a kid, he often found himself playing with his older brother's & father's phonograph players, record collection, and tape recorders instead of playing with toys. Something about music just fascinated him as a kid. In 1984, at the age of 13 yrs old, he first saw the movie Beat Street and the movie soon motivated him to be a break dancer, graffiti artist and then later to become a DJ/Producer. By the age of fourteen yrs old, he and his former B-boy partners DJ THIRD RAIL, DEVASTATING DENNIS, ALEX AYALA, and ALFIE SWIFT KID started doing parties around the neighborhood. By 1995, Gabriel Rican was blowing up the Chicago mix tape scene with over 45 different mix tapes of various styles of music and sold thousands at local records shops, malls, flea market stands and even out of his trunk. This was also the same year he started producing music with his life time partner in crime DAVID DIRZO whom he still produces music with for THROWBACK PROD. During most of his music career, Gabriel has worked for a number of music related places such as HOT JAMS RECORDS, FUSION RECORDS, ALL MIXED UP, AVT CD & DVD DUPLICATION and SAM ASH MUSIC. He has also spun for Chi-town stations such as: B-96 96.3 FM, WCRX 88.1 FM, WRTE 90.5 FM, WIIT 88.9 FM, and WCYC 90.5 FM. Gabriel Rican also had the opportunity to showcase his skills on HOT WAX one of the hottest cable dance mix shows on Comcast Cable with over 1.5 million viewers per episode. Not to mention, his performance earned me a spot on the "BEST of HOT WAX 2003" episode. He was also the former main DJ of one the best voted Latin night clubs in Chicago's history called CLUB 720. This year Gabriel Rican celebrates his 21st year in the Chicago Latino music scene. He writes, arranges and produces various different styles of dance music: Reggaeton, Hip Hop, R&B and House. Gabriel also is a member of WU-TANG LATINO'S DJ Squad called "THE NEEDLE BREAKERZ", La Kalle's ROMPEDISKOTEKAS DJ Team, SOUL SELECTORS, THROWBACK PRODUCTIONS, NUYOSHI, NO NAME ENT. & ALOFOQUE. You can check out why he's labeled as the #1 Reggaeton DJ in Chicago as he spins on Friday & Sat nights for La Kalle's ROMPEDISKOTEKAS show. Currently, he works for UNIVISION RADIO - (LA KALLE 103.1 FM , 93.5 FM, LA QUE BUENA 105.1 FM, PASION 106.7 FM & LA TREMENDA 1200 AM).

Afro-Rican - Give It All You Got Extended (1987) Afro-Rican is a popular Miami Bass and Hip-Hop group, most famous for their genre shaping 1987 hit Give it All You Got (Doggy Style), as well as their 1995 hit All of Puerto Rico. The group is the brainchild of Derrick Rahming, and the remainder of the lineup has changed over the years. Most fans consider the classic lineup to be Rahming (Rahming), Juan Arroyo (DJ Slice), and Marcus Rice (MD Rock). Afro-Rican grew out of the open air mobile DJ crew We Down Express. Like other DJ crews of South Florida during the mid-1980's, their local fame eclipsed that of regional recording artists, and labels made an attempt to cash in. As 'We Down Express', they recorded the song Bass Attack for Pandisc Records in 1986, which failed to make much of a mark (Pandisc PD-017). Later that year, they rechristened themselves The Afro-Rican Connection to highlight their bi-racial makeup, possibly as a way to maximize marketability. As The Afro-Rican Connection, they released the single It's Live b/w Ragina single for Pandisc (Pandisc PD-020) also in 1986, which made a bit more of an impact, but still failed to gain them lasting fame. Come 1987, the Miami Bass scene had begun to realize the potential of uptempo Club-Bass records, so Derrick Rahming began production on his perception of this sound with his brand new E-mu SP1200 drum sampler. Although this sound was not something he preferred, he knew that labels wouldn't continue to fund records that sold in meager quantites, and with 2 Live Crew and Kooley C's uptempo Bass tracks dominating the local clubs, producing a song in this vein was a means to an end. The group shortened their name to Afro-Rican, and the resulting song was their landmark Give it All You Got (Doggy Style). Edward Meriwether snatched up the song for his Suntown Records, putting most other deals on hold during the signing and promotion of this track. The song essentially tied all the elements of the Miami Bass sound together, defining the genre for years to come. Now with their foot shoved firmly in the door of Miami's music scene, Afro-Rican began Hip-Rock Records, and commenced production on their album dominated by a more traditional Hip-Hop sound. The trail blazed by their hit single opened more doors than expected, scoring a 'manufacturing and distribution' deal with Luke Skyywalker Records in 1989. However, their fanbase was not ready to hear the group's take on straight-ahead Hip-Hop, and the entire buildup was foiled in one shot. The group failed to move units, and the deal with Skyywalker was squandered. In 1991, Afro-Rican made a comeback attempt by releasing the album Sex and Fun, tying together their stab at club related Bass music and more takes on traditional Hip-Hop, but the album again failed to find its audience. These became lean years for Derrick Rahiming, recording from his bedroom in an era where bedroom producers were a rarity. However, Techmaster P.E.B.'s success in the new sub-genre of Car Audio Bass created a niche that was still in its infancy circa 1991, and Derrick saw an opportunity. Creating an entire album of Car Audio Bass in his bedroom led to the creation of his Car Audio alias, Power Supply. Figuring out the formula to market this music directly at car shows under his Hip-Rock label proved to be highly successful, and this put Afro-Rican/Hip-Rock Records back on top overnight. In 1995, a new incarnation of AfroRican with Derrick Rahming still at the helm, and Marcus Rice (MD Rock) doing more rhyming, produced their second biggest hit, All of Puerto Rico. Throughout the 1990's, they discovered and employed artists such as 6-1 Dog, "Get Some Crew", and DJ KOS. By the time 2000 rolled around, a new generation of Florida Bass music fans began to place the group on a historical pedistal due to the genre-shaping success of Give it All You Got (Doggy Style), and the new-school Electro Bass group Jackal & Hyde remade the song with Rahiming performing a new lead vocal. Afro-Rican also collaborated with Neil Case's Bass Mekanik imprint under the Pandisc Records' umbrella, producing hybrids of Car Audio Bass, Florida breaks, and traditional Hip-Hop textures. Derrick Rahming continues to live and record in South Florida under the alias of Chameleon. The song "Give it All You Got" is sampled in American singer Fergie's hit song Fergalicious, a remake of Supersonic by the female group J.J. Fad.
