Rapper Tego Calderon's colleagues protested after he was banned from participating in an April performance with "merenguero" Toño Rosario in the Dominican Republic. The singer was denied participation because he promotes the use of marijuana in his songs. Toño Rosario, Joseito Mateo, and Rafael Corporan criticized the authorities for the ban, and Rosario cancelled the concert to show solidarity with his fellow musician.
Spanish heartthrob David Bisbal is currently touring various countries to promote
his hugely successful album "Buleria," which like his first, has skyrocketed
to the top of music charts around the world. He's also filming a video for his
single "Oye El Boom."
