Rene & Renny

Rene (born 1980, René Darío Velazco Villazmil) from Puerto Cabello and Renny (born Mario Alfredo Donoso Cordoba) from Caracas met while participating in the Venezuelan tropical outfit Salserín. After signing up to BMG, Rene & Renny moved from salsa to Latin pop while making their debut in 1998 with the release of the Christmas-oriented Un Regalo de Navidad. A year later, Fernando Rojo produced their second album, called Quiero Volver. The album was promoted with a worldwide tour and featured the hit singles "Deshojo la Margarita," "Quiero Volver," and "Vuelve a Mi." ~ Drago Bonacich
