Puerto Rican crooner Lenny Tavarez had once planned to make basketball his career, but a stint as one half of the pop-reggaetón duo Dyland & Lenny changed all that. Their success with a playful, lighthearted tropical touch and a genre-scouring approach (EDM, merenhouse and even cumbia show up across their two albums) gave Tavarez a taste for the limelight. After they split in 2013, he released a series of lightweight but enjoyable singles, such as “La Nena”, in the same vein. But he really found his voice with the advent of Latin trap, becoming an indispensable, romantic voice (and collaborator) in the movement.
