WISIN & YANDEL, "LOS EXTRATERRESTRES" Film Music Video Alongside Franco De Vita


San Juan, PR, December 4, 2007- Wisin & Yandel and Franco De Vita shook up La Perla in Old San Juan during the filming for the video of "Dónde Está El Amor?", new song off their chart topping album 'Los Extraterrestres' -the album released on November 6th and currently sits on the Top spots of Billboard Charts.

The video sets out to capture world issues due to poverty using visuals from the many of the barrios in Old San Juan. The plot takes the viewer on a journey through the eyes of an eight-year-old child and his melancholic walk through the streets of city while trying to comprehend his plight and that of his family for something to eat. Wisin & Yandel's uncompromising passion alongside Franco De Vita's unique sensibility fills the video with a similar feeling to that of the Brazilian movie "City Of God", successfully provoking the audience to think and act upon global social injustice.

More than one hundred people participated in the filming of the Jessy Terrero directed video, the same director of the duo's previous video for the single "Sexy Movimiento."

"We are incredibly moved by this project we have undertaken with Franco, a man we greatly admire and respect" expressed Wisin during the video shoot.

Yandel noted "It is an honor for us to share this moment with Franco de Vita, a musical icon and we hope to use this video to help end all disharmonies between brothers. I think this song is our greatest contribution to the cause."

"Los Extraterrestres" continue to work through the Holiday season and will start 2008 with a very hectic schedule which includes a grand performance at the Viña del Mar festival in Chile.

Wisin & Yandel are also preparing for their massive international tour which will take them to Central and South America as well as Europe.
