Independent Research: Juan Magan

There are many composers, and producers in this industry that have had a large impact on popular music.  The person I am going to be writing about is probably not that well known here in the United States, if you do not follow Latin and electronic music, but he has made a huge impact on popular music in latin america and around the world.  The person I am talking about is dj/producer, Juan Magan.  Juan Magan is a Latin and house dj/producer from Spain, and his music is filled with tropical and vibrant Latin sounds and instruments and adds an electronic twist to it.  What Juan Magan did, since he was already established in Europe, was take his Latin sounding electronic music and he practically physically brought it with him to south and central america, and completely changed the club scene in those places.  Before this, djs and producers in latin america were just making electronic music just like everyone else, and because of Juan Magan, they were able to make their own distinct genre and sound what is now called electro latino, or latin house.  He has played and performed in almost all of the most important cities of every continent and is number two in the world for most digital sales on beatport for his hit song "Bora Bora".  Most of the music Juan Magan produces and djs are mostly for the clubs and for people to dance.  He has also worked with many major artist including Don Omar, Pitbull, Nelly Furtado, Paulina Rubio, and Bob Sinclair.  What impresses me is the way he produces and makes his mix is as if you were going on a journey or that you are traveling through some exotic place.  I have been to one of his shows first hand in Panama City, Panama and I can say that this man does not disappoint.
