Mach and Daddy’s “La Botella”

“Latin music’s sleeper hit of the year, Mach and Daddy’s “La Botella,” sneaks its audible attack. Stealthily, the tropical percussion, signature reggaeton rhythm and hooky chorus sung almost as an impromptu party refrain have invaded your brain. Once you hear it, there’s no shaking it.

“La Botella” transformed Panamanian brothers Pedro “Mach,” 26, and Martin “Daddy” Machore, 23, into international sensations. The song, from the siblings’ 2005 debut album, Desde Abajo, first conquered Panama, then Costa Rica, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Central America and Mexico, where it spent a staggering 10 weeks at No. 1.”
