In 1996, Grammy Award-winning producer Sergio George, riding high on the success of Marc Anthony, came up with a novel concept for a pop/tropical group: two singers and a rapper, all Dominicans and Puerto Ricans from New York. Their name? DLG, an abbreviation for Dark Latin Groove.
“I thought there was a void of dark-skinned Latinos doing music,” says George, who is a black Hispanic. “So, I made a group with three ugly black dudes,” he says with a laugh.
The idea was groundbreaking. At the time there was no reggaeton, no “hurban” stations, no Latino-focused television channels like mun2 or MTV Tr3s and virtually no concept at all of Latin hip-hop or rap.”*
