Papi Sanchez
Papi Sanchez, from the Dominican Republic, is a genre unto himself. By mixing
merengue and rap, he created merenrap, the only genre to enjoy an international
career. Papi Sanchez left the Dominican shores in 2003 with "Enamorame", the hit
of autumn 2004 in Europe and a No. 2 in France. Papi Sanchez struck again the
following year with "Dilema", his version of Nelly's "Dilemma". His albums Yeah
Baby! (2003), Made in Dominican Republic (2007) and El Rey de la Republic (2008)
were less successful internationally.
