Personal View

After the band’s hiatus in 2013, Yandel continued to tour alone. In an interview with MTV after one of their international successes, Yandel said: “Never, never would we have thought this was going to happen. I told Wisin, ‘Yo, we need to learn to speak English!’ We are actually in talks of getting a tutor who will travel with us to start learning, because I always said that English is a language you really need to know, especially now.”
