Director of Photography Karsten “Crash” Goponath also collaborated in this project. The filming took place during the day and night, utilizing a huge crane to capture multiple special effects, auto explosions and wall demolition. The complex scenery included missiles, military trucks, barrels of fire, water, a huge boom box and many abandoned cars. The result is an exciting combination of styles of music and dance demonstrating the unity in cultures”, explained Perez. “We wanted to combine krump and one of its founders, Tommy The Clown, which came out of Compton in Los Angeles, with the members of Rock Steady Crew, a group created in New York, which founded break dancing, with the Daddy Yankee dance crew, representing reggaeton, the genre that’s hitting the musical industry by storm.

We’re pushing the envelope with everything that we’re doing, and the Rompe video is no exception,” said Daddy Yankee, one of the hottest Latin urban artists today.Īpproximately 40 dancers made up the cast that was divided into three dancing groups: reggaeton, break dance and krump. “I’m very pleased with the work of Carlos Perez and Jessy Terrero in this video.
