Three
years ago, Francisco
Saldana and
Victor Cabrera
worked at Harvard
University,
(Luny) as a
chef and (Tunes)
as a dishwasher.
Meanwhile, they
were both dreaming
of making music.
Today,
this production
team has become
the most successful
musical producers
of the reggaeton
genre, collaborating
with every artist
in the reggeton
world creating
unprecedented
hits for each
one.
Some
of their current
hits are Bumper
(Voltio), Gasolina,
Lo que Paso
Paso (Daddy
Yankee), Guasa
Guasa, Al Natural
(Tego Calderon),
Rakata (Wisin
y Yandell),
They have also
worked with
R Kelly on his
Reloaded album
creating the
track and producing
Burn It Up as
well as up and
coming collaborations
for Ricky Martin's
next album and
Sean Paul.
Francisco
Saldana, (Luny)
is the youngest
of three children
with two sisters.
He was born
in the Dominican
Republic on
June 23, 1979.
His parents
are Dominican
as well. Left
his native land
to live his
teenage years
alongside his
mother and sisters.
Residing in
Puerto Rico
Luny grew up
listening underground
Puerto Rican
rap. Then moved
to Peabody MA,
to finish high
school where
he met Tunes,
and then to
Harvard University
to work as a
chef, inviting
Tunes to work
with him as
a dishwasher.
Luny was still
dreaming of
making music,
alongside Tunes.
They got an
invitation to
do so back in
Puerto Rico
and he brought
Tunes along
with him, leaving
the stability
of Harvard University
behind, never
looking back.
Victor
Cabrera, (Tunes)
was also born
in the Dominican
Republic. On
April 12, 1981.
Decided to come
to Puerto Rico
for the first
time and with
his heart on
his hand hoping
to reach his
goals. Tunes
is the master
of the melodies
and complements
with Luny to
create new ideas
and projects.
The first exponent
of the genre
that worked
with the dynamic
duo was Ivy
Queen; the most
recent one was
Daddy Yankee,
with Barrio
Fino. The innovative
sound of Luny
Tunes has by
now been utilized
by great artists
such as Baby
Rasta y Gringo,
Hector &
Tito, Tego Calderon,
Don Omar, Wisin
& Yandell,
Victor Manuel,
Angel Lopez,
Angel &
Chriz, and many
more.
During
their careers
Luny Tunes have
received many
acknowledgements
and awards;
it was not until
2004 that their
career took
a turn, when
they won two
of the internationally
recognized "Billboard
Latin Music
Awards",
one for Best
Duo, and the
other one for
Best Tropical
Album of the
Year, Mas Flow.
Luny Tunes were
also the winners
of the people's
Choice Reggaeton
Awards, for
Best Producers
of the Year,
and platinum
and gold awards
with their album
"La Trayectoria
de Luny Tunes"
and many others.
They
have not only
realized their
dream of making
music, but they
also became
successful entrepreneurs.
