 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (LaCalla Records/ www.lacallerecords.com) - Producer Kaydean and LaCalle Records' Latin Hip-Hop & R&B recording artists Mente Urbana and Janid recently finished contributing their urban sound and flavor to the soundtrack of Puerto Rican mini series 'El Ultimo Caso del Detective Prado.' Kaydean was approached by Producer and Screenwriter, José Artemio, in an effort to give the detective mini series an urban edge. Although the mini-series was originally scored by renowned Latin Jazz trumpeter Humberto Ramírez, the addition of Mente Urbana and Janid provides additional realism since it successfully combines the street rhythms of east Coast R&B and Hip-Hop with the flavor and heart of the Latin culture. With only a week left to edit the movie, producer Kaydean and singer Janid got together, analyzed the plot and the characters and in one weekend produced, recorded and mixed several tracks especially written for the mini series. Additionally, songs from Mente Urbana's debut album, 'MU:One', Janid's yet untitled solo album and Kaydean's 5th solo album 'Tranceformed', were presented to Mr. Artemio and successfully added to the mini series soundtrack. Mente Urbana will be performing live on Cultura Viva during a special show which will air Thursday, February 17 on TuTV, Channel 6 at 7 P.M. The mini series, 'El Ultimo Caso del Detective Prado' will air from February 22-24, also on Channel 6. LaCalle Records plans to release Mente Urbana's debut album 'MU:One', Kaydean's 'Tranceformed' and Janid's solo project later this year along with a national tour covering the United States and Puerto Rico.
