Rene Lopez Premieres 'Els' Video On Youtube Music Page, Plays Highline Ballroom On Friday

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) Singer and multi-instrumentalist Rene Lopez is celebrating his duel identity as a native New Yorker and second generation Puerto Rican with his new album ELS, (out August 30th onNat Geo Music) and he's just released the colorful video for the title track. If you didn't catch the premiere on YouTube's music homepage yesterday, click HERE to watch the video. The track epitomizes Rene's unique sound, which he has dubbed Electric Latin Soul, and which mixes the Latin music and boogaloo his father once performed with the rock, soul, and hip hop that he grew up listening to as a New York City kid.
