Gente de Zona is one of the most famous Cuban reggaeton groups with a strong fan following both inside and outside of Cuba. Their music has captured the attention of the Caribbean and European Latino audience and has broken record sales online. Founded in 2000 by Alexander Delgado, Gente de Zona (GDZ), comes from the slang term for neighborhood people since its style of music is said to have been created to combine the rhythms of traditional Cuban music and blend their own style to attract the young audience.

Alexander Delgado, creator of the band (Gente de Zona), grew up in Alamar, Havana a little town located east of the Cuban capital. "At first there were only a few guys from our neighborhood, hence the name, we had no other, we were known as Gente de Zona ... when reggaeton arrived, it gave me the opportunity to put our letters in the streets by a commercial format ... I wanted to give music and dancing meaning. "

Gente de Zona was made up by Alexander Delgado and Michel (El Caro) at the beginning of the group’s career. Together the group promoted in the most diverse events where gender defended hip-hop, appearing in towns like Regla, Guanabacoa, and Alamar, places where this type of music is heard. For five years they expanded their pace until 2005, after “El Caro” left the group. Alexander joined Yosdany ("Jacob Forever") and Fernando Otero ("Nando Pro") enabling him to record his first album Pa La Gente De Mi Zona under the same name they placed their first hit single on national radio with other songs like ‘Le Gustan Los Artistas,’ ‘Soñe’ and ‘La Campaña’, making them find musical success on television and local radio.
