Mercadonegro (meaning "Black Market" in Spanish) is a Latin American salsa music group. Their debut album was released in 2002 from Bibomusic.
Salsa music is a popular dance music genre that initially arose in New York City during the 1960s. Salsa is the product of various musical genres including the Cuban son montuno, guaracha, cha cha chá, mambo, and to a certain extent bolero, and the Puerto Rican bomba and plena. Latin jazz, which was also developed in New York City, has had a significant influence on salsa arrangers, piano guajeos, and instrumental soloists.
The uptempo music of Mercadonegro makes many of its songs a popular choice in salsa dancing performances and competitions. The song "La Malanga" from their 2005 album "Salsa Pa'l Mundo Entero" was the most popular song at the 2012 World Latin Dance Cup, leading to the song being banned from the 2013 competition. "La Bendición" is another popular song from the group, which has also been banned from the World Latin Dance Cup for 2014. [1] The song was also used by John & Andrew in the quarterfinals of season 9 of America's Got Talent.
Season nine of the reality competition series America's Got Talent premiered on May 27, 2014 and was won by magician Mat Franco. Nick Cannon returned for his sixth season as host. This is Howie Mandel's fifth season, Howard Stern's third season, and Mel B and Heidi Klum both returned for their second season on the judging panel.
