San Juan, Dec 28: Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Dyland and Lenny led a protest march Tuesday against domestic violence and also against shooting guns in the air, so typical of the Caribbean island's New Year's festivities.
Dyland, born Carlos Castillo Cruz, told Efe in an interview that his participation in the march, which wended its way through the streets of the western city of Mayaguez, was due to his concern over violence and a wish to use his fame to contribute to a good cause.
Julio Manuel Gonzalez Tavarez - Lenny - said he felt 'alarmed' by the number of murders in Puerto Rico, 1,116 to date in 2011, or 154 more than at the same.
