International music sensation, Pitbull, is gearing up for his highly anticipated “MR. WORLDWIDE’S CARNAVAL” tour with leading promoter, AEG Live. “We are genuinely thrilled and proud to be working with an incredibly talented and global act such as Pitbull. The tour promises to bring to life his numerous hits in an explosion of sound and sight,” commented Rebeca Leon, VP of Latin Talent for AEG. The tour will begin on the heels of Pit’s current outing, a string of shows that has touched far reaching territories of the globe including Mexico, Central and South America, Russia, Australia, UK, France, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Switzerland,Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. “MR. WOLDWIDE’S CARNAVAL” will be a major extravaganza as Pit takes his celebration to over 25 cities with the hope of uniting people from all walks of life—culturally, linguistically and racially—in the way only Mr. 305 can: by bringing down the house. “I can’t wait to start ‘Mr. Worldwide’s Carnaval’ tour to show the world that music is the true universal language. It’s a great opportunity to show how powerful we can all be when we are united,”describes Pit. The kick off is set for May 25 at 1stBank Center in Denver and continuing through June 28 with a final show at the Milwaukee Summerfest.
Fueled by his drive to stay on top of the game, Pit will release on May 25, ARMANDO, the first full Spanish-language album of his career on Mr. 305 Records/Famous Artist/Sony Latin. Featured on the album is the infectious breakout hit, “Watagatapitusberry,” featuring Lil Jon, Sensato, Black Point and El Cata. The track is fire and continues its rapid climb up the Billboard charts. Other notable tracks on the disc include, “Maldito Alcohol” and “Orgullo.” Not one to alienate anyone from his world, Pit will also unleash PLANETPIT on Mr. 305/Polo Grounds/J Records in Fall 2010. This album will follow up the international smash, Rebelution, which spurred the hits “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),” “Hotel Room Service,” “Shut It Down” featuring Akon and “Krazy” featuring Lil Jon, which have sold over 5 Million digital singles combined in the US alone. Beyond delivering some of our generation’s biggest pop, urban, dance and Latin hits, Pit has proven he can also dominate the web with over 160 Million views on YouTube from clips of his immensely popular repertoire, including “Culo,” “Dammit Man,” “The Anthem,” “Go Girl,” “Shake,” “Ay Chico,” “Bojangles,”“Dime” and two tracks from the Fast and the Furious film franchise, “Oye” and “Blanco” among many others.
