Tegui Calderón Rosario (born
February 2 1972 in
Santurce,
Puerto Rico) is a
Puerto Rican rapper. He is best known as Tego Calderon. To Reggaeton fans he is commonly known by the nickname "El Abayarde" which refers to an insect commonly found in Puerto Rico similar to a fire ant. The name is a reference to being bothersome and behaving improperly as a child. He not only records
hip hop music but also
mambo,
salsa (e.g. "Planté bandera" on his debut album, and "Llora, llora" and "Llámame" with
Oscar D'León) in 2006,
blues ("Mardi gras", on the 2006 album) and
reggaetón. In addition, he has also made songs that are pure
reggae, but sung in Spanish (e.g. "Chillin'" from the 2006 album
The Underdog/El Subestimado).He also believes that Jamaican dancehall reggae and hip hop along with Salsa are the roots of Reggaeton. His album
El Abayarde made him a major
Latin star. His lyrics speak of the struggles of the
Puerto Rican people, involve topics of
racism,
inequalities, and ghettos in Puerto Rico, and have strong nationalist undertones.
