Machete Music Tour 2010

Background

Machete Music is an urban and reggaetón music label owned by Universal Music Group. Claiming 80% of Latin Rhythm Billboard chart sales, Machete has had 27 top ten albums on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart with eleven of those being number one albums.

After the success of Ivy Queen's 2007 effort Sentimiento, which spawned the Top 10 hit "Que Lloren" and was later certified Platinum by the United States Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), a substantial live album, Ivy Queen 2008 World Tour LIVE! was distributed by Machete in 2008. Subsequently, Queen signed a new record deal with the label in April 2010 as it celebrated its fifth anniversary. The tour was then launched later that year in celebration of the new artist and its fifth anniversary.
