In Da Cayes

Reggaeton Artists Franxel & Chamika Shoot Music Video in San Pedro

San Pedro has been known as one of the hot spots for celebrities to come and vacation or perform. On Saturday, May 15th a video shoot took place on the island for a new reggaeton group from Belize named Franxel and Chamika. This is their second video “In Da Cayes” off their upcoming album “Los Nenes Del Grubeo” coming in July.

Chamika and Franxel came from Belmopan and worked alongside young Belizean rapper Myro and Florida Rapper, Shadowyze. Franxel and Chamika are best known for their debut on Channel 5’s Duets and performing in San Pedro as one of the opening performers for DJ Flex Concert.

Shadowyze has been successful in the past with his smash hits: “Boom Boom”, “Main High” and “We Work”, which hit all over the USA. The rapper has had the opportunity to collaborate with Baby Bash and now he got the honor to help out our fellow Belizean reggaeton group on their new hot track: In Da Cayes, produced by young Belizean producer Josh “The Code”.

This single is all about San Pedro and its beautiful lifestyles it has to offer. Franxel and Chamika’s video was shot by Belizeteve along the beachside of Victoria House and Royal Caribbean Resort. The video will also feature the nightlife of San Pedro at Jaguar’s Temple Night Club.

“In Da Cayes” video is set to be their key to international recognition stated Franxel and Chamika. Shadowyze told Ambergris Today that San Pedro is the best place to make a song of the cayes and make a video because of all the natural beauty it has to offer and to show off tourism.

Anything is possible with a little hard work and dedication. Good luck to these great entertainers.

Franxel y Chami-ka film reggaeton video on La Isla Bonita

    Local Reggaeton Artists Franxel y Chami-Ka, from Belmopan, Cayo District, were in San Pedro over the weekend, filming footage for their new music video entitled “Feel Your Love (en San Pedro)” in which they feature Shadwyze, a native American Indian from Florida, USA now residing in Belize. This marks the duo’s second music video and is scheduled to be released in the United States within the month. The idea of the video is to showcase their talents to a wider audience. Footage collected will depict the daily life in San Pedro in a beautiful way; from the long white sandy beaches, the vast expanse of the Caribbean Sea, to the pools, water sports activities and the night life in La Isla Bonita. With the recent hike in crime in the country and the negative press that has come along with it, Franxel y Chami-Ka hope that this video will help to promote Belize in a more positive light.

    Franxel y Chami-Ka became a group on February 1st 2009. Since then, they have had the opportunity to showcase their talents in various venues. Their dedication, persistence and faith in their music have taken them to Guatemala to perform at a Telethon, where they made their first international debut. In January 2010, the duo was invited to appear on the show “Desorden Con El Rasta” (a television show that showcases reggaeton artists from all over the world), in La Ceiba; Honduras, where they introduced their music video entitled “Noche de Pegue”. In La Ceiba, their music video was well received, and as a result Franxel y Chami-ka have grown very popular in that country. In February 2010, Franxel y Chami-Ka had the opportunity to win the hearts of the residents of San Pedro Ambergris Caye, with an extraordinary performance as the second local performers leading up to the DJ Flex/Nigga Concert. The Duo has expressed interests in being invited to perform in this year’s Costa Maya Festival.

    Driven by their determination to succeed, and take Belize to another level in the music industry, Franxel y Chami-Ka have recently completed recording their first ever reggaetón album out of Belize, entitled “Los Nenes Del Grubeo”. The album is scheduled to be released by late June 2010, with the finishing touches being made in New Jersey, USA.

    Their lyrics and beats are original, and are produced by RVM Records, located in Santa Elena, Cayo Distict. The album, “Los Nenes Del Grubeo,” counts on the participation of internationally acclaimed artists such as Shadowyze; Best Hip Hop Native American Music Award recipient in 2005, and Grammy Nominee; Ras Indio, Belizean reggae star. The group has great expectations for their future, including exploring the possibilities of a show in the Dominican Republic and at the Park Fest in New York City, in July 2010.

    Franxel y Chami-ka take this opportunity to express their gratitude to their sponsors: La Cabaña, Belizeteve/Morpho Productions (Belmopan), Royal Caribbean Resort, Victoria House, Liquor Box, Jose Chacon, Ralfy Banton, Chambita, Mrs. Delia Figueroa, DJ Lotion, Reef Radio and the Caye Caulker Water Taxi Assn. The video is being produced by Morpho Productions. Special thanks to Josh “El Codigo”, Producer (RVM Records) Myro “El Fundamento”, and to the beautiful ladies, Michelle, Amber, Tracy, Tania and Alicia; for being a part of the video.
