Ricky Martin Explains Move To Record Spanish Album

Leila Cobo of Billboard.com reports Ricky Martin is planning to release both English and Spanish albums by year-end. Ricky explained the move saying that Latin artists shouldn’t forget where they came from after crossing over into the English market. Why? “Because there’s a very large industry we have to support, there’s great Latin American composers, great musicians, great labels, and we can’t leave that to one side,” he said. “It’s very important to assert what we have.”
