Proyecto Uno (in English: Project One) is a Dominican-American hip hop/Merengue house group which helped popularize a style of music which blends merengue with techno, dancehall, reggae and hip-hop/rap music.[1] The band was founded in New York City's East Side in 1989 by Nelson Zapata and managed by Porfirio "Popi" Piña.[2] Originally formed as traditional merengue band, Proyecto Uno received recognition in the 1990s after Magic Juan joined the group as a lead vocalist and incorporating modern Afro-American and North American music known as "merengue hip hop".[3] The group won Billboard Latin Music Awards, Premios Lo Nuestro, and an Emmy award.[4] The current members are Nelson Zapata, Kid G, and Paolo Tondo. The manager of the group currently is Rafael Zapata (Don Rafa).[5]
