The reggaetonero will make history by participating in the first countdown of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in Spanish and from Puerto Rico.
The traditional New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square is approaching, and this year, reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee will give a special performance from his native Puerto Rico, and will participate in the first-ever Spanish-language countdown.

On Tuesday, Dec. 7, the names of the first guests for the party began to be revealed, confirming actress and singer Roselyn Sanchez as co-host of the event and Daddy Yankee as part of the show.
