In early 2010, fans of urban music and other styles that came from the streets, will find the original and innovative rhythms of Dyland & Lenny in their debut CD, My World.
And to jump into the competitive urban world with the credibility that is required, Dyland & Lenny called upon important producers in this genre, Luny Tunes.
Luny (Francisco Saldaña) and Tunes (Víctor Cabrera), were instrumental in the development of the genre and in the boom of great artists like Daddy Yankee, Don Omar and Tego Calderón, among many others. In that list no doubt one will soon find Dyland & Lenny, with their album My World, from which the first single chosen was Nadie te amará como yo, composed by Luny Tunes.
In all, 14 compositions (12 written by Dyland & Lenny), make up this new musical production, My World.
“Luny gave his touch to this production and got us the best producers, people like Tainy,” commented Dyland from the city of San Juan “It was clear that only Luny could bring key musical elements to the project.”
That commitment to quality is part of their sports creed, since Dyland & Lenny, while growing up, were on a promising path to becoming successful basketball players. Dyland received a scholarship for his talent to study at Florida Air Academy, in Melbourne, Florida. His life as an athlete meant everything to him, until he discovered the joys of performing music.
“I had a cousin who was trying to break out as a singer, and who one day made me join him at a studio,” recalls Dyland. “The producers told me ‘you look like an artist, why don’t you go into the sound booth and show us what you can do.’ So I went in and I improvised a rap.”
In 2005, back in Puerto Rico, Dyland decided to change professional paths. “I was very serious about my sport, but music won me over,” he explains.
Lenny, meanwhile, also saw himself developing a career in the sports world, even though he had tried singing at an early age and had liked it. After entering the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón, in the area of Santurce, on a sports scholarship, he suffered a lower back injury that forced him to change his goals. Encouraged by a friend, he entered an auditions process and was chosen to be part of a boy band called Ánima 5.
With time, Lenny received an offer from Dyland (whom he knew from their days on the basketball court) to join forces with him and do urban music. Lenny accepted.
“He brought me into what really fulfills me,” says Lenny. “I am a balladeer and a reggaetón artist, and it was in urban music that I felt the most comfortable.” They recorded a first album, La nueva camada de leones, which went unreleased, but served to help them gain a valuable experience to proceed with their next big step: joining Sony Music.
Besides My World, Dyland & Lenny have also recorded a song with Mexican singing star Ana Bárbara, Rompiendo Cadenas, and have performed along with Pee Wee on stage for the Tecate Premios Deportes (June 2009, Los Angeles, California). “For us, music is something professional”, says Dyland. “It is not a game. And we don’t want to copy anyone else. We want to be recognized for what we can bring to urban music.”

La Telenovela
Dyland & Lenny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si ya no existe la palabra amar
Para que seguir. Para que luchar
Para que intentar si el amor ya se deterioro
Es como echarle agua a una flor k ya se marchit??
Y como reconstruir sue??os de calor
Y como fertilizar su seco suelos
Como parado en ellos alcanzo el cielo
Ya no para que seguir para que fingir
Lo falso sentir renuncio a mi papel de actor
Ya me voy actriz la tenelovela llego a su fin (bis)
OIE mi hermano siempre presente que tu entregaste todo tu ser en esa relaci??n
Y (todo) y ella no lo supo valorizar
Ya vasta de llorar
Ya basta de sufrir
No m??s tu lesi??n lo escribes tu mismo
Y de seguro que a ti te espera un mejor porvenir
Empieza a pensar en ti
Qu??date con tus palabras llenas de falsedad
Prefiero quedarme charlando con la soledad
Solo a sola solo
Antes de escuchar su necedad
Y confundirme m??s
Para que seguir minti??ndonos y enga????ndonos
Para que seguir hiri??ndonos por que raz??n (por que raz??n)
Si se que nada sientes en tu coraz??n
Ya no para que seguir para que fingir
Lo falso sentir renuncio a mi papel de actor
Ya me voy actriz la tenelovela llego a su fin (bis)
Siendo sincero
Miedo dile que
Ya encontraste su relevo
Fueron 4 a??os
Que paso t?? estabas ciego
Dile que se arrepienta
Y que no te mienta
Y que se quite de la mente
El dicho de atender la tienda
Si yo lo di todo que te daba de todo
T?? se lo dabas todo y ella te llena de lodo
Ou olv??date de eso acost??mbrate al proceso
No llores m??s por eso (es m??s)
No vuelva ablarme de eso
Ya no para que seguir para que fingir
Lo falso sentir renuncio a mi papel de actor
Ya me voy actriz la tenelovela llego a su fin.
The lyrics of Dyland & Lenny's song La Telenovela express the sentiment of a relationship that has deteriorated beyond repair. The singer questions the point of trying to revive love that has faded away, comparing it to watering a withered flower. The chorus repeats the phrase "ya no para que seguir" (there is no point in continuing), conveying a sense of resignation to the inevitable end of the relationship. The lyrics also touch on themes of self-worth and the need to move on from toxic relationships that do not value us.
The line "renuncio a mi papel de actor" (I renounce my role as an actor) suggests the idea of pretending to feel something that is no longer there. The singer realizes that it is time to stop "falsos sentimientos" (false feelings) and be honest with themselves and their partner. The reference to a "telenovela" (soap opera) implies a sense of drama and exaggeration that may have characterized the relationship, leading the singer to leave the show before it becomes even more painful to watch.
Overall, Dyland & Lenny's La Telenovela is a poignant reflection on the end of a romantic relationship and the need to let go of something that has run its course. The lyrics express the complexity of emotions that come with this process, from pain and loss to the possibility of a brighter future.
