The emerging interest for the Latin American music in Europe was one factor in the acceptance and music like this Chilean market as closed as the Scandinavian market, which until recently were only local artists and popular English-speaking. Méndez moved to Stockholm, Sweden, in 1986. He was raised in a modest family struggling to achieve a better future, sometimes getting in trouble while walking around immigrant slums. After joining a counseling institution called Fasta and meeting sound engineer Jordi Fuste, DJ Méndez started his career as a Latin rapper, making his live debut in a local festival. Mixing hip-hop and traditional Latin American rhythms, he was able to get a record deal in 1999, soon climbing charts in Sweden, Norway, Scandinavia, Denmark, Finland, and even Russia with his first hit “Chiki-Chiki”, featured in his debut album Latino for Life. In March 2001 he visited his native country, carrying out a successful promotional tour.

Carnaval,
Y mi corazón,
Carnaval,
Que, que, que cuente conmigo,
Carnaval,
Y va paya' paca',
La mesa te invita a gozar conocer,
es fresca, y tu cuerpo te va a remecer,
es que la garra de este ritmo no te va a soltar,
y tu vida en tre' minutos te va a alegrar,
no hay ni un ritmo solo inventado para las chicas, ricas, mijas,
que mueve el culo en sus falditas,
es algo global, es algo inmenso,
y en esta escena con ustedes comienzo,
this is, for real, you will believe,
y tu veras!,
'cause it knocks you off your feet in a single hearbeat,
c'mon c'mon!
[Coro (chorus)]
Carnaval,
All night long,
Y mi corazón,
Carnaval,
Can't go wrong,
Que, que, que cuente conmigo,
Carnaval,
As long as we live and breathe,
Y va paya', paca',
It's on the latin flavor, go tell a neighbor now,
Es rico dulce como la miel,
y olvida el color que tienes en la piel,
y yo como latino te lo hago asi,
tu ya lo encontraras no te me apresuri',
no paro si pa eso la wea invente,
ah, and you don't know?, y loco nunca cambiare
This is, for real, you will believe,
y tu veras,
'cause it knocks you off your feet in a single hearbeat
c'mon c'mon!
