In 1998, Wisin y Yandel got in the rap genre, recording for DJ Dicky's No Fear 3 under the Fresh Production label. In 1999, that same label signed them up and in that same year, they appeared in La Misión, Vol. 1, reaching gold status. The reception was so good that the label produced their first solo album in 2000 titled Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio. Before that, Yandel was working as a barber while Wisin had already some musical projects in mind.
In 2001, they reappear in La Misión II winning them their second gold record. That year, they also released their second solo album, De Nuevos a Viejos, turning into the best-selling album in the island and giving them their third gold album. La Misión III' came out as successful as its predecessors (backed by the hit song "Dembow"), garnering them their fourth gold album. In that year, they won a "Tu Música" award as the "Most Important Rap & Reggae Duo".
In November 2002, they release their third album titled De Otra Manera. As it was expected, the album got them their fifth gold album. A year later, they released its follow-up called Mi Vida.
In 2004, both of them decided to take a break and go solo. Yandel recorded Quien Contra Mí while Wisin released El Sobreviviente. The latter became a smash-hit, with guest stars such as Daddy Yankee and Alexis y Fido.
In 2005, they released their latest album titled Pa'l Mundo. They appear in the new Daddy Yankee CD, Barrio Fino en Directo.
In 2006, an album called Pa'l Mundo Deluxe Edition will be released on May 16.
Wisin (also known as "W" ["double u"]) was born Juan Luis Morera Luna on December 15, 1979 while Yandel was born Llandel Veguilla Malavé on January 14, 1977.
Their latest album was released in November of 2005 named Pal Mundo.
Additionally, in 2005 they established their own record label, titled "WY Records" (Double U-Y). They are known throughout Puerto Rico as "El Duo Dinamico" or "El Duo De La Historia".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sólo necesito oír tu voz un día más
Yo ya sé que te da igual
Que sin mí no puedes estar
Ya no aguanto un día más
Perdóname...
Tú eres la que me domina,
Laberinto sin salida (regresa por favor)
Vagabundo en las esquinas
Tú mi droga preferida
Me ha dolido tu partida (regresa por favor)
Hola... cómo estás?
Sólo necesito oír tu voz un día más
Yo ya sé que te da igual
Que sin mí no puedes estar
Ya no aguanto un día más
Perdóname...
No es que te tire, pero bregaste mal,
Me decías que era tuya,
Pero la tratabas como un rival,
Hermano, bregaste mal,
Pero sal y lucha yo voy a que ella te escucha
Mira hermano luche y escuche entiendes
Con intentarlo usted nada pierde
Ella es la mujer que me vuelve loco
Sabe como lastimarme
Tiene mi corazón ardiendo fuerte y me duele
He pensado hasta matarme ya no sé cómo olvidarte
Yo sólo sé que en esta vida vas a ser mía o de nadie
Hola... cómo estás?
Sólo necesito oír tu voz un día más
Yo ya sé que te da igual
Que sin mí no puedes estar
Perdóname...

Wisin y Yandel
In this song, Wisin y Yandel express their desperate need to hear the voice of a woman who has left them. They are at a point where they can no longer tolerate living without her and they ask for her forgiveness. The lyrics suggest that this woman has a powerful hold on the duo and that they are devoted to her. They describe themselves as being lost and wandering aimlessly without her. The song emphasizes their intense feelings of love and longing for her, while also acknowledging the mistakes they have made in the relationship.
Throughout "Ola," Wisin y Yandel convey a sense of desperation and heartache. They describe feeling like they are trapped in a maze with no way out without this woman. Through their lyrics, they show how she is their addiction and they are struggling to move on from her. The song's refrain of, "Hola... cómo estás? Sólo necesito oír tu voz un día más" ("Hello... how are you? I just need to hear your voice one more day") emphasizes their plea for her to come back to them. They know that she may not care about their pain, but they hope that she might respond to their plea and take them back.
One aspect of the song that stands out is how the duo acknowledges their role in the relationship's demise. They recognize that they did not treat her well and that they need to change their behavior if they want a chance with her. However, they also express their willingness to fight for her and do whatever it takes to make her theirs again. This theme of taking responsibility for one's actions and growing from past mistakes is an important lesson that listeners can take away from the song.
