Pitbull and T-Pain Team Up for Concert at Star Lake (Wed., 9/18/24)

Pitbull is not only a fantastic hip-hop performer, he is also a very nice guy. He was the Saturday night headliner for the UPMC Children’s Hospital Celebrity Care Fest in July. He put on a fantastic set with his band and dancers. Pitbull also gave tribute to another performer that night, the legendary Smokey Robinson. Pitbull (nee Armando Christian Pérez) rose out of his hometown of Miami, Florida. Born to parents of Cuban descent, he formulated a hot mix of Latin, hip-hop, reggaeton, and pop. Most recently, Pitbull performed at the halftime of WNBA All-Star Game in July. He’s also performed at Super Bowl and NASCAR events. Pitbull’s latest album release, Trackhouse, featured guest performances from many notables including Nile Rodgers, Lil John, Zac Brown, and tourmate T-Pain. He has been nominated for and won various music awards including a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album for his 2016 Spanish-language LP, Dale.

Grammy Award-winning artist, producer, and songwriter, T-Pain visited Pittsburgh a few months ago on his larger than life Mansion In Wiscansin Party Tour. T-Pain‘s  debut single, 2005’s “I’m Sprung,” charted at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Another early hit was when T-Pain did “I’m on a Boat” with the Lonely Island crew from “Saturday Night Live.” In T-Pain’s new single “Dreaming” he created a 3D animation of himself after learning Blender 3D animation software. He has also teamed up with Snoop Dogg on “That’s How We Ballin,” Meghan Trainer on “Been Like This,” and he recently announced a new duo project with Young Cash–Bluez Brothaz. Earlier this year T-Pain went viral for his On Top of The Covers (Live From The Sun Rose) performance which showcases the innovative artist’s powerful vocals and dynamic voice. T-Pain has also been known for his skillful use of auto-tune. See Pitbull and T-Pain on the Party After Dark Tour at the Pavilion at Star Lake. 8 p.m. 665 Rt. 18, Burgettstown. (R.H.)
