Hundreds of reggaeton fans and GOP delegates united under one roof Monday night for the "Fiesta Americana" concert, a Red Cross fundraiser to aid Gulf relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Gustav. Headlining the charity event was Latin Grammy Award-winning recording artist Daddy Yankee.

Listen to the song "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee. The reggaeton star is endorsing John McCain for president.
