MIAMI — More than 20 stars from the Latino music and film community released a Spanish-language video in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Thursday, days before Puerto Rico’s primary.
The video — “Podemos con Obama” or “We can With Obama” — features such notable Puerto Ricans as actor John Leguizamo and hip-hop artist Don Omar, and international pop stars Alejandro Sanz and Paulina Rubio. Actors George Lopez and Jessica Alba also participated.
The video comes as Obama seeks to woo Latino voters, who generally have preferred rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in the primaries. Clinton is favored to win Puerto Rico’s primary Sunday.
Produced by Andres Levin, the video was inspired by one he made earlier this year with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, titled “We Are The Ones,” and unveiled just before the Democratic primaries in Texas and Ohio in March. The Associated Press
