The Caribbean’s rising low-cost carrier Arajet will celebrate its first year of successful operations on September 15th. In partnership with aircraft manufacturer Boeing, the budget carrier has launched a unique anniversary sales campaign that allows passengers to purchase one-way airfare tickets to most destinations starting from $7.37, whereas one-way tickets to Brazil will start from $73.70.

A whole year of Arajet

Considered the first ultra-low-cost carrier in the Caribbean region, the official launch of Arajet from its base at Las Americas Airport in Santo Domingo in September 2022 was widely celebrated, given its promising outlook. The airline was financially backed by Bain Capital, one of the world’s leading private multi-asset alternative investment firms, allowing it to secure a direct order for Boeing 737 MAX 8s and commence operations.

Within six months of operations, Arajet had transported approximately 150,000 passengers and shows no signs of slowing down. By July this year, the budget carrier had a fleet of five Boeing narrowbodies and was connecting 17 destinations in over 13 countries, including popular places like San José, Bogotá, and Cancún, with over 150 combinations of connections from all its destinations.

Also in the same month, the budget carrier announced further network expansions to destinations scheduled to launch in the remaining months of this year, such as Mexico City in Mexico, Medellín in Colombia, São Paulo Guarulhos in Brazil, Asunción in Paraguay, Toronto and Montreal in Canada, Buenos Aires in Argentina, Santiago in Chile, and Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic.

Celebrating the ultra-low-cost way

While Arajet’s growth in just one year is impressive, the budget carriers owe plenty of thanks to its increasing net of passengers. To celebrate its anniversary and show its gratitude, the airline is offering a special offer allowing passengers to purchase tickets at only $7.37 per segment – excluding taxes and additional fees.

This offer is available for flights to Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Saint Maarten, Curaçao, Aruba, Jamaica, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Canada, and the Dominican Republic by different segments. For flights to Brazil, one-way airfare prices will start at $73.70. It’s worth noting that the special prices are valid for flights from October 1st this year to June 30th next year, except for dates from December 14th this year to January 15th next year.

As for passengers flying with Arajet on September 15th, the ultra-low prices aren’t available. However, the airline will still celebrate its incredible anniversary milestone at Las Americas Airport with music, gifts, and special surprises for attendees. As to what these surprises may be, the suspension hangs as details of the events will only be disclosed in the following days.

The sale started on September 7th, and in the first 24 hours of the offer being live, Arajet sold more than 11,000 tickets. CEO and founder of the airline, Victor Pacheco, shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), commenting,

“Yesterday we sold more than 11 thousand tickets. Arajet’s first year literally started “flying”, with our best day ever. Thank to Dominican Republic and Latin America for choosing us”.

According to the airline, the most sales were to Sao Paulo in Brazil, with more than 2,000 tickets purchased. Other popular destinations included Buenos Aires in Argentina and Mexico City.

Excitement for the following year

With celebrations underway and additional new routes set to be launched later this year, Arajet’s fast expansion is maintaining its pace. Having previously hinted at plans to operate routes to the US, the airline has already requested the Department of Transportation for authorization to launch flights by the end of this year to three destinations, specifically to New York, San Juan, and Miami.

Flight services to Toronto and Montreal will be launched later this month, and in October, Arajet is seeking to operate flights to more Canadian cities. Besides its vast network growth, the airline is also waiting patiently to increase fleet capacities, with more Boeing 737 MAX 8s set to arrive on lease before the end of this year.

Kim will visit Russia in the coming days at the invitation of Putin, the Kremlin said, while North Korean state news agency KCNA said the two would “meet and have a talk”, without elaborating.

US officials have said the pair would discuss possible arms deals to aid Russia’s war in Ukraine and provide North Korea with a much-needed economic and political lifeline.

Whether Kim made the trip for his second summit with Putin had been closely watched by governments because of recent overtures that signalled closer military cooperation between the nuclear-armed North and Russia as it wages its war in Ukraine.

Despite denials by both Pyongyang and Moscow, the United States has said talks are advancing actively for North Korea to supply arms to Russia which has expended vast stocks of weapons in more than 18 months of war in Ukraine.

The North Korean leader appeared to have left aboard a special train bound for Russia, South Korean media reported on Monday, citing unnamed senior government sources, but neither Moscow nor Pyongyang immediately confirmed an exact schedule for the visit.

North Korea is one of the few countries to have openly supported Russia since the invasion of Ukraine last year, and Putin pledged last week to “expand bilateral ties in all respects in a planned way by pooling efforts”.

Kim’s last trip abroad in 2019 was also to Vladivostok for his first summit with Putin after the collapse of North Korea’s nuclear disarmament talks with former US President Donald Trump.

South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper said Kim left Pyongyang late on Sunday and would meet Putin as early as Tuesday.

The broadcaster YTN reported the special train would take Kim to North Korea’s northeastern border with Russia and the summit was likely to be on Tuesday or Wednesday. Both reports cited unnamed senior South Korean government sources.

Secrecy and security

Japanese media reported security was being stepped up and refurbishment was taking place at the main train station in the Russian border city of Khasan, where Kim is expected to enter Russia.

Kim does not travel abroad often and, when he does, it is often shrouded in secrecy and security. He travels by a special train with its signature olive green carriages that are said to be armoured and equipped with communications systems and a personal suite for Kim to work and confer with aides.

South Korea‘s foreign ministry said it was monitoring developments but declined to confirm any details. Officials at South Korea’s unification ministry said they had no information to provide, while officials at the National Intelligence Service could not be reached.

A summit between Kim and Putin would likely focus on military cooperation and possibly a deal to supply arms, US and South Korean officials and analysts have said.

The United States has said it would be a “huge mistake” for North Korea to supply Russia with weapons to use in Ukraine and warned Pyongyang would “pay a price”.

The deepening relationship between Kim and Putin signals a further global split over the war, said Ramon Pacheco Pardo, the Korea Chair at the Brussels School of Governance.

“North Korea’s support will allow Putin to wage his war for longer, which is bad news for Europe,” he said. “It is further proof that much of the world doesn’t support Ukraine in the way the US and Europe do, and some countries such as North Korea will openly support Russia without fear of any real consequences.”

In Vladivostok, there was a higher police presence than usual on the streets but no North Korean flags had been put up – unlike ahead of Kim’s previous trip when the city was adorned with the red five pointed stars that grace the North’s flag.

So you’re sitting in your car at that intersection, waiting for the light to change from red to green when you think, “Hmm, why green? Why not blue or purple? Why are things colored the way they are — and how many ways can you answer that question before this light changes?

Did you know, for example, that before 1905, taxis were red and green? Then, Albert Rockwell introduced a model with a 15-horse-power engine that became the standard. He painted it in yellow because… his wife liked that color! And maintaining marital bliss is a good reason for anything! 😉

SUMMARY:
– Traffic Lights Blink Green for “Go” because — In the 1800s, dangerous heavy machinery had green lights that lit up and warned factory workers they were “on” or “going.”
– Traffic Lights Blink Red for “Stop” because — Red is associated with alarm!
– Green Money— Back when the US started printing paper bills, green ink cost less than other colors, letting the treasury keep more of what they printed!
– We transport kids in big vehicles of the yellow color because it’s the one our eyes see first, even in our peripherals.
– Camouflaging dirt isn’t the reason manufacturers add the chemical compound “carbon black” to their product. “Carbon black” makes tires stronger!
– Farmers painted their barns red because those barns were huge and paint was expensive.
– Dark-blue indigo dye washes away … bit by bit … in each wash. As it does, it softens the fabric, creating that special blue jean feel!
– Black Clarinets — That’s because clarinets are made from black woods, like ebony.
– Back then, most TVs were black and white, so designers created a ball with contrasting pentagons, kind of like the stripes in the crosswalk.
– The first basketballs were brown leather. Yeah, brown as in, the same color as the wooden court! In the 1950s, they switched to orange because it was easier to see.
– Mainstream manufacturers bleach their toilet paper to make it sparkly white because white is associated with cleanliness.
– Believe it or not, white dresses were for mourning until Queen Victoria—one of history’s first style influencers— wore a white dress at her wedding and changed tradition forever!
– The Blue Riband was a pennant awarded to the fastest passenger ship crossing the Atlantic. Over the years, Riband got changed to Ribbon, but the blue part stuck.
– Red means emergency, so it’s a natural choice for fire engines. But today, more and more fire trucks are being painted … lime green and yellow!
– When Walter Diemer created his best bubble gum recipe—less sticky, more bubbles!—he made it pink because, well, that was the color he had!

Last June, at a music festival in Barcelona, Spain, the Puerto Rican rapper and reggaeton trailblazer Villano Antillano took a break in the middle of a song to address the crowd.

“In memory of the women and trans women killed in Puerto Rico and the world,” she said. “Never forget.”

She went on to sing “Mujer,” one of the songs on her debut album, “La Sustancia X,” from last December, which she has described as the soundtrack of her transition into a woman.

She rapped in Spanish in the chorus: “I am a woman full of power./I can decide how to defend myself./I can kill, but I can be understanding./I can love you or subjugate you./Deprive you or provide you./You can’t tell me what to do./I control the pencil; I have the brush./I am the master of dawn.”

Villano Antillano’s lyrics are bold and explicit, reveling in pride and often reclaiming homophobic slurs as a means of self-affirmation. Her stage presence is just as eloquent: She can be sassy and playful or impassioned and defiant — but whether rapping or dancing, her fans say, she is always magnetic.

The artist is emerging as one of the most transformative figures in reggaeton and the broader urbano movement — the Spanish-speaking music scene encompassing other hip-hop-influenced genres, like trap.

“Energetic, attractive, a fire, an explosion!” said Angélica Vilariño, a fan from Puerto Rico who attended Barcelona’s Primavera Sound festival. “It makes me want to move my bottom, to dance with my friends!”

Amanda Soliván, another fan from Puerto Rico, described the artist’s energy as sensual, even sexual: “Women are taught we cannot express our sexuality, but seeing her doing it so openly, regardless of what people say, inspires you to do the same.”

Soliván praised Villano Antillano for her message of female empowerment, which she said contrasts sharply with the history of sexism in reggaeton: “She is showing that women, people in the [LGBTQ] community, everybody can be part of this genre.”

A large crowd gathered at the 2023 Primavera Sound Barcelona music festival to watch Villano Antillano perform.

The singer’s breakthrough came a year ago. It was a rap session in collaboration with Argentine producer Bizarrap, which has surpassed 200 million plays both on Youtube and Spotify.

Shortly after, Villano Antillano was invited to perform the song live by reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny during one of his massive shows in Puerto Rico. The following two nights, Bad Bunny invited on stage Young Miko and RaiNao, two other Puerto Rican artists from the LGBTQ community.

In an article for Rolling Stone magazine, journalist Frances Solá-Santiago called the gesture “monumental” and said Bad Bunny “co-signed a women-led revolution that’s been brewing in Puerto Rico over the past several years.”

In this revolution, Villano Antillano is one of the leading figures, said Ashley Oliva Mayor, the co-director of Hasta’ Bajo Project, a group preserving the history of reggaeton in Puerto Rico.

“She is a pioneer,” said Natalia Merced, a content creator at Hasta’ Bajo Project, about the artist. “While there are other queer women in the genre, nobody is doing it quite like her, being so genuine and vocal.”

The causes for reggaeton’s “queer turn,” as Oliva Mayor calls it, are a changing public, which has become more accepting of diversity, but also the transformation of the music business.

Merced said the digital revolution is allowing people from marginalized groups, who may lack support from the industry, to record and release their songs at a low cost online while building a fan base through social media.

“There’s still so much prejudice that these artists may not be able to go to a label, show their music and get signed up,” she said. “Sadly, they must prove themselves first.”

That was the case for Villano Antillano, who started independently. Her first EP, “Tiranía,” was released in 2019, and her Soundcloud page features tracks dating back to September 2018.

Alan Ruiz Terol/The World

Villano Antillano, whose real name is Villana Santiago Pacheco, was born in 1995 in Bayamón, near the Puerto Rican capital of San Juán. She grew up in a family of music enthusiasts; her father of Argentine rock and her mother of R&B stars like Missy Elliott and Destiny’s Child.

She left her home at the age of 17 but didn’t begin transitioning until the age of 25. 

“Being a queer person in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean is very difficult, and being a trans woman is unspeakable,” she told El País. “Men seek you out at night, but during the day, they would stone you to death.”

The average life expectancy for trans women in Latin America is between 30 and 35 years, according to a 2015 report by the Organization of American States.

Her experiences as a trans person were also shaped by the political status of Puerto Rico, which she denounces as a colony “sequestered” by the United States. “It may sound far-fetch, but I didn’t understand the concept of sovereignty because my country is not sovereign, so it took a long time to understand that I could have agency,” she said in an interview with SXSW.

Villano Antillano’s candor, both in her personal life and political views, makes her stand out in the reggaeton scene as a radical figure — but some believe she is returning to the genre’s very essence.

“She is the evolution of reggaeton, its future, but at the same time, is its purest expression,” Merced said. “Reggaeton is very political.”

Reggaeton started as an outlet where marginalized people in Puerto Rico could talk about their experiences, Merced said. From the early 1990s, the genre was censored by authorities, with police raiding record stores and seizing reggaeton CDs, which were deemed pornographic. 

“They accused it of being violent, of corrupting the youth, but the violence they talked about was the one they were suffering due to police and drug trafficking,” Merced said.

While both Merced and Oliva Mayor acknowledge the sexism in reggaeton, they said that they believe it’s also been overplayed as part of the vilification of the genre. 

“Reggaeton is not the only male-dominated music genre, nor the only one haunted by machismo,” Oliva Mayor said.

“Reggaeton is just as misogynistic as any other music genre because it’s a reflection of the patriarchal society we live in,” Merced said. “But reggaeton has been demonized, and in Puerto Rico, it was specifically used by the government and dominant classes as a scapegoat for society’s evils.”

The different music genres that coalesced into reggaeton were all shaped by the African diaspora, such as dancehall and reggae en español, developed in Jamaica and Panama, as well as hip hop, born in the Bronx, New York.

“Reggaeton exists because Puerto Ricans living in New York played a fundamental role in the creation of hip-hop,” Merced said. “They would visit their families in Puerto Rico and bring the music, the fashion, the dancing, and teach it to their cousins, their brothers—that’s how this mix came into being.”

In a few decades, reggaeton would go from being marginalized music in Puerto Rico to becoming the island’s greatest cultural export, following the breakthrough in the 2000s of early stars like Tego Calderón, Don Omar, and Daddy Yankee, as well as female pioneers like Ivy Queen.

The genre reached new heights with the 2017 collaboration between Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi, “Despacito,” and more recently with the stunning ascension to the urbano throne of Bad Bunny, the top artist on Spotify globally for three years in a row.

But as Puerto Rican music enjoys unparalleled commercial success, artists like Villano Antillano continue to push boundaries while staying true to the genre’s roots.

“Long live reggaeton and the urbano movement,” Villano Antillano told the crowd in Barcelona. “And long live women in the urbano scene, and long live trans women in the urbano scene, and more importantly, long live black women in the urbano scene, because it belongs to them.”
