When we asked Sech — whose syrupy delivery makes him one of the most romantic singers in reggaeton — to come up with a list of lovey-dovey Valentine’s Day songs, the task was almost too hard for him. “The first thing you have to write in this article is, ‘Sech says picking five romantic songs is way too complicated!’” he laughs during a recent phone call from Panama. “But I’m going to go for it.”

Mexican singer Kalimba is set to be released from jail after a judge ruled there's not enough evidence to take his rape case to trial. The pop star, full name Kalimba Marichal Ibar is accused of raping a 17 year old in a Quintana Roo hotel in December 2010.
He was deported from America to Mexico last week after a Mexican judge issued a warrant for his arrest. He was detained in Texas and his attorney claimed he was in Texas on business and was not trying to flee.
Kalimba, 28, has maintained his innocence of the rape charges.
The singer was the voice of Simba in a Spanish-language version of "The Lion King".

Cancun, Mexico — A Mexican judge has ruled there is not enough evidence to try Mexican pop singer Kalimba on rape charges, and ordered him released.
The attorney general of the Caribbean coast state of Quintana Roo says he disagrees with the ruling, but is not planning to appeal it.
The charges alleged that a 17-year-old girl was raped on Dec. 19 at a Quintana Roo hotel.
Francisco Alor said Thursday the judge could have ordered a trial on lesser charges of corrupting a minor, because the girl was drinking.
Kalimba denies the accusations. The case received front-page coverage in Mexican newspapers and has been a staple of talk shows.
The singer's full name is Kalimba Kadjaly Marichal Ibar. He formerly performed with the group OV7.

Mexican singer Kalimba is set to appear in court to face the sexual assault allegations of two underage girls in December. The girls, both 17, were allegedly sexually abused by the 28-year-old pop singer after his December 18 performance at a club.
Their testimonies read that they were hired to be hostesses during the singer's performance at the Buddha Bar club in Chetumal on a no-pay basis. They were told that they will be compensated in the form of "hanging out" with Kalimba.
The first girl, a high school student, claims she and the other girl was invited by the bar's administrator to an after-party at the Marlon Hotel, where free drinks would be served.
During the party, she was allegedly raped by Kalimba, whose real name is Kalimba Marichal Ibar, after she fell asleep around 3 a.m. in his hotel room. She filed complaint on December 20, Monday, at a local public ministry.
